[edit] History
The division supervised Strategic Air Command's Reflex forces in Morocco. The Reflex force concept involved deploying bombardment aircraft non-stop from the United States to forward sites, with one air refueling. These aircraft remained on alert status for a specified number of days, then redeployed back to the United States. The division commander also acted as a representative to the Moroccan Liaison office for the Commander, Sixteenth Air Force.
