On 20 June 1942, the 56th (now) Fighter Squadron, took their Bell P-39 Airacobras to Nome, Alaska, where they won a Distinguished Unit Citation for operations against the Japanese in November 1942. In 1943, the 56th FS returned to the ConUS, and were based at Bartow Army Air Base, Florida, where they converted to North American P-51 Mustangs. One year later, on 1 May 1944, the 56th FS was disbanded. Re-constituted and activated at Selfridge AFB, Michigan in November 1952, the 56th (now) Fighter Interceptor Squadron was assigned to the 4708th Air Defense Wing, and equipped with North American F-86F Sabres. In February 1953, the 56th FIS began conversion to F-86D interceptors, and was assigned to the 575th Air Defense Group. On 18 August 1955, under Project ARROW, the 56th FIS designation was transferred from Selfridge AFB to Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, initially under operational control of the 4706th Air Defense Wing, then the 58th Air Division (Air Defense) on 1 March 1956, where the squadron was the primary air defense unit for southwestern Ohio and the research facilities at Wright-Patterson. In the Spring of 1957, the 56th FIS began re-equipping with the North American F-86L Sabre, an improved version of the F-86D which incorporated the Semi Automatic Ground Environment, or SAGE. The unit became proficient with both the F-86L and SAGE, and won an Air Defense Command "A" award for live rocket SURE-FIRE missions in the late summer of 1957. The transition into the F-86L was short-lived however, as the squadron began transition into the "missile-with-a-man-in-it" (the Lockheed F-104A) in May 1958. The 56th FIS was now under operational control of 30th Air Division (Air Defense), before being transferred to the Detroit Air Defense Sector in April 1959. Deactivated at Wright-Patterson on 1 March 1960

It was then taken over by the 82nd FIS from October 1965 until the Siskiyou Alert Facility was closed in July 1971 (the alert function probably ended before the Jul y 1971 facility closure). The 84th FIS moved from Hamilton AFB (San Rafael Airport) to Castle AFB, CA in September 1973 where it provided an Air Defense Alert function. The 84th FIS picked up the alert commitment at George AFB, CA on January 7, 1974 and officially became Detachment 1, 84th FIS at George AFB as of July 1, 1975 – June 30, 1981. The George AFB location is the site attributed with producing the DET 1, 84th FIS insignia. The 84th FIS was redesignated a FITS on July 1, 1981 and ended all of its’ alert operations. George AFB is the only official detachment I’ve seen reference to in any 84th FIS and or Det 1 histories, records, and letters I have gotten over the years. The 84th FIS certainly provided alert aircraft at various locations as back fill, deployment or training operations; although they may have been loosely referred to as a det they weren’t officially one." ( I have altered some of the above verbage ) - -  Detachment One partial History from Veterans/Collectors    - - Det 1 , 84th FIS was at Siskiyou County Airport, Montague, California. (It was also know as Detachment 1, 78th Fighter (Interceptor) Wing)   also based at Hamilton AFB, San Rafael, CA circa 1965 to 1972, flying F101 Voodoo's Det 1 was active at March AFB, CA  circa 1975-78 era (probably longer) Maintained 2 x "ALERT BIRDS" 24-7, probably F-106s DET 1 stationed at Kingsley Field, OR in 1973 and George AFB in 1976 ( If you have more, or different,  info on DET 1,  let me know ) - - - - Squadron partial History Redesignated 84th FIS January 20, 1950 Assigned: 78th Fighter Wing February 1, 1961; 1st Fighter Wing December 31, 1969; 26th Air Division October 1, 1970 Stationed: Hamilton AFB, CA November 24, 1948; Castle AFB, CA September 1, 1973 Aircraft: F-101 1959-1968;  F-106 1968
