The 5th Air Support Operations Squadron (5 ASOS) is a United States Air Force unit originally constituted in 1942. During World War II, it provided vital air-ground coordination, supporting ground forces in the European Theater. Reactivated in the postwar era, the squadron has since evolved to deliver tactical command and control of air power assets, primarily supporting the Army's I Corps at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. Today, the 5 ASOS continues to train and deploy Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) specialists, ensuring effective integration of air support in joint operations worldwide.
