Despite sharing a designation with another OADF Squadron, the history and Lineage of the 545th Fighter Squadron actually ties into the 1125th Tactical Fighter Squadron established in the 1980s and serving until right after the 1995 Belkan War.Flying F-4G Phantoms in the ‘Wild Weasel’ role, the squadron would be stood down due to sequestration following the war.
Following the 2010 Circum-Pacific War however, the OADF Air Combat Command saw a need for a ‘quick reaction force’ that could be rapidly deployed to support Osean operations world-wide when Local forces may not have the capabilities. Along with the 65th FS And 94th TFS, the Dragons would be assigned to the 57th Fighter Wing out of Owens Air Force Base to provide vital air superiority anywhere within 48 hours.
The first combat the Wing would see would be during the 2019 Lighthouse War, where 545th FS aircraft would conduct SEAD Missions in the southern part of the continent, supporting IUN-PKF Air efforts in the region.
