The 162nd Tactical Fighter Group (162 TFG) is a unit of the Arizona Air National Guard, stationed at Morris Air National Guard Base, Arizona. The primary mission of the 162nd TFG is education and flight training of international F-4E Phantom II aircrews. In addition, the wing performs air defense and homeland protection of the United States. As part of Tactical Air Command, the 162nd TFTG's mission was producing combat-ready pilots for the F-100 aircraft. The 152nd TFTS equipped with the F-100C Super Sabre, and the group graduated their first students in 1970. Shortly afterward, the unit formed the Air National Guard Fighter Weapons School in Tucson.
In 1977, the group received F-4E Phantom II fighter aircraft and replaced the F-100s. The unit received its second Air Force Outstanding Unit Award for successfully continuing to train F-100 students while completing the most challenging conversion in the unit's history. That tasking was to convert from F-100s to F-4E.
