Based out of the state of Braunstein, the 285th was established in 1993 flying the F-20A Tigershark.
The Unit would first see action during the opening hours of the Belkan War, where due to their close proximity to the frontline, their F-20s were some of the first on station to support besieged Osean Forces.
The squadron would help hold the line for two days until OADF reinforcements arrived in enough strength to relieve the unit.
In 2007, the squadrons F-20s would be retired in favor of the JF-17C fighter, which they still fly out of Robbins AFB.
