Established in 1950 as the 195th Fighter Interceptor squadron, the unit would not become the Tanker force it would be known for today until the mid 1960s, when they traded their Mach 2 capable F-104 Starfighters for the far slower four engine C-97 Stratofreighter, and would assist in moving Osean personnel around the world. In 1972, the squadron would change aircraft and missions yet again, this time in the form of the KC-135A Stratotanker. The 195th Air Refueling Squadron has provided a critical backbone to Osean air operations, acting as one of the few Nuclear Mission Capable squadrons until the Osean total disarmament in 2000 as well as flying combat sorties during the 1995 Belkan War and 1997 Usean Coup Detat. During Ulysses planetfall, the 195th was dispatched to transport medical aid to affected areas, and aid in the evacuation of Oseans deployed abroad during the disaster. As one of the last KC-135 operators within the OADF, its expected the unit will receive the KC-46 by 2030.
