Following the dissolution of Oseas primary Aggressors squadron, the role of an affordable offensive counter-air asset became all the more vital to OADF Readiness. As a result the 552nd AGRS was reactivated to fill this vital niche.

To even be considered for the Squadron, a pilot must have completed an instructor tour at Fighter Weapons School at Newburg Air Force Base. Following selection,  pilots attend an aggressors school at the squadron Garrison at Day AFB, Before being put on rotation for base visit temporary duty assignments.

While on assignment, pilots will go to Air Combat Command wings to host abbreviated courses on ACM and handling contested airspace; the F-5s they fly being capable of mimicking flight profiles of various adversary aircraft.

Dating back to the 1940s, the Buldoggen had actually been a unit of Osean origin. During economic downturn in the 1930s, many Osean veterans retreated to Nordlands for the better quality of life and economic certainty than they had faced in their homeland. When hostilities broke into open war in 1939, the Nordland crown was ill equipped to refuse the volunteer force he found in his adopted population. Due to its makeup of primarily expatriate Oseans, the “Bulldog” Squadron was operated more as a paramilitary force, then a legitimate arm of the Nordlands Army Aviation Brigade. Nevertheless, armed with Spitfires donated through a foreign Benefactor,  the Bulldogs would help enforce Nordlands sovereignty in the conflict against its aggressive neighbors alongside the rest of The Kingdoms military.

The Units unique culture and sacrifices would be memorialized with the integrated 117 Squadron ‘Buldoggen’ in the newly founded Royal Nordlands Air Force in 1951

Established at Heirelark Air Force Base, the 531st Fighter Training Squadron "Gamblers" is one of the final steps a student pilot must take before they can be considered for further fighter pilot training within the OADF. Not everyone who passes through the gates will succeed, but thanks to the training provided by the men and women of the 531st, those pilots who do pass are some of the best prepared for the trials that come with being a fighter pilot.

Flying the F-5E, pilots learn the basics of BFM, all the way to simulated BVR engagements and complex ACM war games fought against nearby MiG Aggressor Squadrons.

Its a gamble to become a fighter pilot, but for those of the 531st, its one they gladly make every day.
