Description: 502d AIR OPERATIONS GROUP COMMAND CONTROL FO THE AIR, SPACE, AND INFORMATION OPERATIONS IN THE PACIFIC 1.75" COIN. HISTORY: At the beginning of the Korean War, the only tactical control group was the 502d at Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina. To meet the emergency in the theater, Fifth Air Force organized the 6132d Tactical Air Control Squadron, which established a full-scale Tactical Air Control Center atTaegu Air Base, South Korea on 23 July 1950.Less than three months later, the 502nd and its subordinate squadrons moved from Pope to Korea. In October 1950 the 502d replaced the 6132nd in the mission of directing tactical air operations in Korea. Through its 605th Tactical Control Squadron, the group operated the Tactical Air Control Center and worked with the US Army in a Joint Operations Center. The group's two aircraft control and warning squadrons operated Tactical Air Direction Centers, which used stationary and mobile radar and communications equipment to guide aircraft on close air support missions. In November a third aircraft control and warning squadron was activated to reinforce the group.
