History
The 25th Antisubmarine Wing was activated in November 1942 to combat German U-Boats in the coastal waters of the United States. The wing's tactical area of responsibility ranged from Labrador south along the Atlantic Coast to the Georgia/Florida border and seaward to approximately 100 miles from coastline. The wing was disbanded in 15 October 1943 when irs mission was transferred to United States Navy. Most of the wing's components were transferred to Second Air Force where many of them became cadres for newly forming bombardment groups.
In 1985 the wing was reconstituted as the 525th Combat Crew Training Group, but has never been active since then.
