Shortly after its creation, the Army Air Forces Antisubmarine Command, tasked with coordinating U.S. air operations against enemy submarines, reorganized its forces. As part of this reorganization, the squadrons previously under the authority of the 377th Group were reassigned and placed directly under the command of the 25th Antisubmarine Wing.
