The 482d Operations Group (482 OG) is a United States Air Force Reserve unit assigned to the 482d Fighter Wing. It is stationed at Homestead Joint Air Reserve Base, Florida.
During World War II, the group's predecessor unit, the 482d Bombardment Group was the only Eighth Air Force RADAR-equipped pathfinder heavy bomber group. Its B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator aircraft were equipped with first generation RADAR to guide operational bombardment groups to targets obscured by cloud cover over Occupied Europe and Nazi Germany.
