Established in 2004 by the Air Force Special Operations Command as part of a re-organization of Air National Guard rescue wings which created separate squadrons for fixed-wing, helicopter and pararescue elements of the 106th Rescue Wing.

The squadron maintains, supports and operates the Sikorsky HH-60G Pave Hawk and HH-60W Jolly Green II helicopters of the 106th Rescue Wing.

It is an integral component of the 106th Operations Group, along with the Lockheed HC-130J Combat King II search and rescue/aerial refueling aircraft of the 102d Rescue Squadron, transporting pararescue personnel of the 103d RQS in their mission.
