[1] The 254th Combat Communications Group's state mission is to provide ready forces to the state of Texas during local or statewide emergencies to protect life and property, and to preserve peace, order, and public safety.

The 254 CCG also provides the Adjutant General with voice and data capabilities in austere environments.

It has provided direct support to federal operations by deploying personnel to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait.

The Group was instrumental in supporting Space Shuttle launches in conjunction with Operation Noble Eagle and moving the 624th Operations Center from Barksdale Air Force Base to Joint Base San Antonio.

More recently, the group and its aligned squadrons supported United States Air Forces in Europe in multiple exercises as part of the European Reassurance Initiative.
