After the end of World War II the squadron remained in the Far East, serving in the occupation forces in Japan.

It was still in Japan as the 548th Reconnaissance Technical Squadron, when the Korean War began in June 1950.

Its most recent activation at Beale Air Force Base took place in October 2003.

The mission of the 548 ISRG is to operate and maintain a $1B AN/GSQ-272 "Sentinel" weapon system (also known as Distributed Ground Station or DGS), and provide combatant commanders with processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED) of actionable intelligence data collected by U-2, MQ-1, MQ-9 and RQ-4 aircraft and other platforms as required.
