The United States Air Force's 72d Expeditionary Air Support Operations Squadron is a combat support unit located at an undisclosed location in the Middle East.

The squadron was first activated in June 1969 at Homestead Air Force Base, Florida, when Tactical Air Command organized separate units for its mobile Combat Reporting Posts.

In October, the 4465th was inactivated and transferred its mission, personnel and equipment to the 726th Tactical Control Squadron, which was simultaneously activated.
