[1] In October 1943 the squadron moved with its parent 2d Group to Will Rogers Field, Oklahoma, where the Third Air Force Photographic Unit Training Center was located.

[4] However, the Army Air Forces was finding that units like the 7th, based on rigid tables of organization were not well suited to the training mission.

Accordingly, it reorganized its training activities into a functional system in which each base was organized into a separate numbered unit.

[6] The 7th used light aircraft to provide courier and transportation services for personnel of the American occupation forces until it moved to the United States in June 1947.

[1] The unit was again activated as the 7th Liaison Flight at Albrook Air Force Base, Panama Canal Zone in October 1949.

There, it provided operations and logistical support for the Inter-American Geodetic Survey in the Panama Canal Zone.

As part of the withdrawal, the Helio U-10 Courier flight of the 7th Special Operations Squadron at Ramstein Air Base, Germany was used to organize the third predecessor of the squadron,[citation needed] the 7th Special Operations Flight at Otis Air Force Base, Massachusetts in July 1969.
