The group changed missions again, becoming a logistics unit when activated in 2006 as part of a major reorganization of Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC).

[6] The group was assigned the first Army Air Forces (AAF) squadron expressly designated for dive bombing.

At the same time, the 261st AAF Base Unit (Combat Crew Training School, Fighter) took over the personnel, equipment and mission of the squadrons at Abilene.

During its only 2-week summer encampment (12–26 June 1950), the group had only four pilots capable of flying the 52d's North American F-82 Twin Mustangs provided for training the 84th.

The 84th Group was ordered to active service on 1 June 1951, inactivated the next day, and its few people became "fillers" for the 52d Wing or, if there was no vacancy in the 52d, for other USAF units.

[17] Both squadrons flew radar equipped and Mighty Mouse rocket armed North American F-86 Sabres.

It was assigned several support organizations to perform its host duties, including communications, base operations, law enforcement, housing and food services.
