The 32nd Air Operations Squadron, nicknamed the Wolfhounds, is an inactive United States Air Force unit. Its last assignment was with 32nd Air Operations Group, based at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. It was inactivated on 1 November 2005. Between 1955 and 1994, the unit was based at Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands, providing air defence on behalf of NATO as a fighter squadron. On 18 July 1958, the USAFE redesignated the unit as the 32nd Tactical Fighter Squadron (32nd TFS),[2] as part of the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing as a result of an Air Forcewide redesignation of tactical air units. In 1959, the 32nd received the signature "Royal", the crown and wreath of the Dutch royal family (the House of Orange) were added to the emblem, giving it its unique look. This unique honor was granted in recognition of the unit's contribution to the defense of The Netherlands and graphically illustrates the 32nd's close ties with the Royal Netherlands Air Force. This designation was brief, however, and the squadron became the 32nd Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (32nd FIS) a year later. On 17 December 1960, the Wolfhounds received their first eight Convair F-102A Delta Daggers.[5] On 1 November 1968, the USAF transferred the 32nd Fighter Interceptor Squadron to the command of Seventeenth Air Force stationed at Sembach Air Base, Germany.
