After activation in 1954, until Apr 1955, the division served as a holding unit at Westover AFB, Massachusetts, for personnel of the Eighth Air Force who moved to the base as part of a transfer of Eighth’s headquarters from Carswell AFB, Tex. The division was activated under the [[Air Research and Development Command]] in Apr 1957 as the first division-level organization controlling intermediate range and intercontinental ballistic missiles. It became an operational component of Strategic Air Command (SAC) in Jan 1958, and began operational testing of missile systems, supporting missile launchings by SAC and other agencies, and training SAC missilemen.

The 3rd Air Division moved to Guam and gained most of the resources of the former Far East Air Forces Bomber Command (Provisional) in Jun 1954. The division exercised operational control over numerous deployed tactical components, since all SAC operations in the region came under its jurisdiction. It also supported air refueling needs of all United States military agencies operating in or transiting the region. In mid 1958, the deployment of entire SAC wings to Guam was replaced by an "Air Mail" alert program, whereby several B 47 wings in the U.S. maintained a specific number of B 47s and KC 97s at Andersen AFB to meet both routine and alert requirements. In April 1964, the division switched from "Air Mail" B 47/KC 97 to "Reflex" B 52/KC 135 alert forces, again with aircraft and crews furnished in deployed status from U.S. based SAC wings. In 1965, it became heavily involved in Arc Light and Young Tiger operations in the Far East and SEA. Strategic Air Command wings in the U.S. furnished the aircrews and aircraft for these operations. The first elements of the 3d Air Division to enter combat in SEA were the tanker forces under Young Tiger. In June 1965, Arc Light B 52s struck suspected Viet Cong targets in South Vietnam, commencing the first SAC combat missions. B 52s began striking targets in North Vietnam on [[11 April]] [[1966]]; the initial attack against the Mu Gia Pass marked the largest single bomber raid since World War II. By late 1969, most Arc Light operations staged from U Tapao, Thailand, while others were mounted from Kadena and Andersen. Andersen AFB remained the primary base for deployed forces from the U.S., however, and aircraft and crews were sent from Guam to Kadena and U Tapao for combat missions. On [[1 April]] [[1970]] the 3d Air Division's resources passed to Eighth Air Force Effective [[1 January]] [[1975]], 3 Air Division again controlled all SAC operations in the Western Pacific, Far East, and Southeast Asia. Additionally, it assumed responsibility for air refueling support of all U.S. military forces in these areas. During Persian Gulf operations in late 1990 through early 1991, it tasked and supported numerous sorties supporting the deployment in the Pacific Area of Responsibility (AOR).

Activated in England in 1951 as part of the Strategic Air Command, the 7th Air Division controlled deployed bombardment and reconnaissance forces between 1951 and 1965. The division participated in alerts, exercises, and operational readiness inspections, evaluations, and intensive training programs to provide an advanced combat-ready force. While based in the United Kingdom, the 7th assumed responsibility for air base construction and improvement, which included building complexes to accommodate bombers, fighters, and special functions such as communications, weapons storage, aircraft parts, and navigational aids. The division was discontinued on [[30 June]] [[1965]].After reactivation on [[1 July]] [[1978]], the 7th Air Division assured that assigned units trained and were prepared to conduct strategic warfare according to the Emergency War Order. It also assured that assigned units could conduct strategic reconnaissance and air refueling, and function as the nucleus of a SAC advanced echelon in event of contingency operations.

Later, these units received B-52 and KC-135 aircraft and trained in global strategic bombardment and air refueling operations. In early 1960, some assigned units evaluated various models of the B-58 aircraft, while at the same time operating a combat crew training school to train SAC aircrews in the B-58 weapons system. Following evaluation, these assigned units utilized the B-58 aircraft in the strategic bombardment role. In Jan 1967, the division began deploying B-52 aircraft and aircrews to Southeast Asia for combat operations. The 19th continued deploying aircraft and aircrews to Southeast Asia until the American participation ceased in 1973.
