The 315th Weapons Squadron is a United States Air Force unit, assigned to the USAF Weapons School at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. It is responsible for training a tactics development for the Air Force's intercontinental ballistic missile force. From 1958 through the early 1990s, it was the primary missile training activity for Strategic Air Command as the 4315th Combat Crew Training Squadron.
Established as the first USAF intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) training squadron at Cooke Air Force Base California in May 1958. As the 4315th Student Squadron, and later 4315th Combat Crew Training Squadron, the unit was responsible for implementing the Strategic Air Command missile combat crew training program. All USAF ICBM crew personnel (Atlas, Titan I, Titan II, Minuteman I,II, II) up to the inactivation of the 4315th in July 1993 were trained at one time or another by this unit. In 1993, Air Education and Training Command assumed the crew training role from Air Combat Command and activated the 381st Training Group to replace the 4315th.[2]
Re-established as the 315th Weapons Squadron as part of the USAF Weapons School at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada in 2012. Provides the ICBM Weapons Instructor Course.[3]
