The 426th Tactical Intelligence Group is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was active as the 426th Reconnaissance Group in 1943, but was disbanded before becoming fully organized. It was reconstituted as a military intelligence unit in 1985, but has not been active since.

History

The 426th Reconnaissance Group was activated at Gainesville Army Air Field, Texas on 1 July 1943. It was apparently never fully organized, although its 45th Reconnaissance Squadron and 47th Liaison Squadron apparently began to receive aircraft. These two squadrons were transferred out of the group on 11 August 1943,[1][2] and the group and its remaining components were disbanded four days later.[3][4][5]

The group was reconstituted in 1983 as the 426th Tactical Intelligence Group, but has not been active since then.[6]
