102nd MSG Recent Stories

Background

The 102nd Medical Group came to life in the early 1950's, formerly called the 102d Tactical (TAC) Hospital at Logan International Airport. This "TAC Hospital" embryo was staffed with a handful of medical technicians and officers, while conducting medical functions within the confines of five small rooms. The 102d TAC Hospital was immersed in the Berlin call-up and absorbed personnel and the equipment from the 104th and the 174th Tactical Hospitals and established a Class B Dispensary at a bare base facility at Phalsbourg Air Base, France. The 102d TAC Hospital acquired for the first time War Readiness Material and through self-help, training, and much perseverance, equipped and manned a 36 Bed Air Transportable Hospital. In late 1973, the 102d TAC Hospital relocated to Cape Cod and became the 102d USAF Clinic, ultimately earning the THEODORE C. MARRS AWARD for Outstanding ANG Medical Unit of the Year in October 1982. In October of 1990, the 102d USAF Clinic was deployed to Operation Desert Shield for annual field training to support Holloman AFB, New Mexico, by providing manning assistance to the 846th USAF Hospital. In February 1991, the 102d USAF Clinic was activated for Operation Desert Storm and was sent to support Malcolm Grow Medical Center, Andrews AFB, Maryland. In line with the overall realignment of roles and missions, the 102d USAF Clinic was renamed to the 102d Medical Squadron in October 1994. During 1995, the squadron earned an “Excellent” rating on its Health Services Inspection. In 1996, the squadron moved into a brand-new building specifically designed for the overall medical mission. In July 1998, the medical squadron went on an overseas tour to Spangdahlem, Germany for two weeks of intensive in-hospital training. 

Base Support During 9/11
During the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the unit provided essential base support. This critical period saw the unit maintaining operations, supporting security measures, and ensuring readiness while the United States was under heightened alert. The 102 MDG’s dedication to maintain the necessary medical requirements during OPERATION NOBLE EAGLE, played a significant role in maintaining homeland stability in a time of uncertainty. 

Transition to the 102 MDG in Late 2004
In late 2004, what was known as the 102 Medical Squadron, expanded its mission and capabilities, by elevating from a Squadron to a Group. This transition marked an important milestone in the unit’s growth, allowing for more personnel, resources, and a broader operational reach. This development enabled the Group to take on more complex missions and enhance the MDG’s strategic value.

Boston Marathon Support Since 2014
The 102 MDG has provided consistent support for the Boston Marathon every year since 2014, with the exception of 2021. Our role in supporting the marathon includes logistical and medical support functions, contributing to the smooth operation of this iconic event. Since its inception, Detachment members serve in-place to provide medical response in the event of a disastrous occurrence. The MDG’s commitment to this event reflects its readiness and community engagement.

Medical Facility Annual Training (MFAT) – Tripler Army Medical Center, HI 2014
In 2014, the unit supported the Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii as part of an MFAT opportunity. This mission highlighted the unit’s medical and logistical capabilities in assisting one of the key military medical facilities in the Pacific region, ensuring quality healthcare services during a time of increased demand.

Detachment Formation – January 1, 2016
The 102 MDG formally established a Detachment 1 on January 1, 2016. This restructuring reflected the group’s evolving role and growing operational capacity, enhancing its ability to support missions and take on more responsibilities domestically as a 47 Member Medical Element to support the Region 1, Homeland Response Force. 

Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) – Lead Unit in 2016 and 2017
The unit led multiple Medical Innovative Readiness Training (IRTs) in 2016 to Natchez, Mississippi and in 2017 to the medically underserved communities in Louisiana and Crystal Springs, Mississippi, by demonstrating its expertise and readiness to respond and help communities in need. In addition to leading these teams, the unit has also frequently volunteered to fill in for other missions in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Columbus, GA, and Hoopa, CA, delivering joint training opportunities to increase deployment readiness. These IRT missions underscored the unit’s ability to adapt quickly and provide crucial medical support, where IRT provides key services (health care, construction, transportation, and cybersecurity) with lasting benefits for our American communities.

COVID-19 Response – Task Force Raptor 2020
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the 102 MDG played a critical role as part of Task Force Raptor in 2020. The group deployed 80 personnel to support 100 nursing homes and facilities, treating over 8,000 patients. Additionally, the MDG led efforts in COVID testing, administering tests to over 100,000 students and teachers across 14 school districts at 23 various locations. The MDG also supported 12 vaccination sites, administering 275,000 vaccinations. Our contributions were critical in managing the public health crisis and supporting our military members and the community during a challenging time.

Medical Facility Annual Training (MFAT) – San Diego, CA, March 2024
The 102 MDG accomplished an effective MFAT tour at Navy Medical Center in San Diego, California, 17-31 March 2024. The training provided our Airmen the opportunity to work alongside active-duty members for two weeks in a Military Treatment Facility (MTF) to accomplish specific Comprehensive Medical Readiness Program (CMRP) training requirements.

Medic Rodeo at Cannon AFB, New Mexico, August 2024
The 102 MDG positively competed in the 2024 Air Force Medic Rodeo at Cannon AFB, New Mexico, August 2024. The team was selected as the sole Air National Guard team to compete against 18 other teams from across the Total Force to participate in specific training scenarios intended to give them tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) training. Teams experienced a variety of situations and tasks by responding to scenarios such as car accidents and choking incidents. Additionally, they exercised their medical skills on simulated burn patients, traumatic brain injuries, and amputations. The 102 MDG finished in 7the place and gained valuable experience to relay to the Group.
