Founded in December 1993 at the Tennessee Army National Guard armory in Paris, the squadron constructed its own facility on the far end of the airport in 1995, opposite the terminal, at the Grant Grissom Headquarters Building.

The building was dedicated in 2001 for Cadet Senior Airman Richard Grant Grissom, who was killed in a vehicular accident in Murray, Kentucky on September 10, 1999. The Squadron was 2001 Squadron of Merit, 2004 Squadron of Merit, and 2003 Tennessee Wing Squadron of the Year.
