The 773d Airlift Squadron is one of the oldest airlift squadrons in existence today. It historically calls itself the "Fleagles" and is assigned to the 910th Airlift Wing (Air Force Reserve Command), Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Vienna, Ohio. The unit flies the C-130 H2 aircraft.

The 773 AS was originally designated as Bombardment Squadron (Heavy), flying the B-17 Flying Fortress bomber. Initially activated at Geiger Field, Washington, on 1 August 1943, the squadron has since moved to various locales around the world.

Then on 1 April 1995, with the Reserve Forces building, the Department of Defense reactivated the 773d at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, joining the 910th Airlift Wing and the 757th Airlift Squadron. Since that time the 773d has flown numerous humanitarian missions from Europe to the former Yugoslavia. Delivering peacekeeping forces, food, and medicines to aid the people of the region. The 773d also continues the rotational airlift requirement for Central and South America, Southeast Asia and the Far East.
