History

The 225 CBCS was initially organized in March 1953 as the 225th Radio Relay Squadron, in Greenville, Mississippi, Mississippi, as part of the Mississippi Air National Guard. The unit was formally organized on 18 June 1954, and was eventually transferred to the Alabama Air National Guard and relocated to Gadsden. On 22 February 1971, an element of the 225th was divested and reorganized as the Headquarters, 226th Mobile Communications Group. (The 226th eventually became the 226th Combat Communications Group.) The new Group was co-located on Martin Air National Guard Station with the 225th. On 1 October 1960, the 225 RRS was realigned under the Military Air Transport Service. The 226 CCG headquarters relocated to Abston Air National Guard Station in February 1996. The 225 CBCS was inactivated in April 2008.

gollark: If you could buy Raspberry Pis, which you can't, a vaguely working solution might be a bunch of those with the NoIR camera and some IR LEDs.
gollark: Raw video's really high-bitrate. You'd need to encode it or something, which requires at least some software.
gollark: Oh yes, just push video over USB, that would* work.
gollark: I doubt it.
gollark: Are you going to wire them all to HDMI inputs or something like that?
