The group participated in the defeat of Axis forces in Tunisia, the reduction of Pantelleria, and the conquest of Sicily.
The 325th received a Distinguished Unit Citation (DUC) for action over Sardinia on 30 July 1943 when the group,
using diversionary tactics, forced a superior number of enemy planes into the air and destroyed more than half of them.
The group did not fly combat missions from the end of September to mid-December 1943 as the 325th converted to Republic P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft and moved to Italy."
