Activated as the 10th Airborne Command Control Squadron on 1 Jan 1970. Subsequently redesignated 10th Airborne Command and Control Squadron (precise date unknown, but likely around the same time the 9 ACCS received its "and" - 15 Jul 1970). Inactivated 31 Jan 1992.

For reasons unknown to this collector, the ultramarine blue field and scroll are white on this version of the patch. (Is it just coincidence that the 9 ACCS also had a white version of their patch?)
