The 50th Regional Support Group is a unit of the Florida National Guard.
The 50th Area Support Group was constituted on 5 July 1946 in the Florida National Guard as Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 211th Infantry, an element of the 51st Infantry Division. It was federally recognized on 17 December 1946 at Miami. It consolidated on 15 April 1959 with the Service Company, 211th Infantry (organized and Federally recognized on 15 April 1947 at Miami), and the consolidated unit was reorganized and redesignated as the Combat Support Company, 1st Battle Group, 211th Infantry.
It converted and was redesignated on 15 April 1963 as Headquarters and Headquarters Battery 164th Artillery Group, and was relieved from assignment to the 51st Infantry Division. it consolidated on 1 May 1963 with Brigade Headquarters, 55th Operational Headquarters, and the consolidated unit was designated as Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 164th Artillery Group.
An SSI for the 227th Field Artillery Group was approved on 19 January 1974.[1] The 227th FAG had been created through the reorganization and redesignation of the 164th Artillery Group on 3 January 1972. The Brigade was formed on 9 May 1978 and was active until 1 October 1988 when it was redesignated as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 50th Support Group; the insignia ceased to be worn in 1993. The 227th Field Artillery Brigade was inactivated in 1993. "It was headquartered in Brandon, Florida at the time of its inactivation."
Since 1988, the 50th Support Group had been stationed at the Homestead Armory, located on Homestead Air Reserve Base, Florida.[2] Originally designated as the 50th Support Group, the unit adopted its current name in 2009.[3] The 50th Support Group was reorganized from the 227th Field Artillery Brigade which was formed in May 1978.
In August of 2024 the 50th RSG was activated in response to Hurricane Debby.[4]
