Its primary mission was theater troop and logistics transport training. Equipped largely with C-47 Skytrain and later C-46 Commando aircraft, its wings acted as training organization in the United States during World War II, the component groups were then reassigned to deployed overseas Numbered Air Forces worldwide. As a result of the Army Air Forces reorganization after World War II, the Troop Carrier mission was reassigned to the new major commands, and Troop Carrier Command was inactivated on 4 November 1945.
