Batavia, Java, 3 June 1945; they flew in formation from Palawan to Batavia and return to cover a distance of 3000 statute miles, in 18 hours and 40 minutes.

The 868th was attached to Air Task Force, 13, Provisional for operational control and further attached to Detachment 2 of the 6200th Air Base Wing, which was also known as the "Tainan Air Base Group" for administrative and logistical support. The support unit went through renumbering almost as often as the missile squadrons and on 18 August 1958, the detachment was replaced by the 6214th Air Base Group.
