On 23 March 1953, the 432d Tactical Reconnaissance Group was re-activated at Shaw.
The group's mission at Shaw AFB was to assume the reconnaissance training mission that was handled previously by the 363d TRW.
When elevated to the 432d Tactical Reconnaissance Wing on 8 February 1958, the wing operated the USAF Advanced Flying Training School, Tactical Reconnaissance.
 The 432d TRW and 363d TRW both were under the 837th Air Division, headquartered at Shaw.

The group initially conducted training with two squadrons (20th, 29th) flying the Republic RF-84F "Thunderflash" and two squadrons (41st, 43d) flying the Martin RB-57A "Canberra".
 In 1957, the group upgraded the 20th and 29th to the McDonnell RF-101C "Voodoo", and the 41st and 43d transitioned to the electronic warfare EB-66C Destroyer.

In a budgetary move, the 432d TRW was inactivated on 8 April 1959.
 The RF-101C equipped 17th and 18th TRSs were deployed to NATO, being reassigned to the 66th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing at Laon-Couvron Air Base, France.
