The 141st Air Refueling Squadron (141 ARS) is a unit of the New Jersey Air National Guard 108th Wing located at McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey. The 141st is currently an "embedded classic associate" with the 305th Air Mobility Wing, flying the Boeing KC-46A Pegasus since 2023.^[1]

The 141st was first organized as the 141st Aero Squadron on 2 January 1918 at Rockwell Field, California. The squadron deployed to France and fought on the Western Front during World War I as a pursuit squadron as part of the American Expeditionary Forces. The unit was demobilized after the war in 1919. The 141st has hereditary ties to the 341st Fighter Squadron, which fought in the Pacific Theater during World War II.

During the Cold War, the 141st was a fighter squadron, operating aircraft including the North American F-86E Sabre, Republic F-105B Thunderchief and McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantom II.
