The 141st Operations Group is a unit of the Washington Air National Guard, stationed at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington. If activated to federal service, the group is gained by Air Mobility Command (AMC). As a result of Base Realignment and Closure action, the group no longer has aircraft assigned and is a associate squadron sharing KC-135R aircraft with AMC's 92d Air Refueling Wing at Fairchild.

The group was first organized at Geiger Field, Washington in 1960 as the 141st Fighter Group. It trained for air defense until 1976, when it was replaced by the 141st Air Refueling Wing, while its operational and support elements moved to Fairchild. It was redesignated the 141st Operations Group and reactivated when the 141st Wing reorganized under the Objective Wing reorganization. The group's 116th Air Refueling Squadron was first organized during World War I as the 116th Aero Squadron, and is one of the 29 squadrons of the United States Army National Guard formed before World War II.
