It was inactivated on 16 March 2020 and last located at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, with its responsibilities transferred to the newly activated 616th Operations Center.

History

On 20 August 2009, the Secretary of the Air Force issued a letter announcing the re-alignment of Air Force Cyberspace activities. The letter announced the inactivation of the 608th Air Force Network Operations Center, and activation of the 624th Operations Center. In addition, the new 624th Operations Center would report to Twenty-Fourth Air Force, Air Force Space Command (a change of reporting from Eighth Air Force, Air Combat Command).

A new emblem for the unit was posted to the website of The Institute of Heraldry on 23 April 2012.

The 624th Operations Center was inactivated on 16 March 2020 alongside the 625th Operations Center in a ceremony at Joint Base San Antonio that also activated the newly formed 616th Operations Center, tasked to take over the responsibilities of the two inactivated units.
