The 312th was re-designated Bomb Group (Dive) in July 1942 equipped with A-24, A-31, A-36 and P-40’s. Between October and December 1943 the group moved to the South Pacific assigned to the 5th AF where they once again became 312th Bombardment Group (Light) using P-40’s for escort duty in New Guinea. By February 1944 the 312th had been completely re- equipped with the Douglas A-20 Havoc and for the next 10 months attacked airfields, bridges, troops and supply depots. The 312th also took part in amphibious operations on New Guinea and Palau. The 312th were nicknamed the "Roarin' 20's" as they flew the Douglas A-20 Havoc.
