1001 Fld. Maint Sq

**1001 Field Maintenance Squadron (1001 Fld. Maint Sq)** was an essential support unit within the United States Air Force, primarily active during the Cold War era. The squadron was responsible for providing intermediate-level maintenance and repair services for aircraft and ground equipment, ensuring operational readiness for assigned flying units. Based at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, the 1001 Fld. Maint Sq supported the 1001st Air Base Wing and played a crucial logistical role in the headquarters' airlift and VIP transport missions. The unit's expertise contributed significantly to the reliability and effectiveness of aircraft assigned to the National Capital Region until its eventual inactivation during Air Force reorganizations in the late 1980s.
