100th Organinzational Maintenance Squadron SAC

The **100th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (OMS)** was a support unit assigned to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) under the 100th Bombardment Wing. Activated during the Cold War era, the squadron was responsible for organizational-level maintenance of the wing’s aircraft, primarily B-47 Stratojets and later KC-135 Stratotankers, at Beale Air Force Base, California. Its mission included routine inspections, servicing, and repairs crucial for maintaining the high readiness levels required for SAC's nuclear deterrent posture. The 100th OMS played a vital role in ensuring the operational effectiveness and rapid deployment capabilities of SAC’s bomber and tanker fleet until the unit's inactivation in the early 1970s as part of the Air Force's post-Vietnam War realignment.
