12th AFDS

The 12th Air Force Data Systems Squadron (12th AFDS) was a United States Air Force unit responsible for providing data processing and automation support to the 12th Air Force. Activated during the late Cold War era, the squadron facilitated command and control through advanced computer systems and communications infrastructure. Stationed primarily at Bergstrom Air Force Base, Texas, the 12th AFDS played a crucial role in enhancing operational readiness and mission planning for tactical air operations. The unit was eventually inactivated as Air Force data management functions were consolidated and modernized in the 1990s.
