1300th MAS

The 1300th Military Airlift Squadron (MAS) was a unit of the United States Air Force, primarily active during the Cold War era. Activated in the 1950s, the squadron was assigned to provide airlift support for personnel, equipment, and cargo, utilizing aircraft such as the C-124 Globemaster II. The 1300th MAS played a key role in worldwide airlift operations, supporting both peacetime missions and contingency operations. The unit’s contributions were essential to the strategic mobility of the United States Air Force until its inactivation and consolidation during later organizational restructuring.
