1400 supply as Scott SAF Base IL

The 1400th Supply Squadron was an essential logistics unit assigned to Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, during the mid-20th century. Activated in the post-World War II era, the squadron’s mission was to provide critical supply chain management, materiel handling, and distribution support to the host units at Scott AFB, including the Military Air Transport Service and later Air Mobility Command. The 1400th played a key role in ensuring operational readiness by managing inventories, shipping, and receiving supplies necessary for both peacetime operations and contingency deployments. As Air Force logistics structures modernized and consolidated, the 1400th Supply Squadron was eventually redesignated or inactivated, with its functions absorbed by successor units at Scott AFB.
