1401st FMS

The 1401st Field Maintenance Squadron (FMS) was a United States Air Force unit responsible for providing comprehensive maintenance support to assigned aircraft and equipment. Activated during the Cold War era, the 1401st FMS played a crucial role in ensuring the operational readiness of aircraft stationed at its host base, often supporting airlift and logistical missions. The squadron's skilled personnel performed inspections, repairs, and modifications to a variety of airframes and systems, contributing to the sustained effectiveness of U.S. Air Force operations. Over the years, the 1401st FMS earned recognition for its technical proficiency and dedication before eventual inactivation or restructuring as part of broader organizational changes.
