14th MAS

The 14th Military Airlift Squadron (14th MAS) was a unit of the United States Air Force that played a crucial role in strategic airlift operations during the Cold War. Initially activated during World War II, the squadron was re-designated several times before becoming the 14th MAS in the 1960s under the Military Airlift Command. Equipped primarily with C-141 Starlifter aircraft, the 14th MAS was responsible for transporting troops, equipment, and supplies to conflict zones and support areas worldwide. The squadron earned recognition for its performance during major operations, including the Vietnam War, before its eventual inactivation as part of force restructuring.
