1501th Civil Engineering Squadron

The 1501st Civil Engineering Squadron was a support unit of the United States Air Force, originally activated under the 1501st Air Transport Wing at Travis Air Force Base, California. Established in the early 1950s, the squadron provided essential civil engineering services, including construction, maintenance, and repair of base facilities and infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness for airlift missions. Throughout its active years, the 1501th played a crucial role in supporting both domestic and overseas operations during the Cold War era. The unit was inactivated in the late 1960s, as part of a broader Air Force reorganization and consolidation of support units.
