1550 OMS

The 1550th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (OMS) was a United States Air Force unit assigned to the Military Airlift Command. Activated in the early 1970s at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico, the squadron was responsible for providing comprehensive maintenance support for the base’s specialized aircraft, including search and rescue and training platforms. The 1550 OMS played a crucial role in ensuring the operational readiness of air assets used by the 1550th Combat Crew Training Wing. The squadron was eventually inactivated in the late 1980s as part of broader Air Force restructuring and consolidation efforts.
