1611 FMS

The 1611th Field Maintenance Squadron (1611 FMS) was a United States Air Force unit tasked with providing maintenance and logistical support for assigned aircraft and equipment. Activated during the Cold War era, the squadron operated primarily at McGuire Air Force Base, New Jersey, in support of airlift and transport operations. The 1611 FMS played a crucial role in ensuring aircraft readiness and mission capability for Military Air Transport Service (MATS) and later Military Airlift Command (MAC) missions. The squadron was eventually inactivated as part of broader structural changes within the Air Force’s maintenance and logistics organizations.
