1611th MATS
U.S. Air Force
The 1611th Military Air Transport Squadron (MATS) was a unit of the United States Air Force under the Military Air Transport Service. Activated in the early 1950s, the squadron was based primarily at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. Its primary mission was to provide strategic airlift and logistical support, transporting personnel, cargo, and equipment across the Atlantic and to various overseas locations during the Cold War era. The 1611th MATS played a vital role in supporting U.S. military operations and humanitarian missions until it was inactivated and its functions absorbed into other airlift units as part of Air Force reorganization in the 1960s.
