1945th AACS (MATS)

The 1945th Army Airways Communications System (AACS) Squadron was an integral unit under the Military Air Transport Service (MATS) during the post-World War II era. Activated in the late 1940s, the squadron was tasked with providing vital air-to-ground communications, navigation aids, and weather information to support global airlift and transport operations. Stationed at various strategic locations, the 1945th AACS contributed significantly to the safe and efficient movement of military aircraft during the early Cold War period. The unit’s efforts enhanced MATS' capabilities, ensuring robust command and control across the rapidly expanding network of U.S. air bases worldwide.
