2192 Comm Sq, Loring AFB, Maine

The 2192nd Communications Squadron (Comm Sq) was activated at Loring Air Force Base, Maine, during the Cold War era to provide vital communications support to the Strategic Air Command’s (SAC) bomber and tanker operations. Tasked with maintaining and operating secure communications networks, the squadron ensured uninterrupted command and control links between Loring AFB and higher headquarters. Throughout its tenure, the 2192 Comm Sq adapted to evolving technologies, supporting critical missions during periods of heightened nuclear alert. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of force reductions and the closure of Loring AFB in the early 1990s.
