2199th CPUSS

The 2199th Communications Processing and Support Squadron (CPUSS) was a United States Air Force unit established during the height of the Cold War to provide critical communications and data processing support for strategic operations. Activated in the late 1960s, the unit specialized in secure message handling, encryption, and relay services for both tactical and strategic command elements. Stationed at several key bases throughout its service, the 2199th CPUSS played a vital role in ensuring uninterrupted command and control communications during times of heightened tension. The squadron was eventually inactivated as technological advancements and organizational restructuring led to the consolidation of Air Force communications units in the 1980s.
