27th supply squadron

The 27th Supply Squadron was constituted and activated in 1947 as part of the newly established United States Air Force, assigned to the 27th Fighter Wing at Kearney Army Airfield, Nebraska. Its primary mission was to provide logistical and supply support, ensuring the operational readiness of the Wing’s aircraft and personnel. The squadron played a critical role during the early years of the Cold War, supporting deployments and exercises both in the United States and overseas. Over the decades, the 27th Supply Squadron adapted to evolving logistics technologies and procedures, continuing its legacy of excellence in support of Air Force operations before eventually being redesignated under Air Force logistics restructuring initiatives.
