2nd AACS (Mobile) MATS

The 2nd Airways and Air Communications Service (AACS) Squadron (Mobile) was activated in the late 1940s under the Military Air Transport Service (MATS) of the United States Air Force. Its primary mission was to provide rapidly deployable air traffic control and communications support for MATS operations worldwide, ensuring the safe movement of personnel and materiel during the early Cold War era. The squadron specialized in setting up mobile communications networks, often deploying to remote or austere locations in support of airlift missions. Throughout its service, the 2nd AACS (Mobile) played a vital role in enhancing the global reach and operational effectiveness of the U.S. Air Force’s air transport capability.
