2nd CAMS

The 2nd Component Repair Squadron (2nd CAMS), also known as the 2nd Component Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, was a United States Air Force unit responsible for performing intermediate-level maintenance on aircraft components, avionics, and support equipment. Activated during the Cold War era, the squadron was typically assigned to support bomber and tanker units, such as those flying the B-52 Stratofortress and KC-135 Stratotanker, at major Strategic Air Command (SAC) bases. The 2nd CAMS played a vital role in sustaining aircraft readiness and mission capability, especially during periods of heightened alert. The squadron was eventually inactivated or restructured as part of broader USAF maintenance reorganization in the 1990s, with its legacy continuing in successor maintenance groups.
