2nd OMS

The 2nd Organizational Maintenance Squadron (2nd OMS) was an integral unit of the United States Air Force, primarily responsible for the maintenance and readiness of aircraft assigned to the 2nd Bomb Wing at Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana. Established during the Cold War era, the 2nd OMS played a crucial role in supporting strategic bomber operations, particularly for the B-52 Stratofortress fleet. The squadron provided comprehensive organizational-level maintenance, ensuring aircraft were mission-ready for both training and real-world deterrence missions. The 2nd OMS continued its vital support work until it was inactivated or reorganized as part of broader USAF restructuring efforts in the late 20th century.
