301 CAMS (SAC)

The 301st Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (CAMS) was a support unit assigned to Strategic Air Command (SAC), primarily stationed at Lockbourne Air Force Base, Ohio. Activated in the early 1960s, the 301 CAMS provided essential maintenance and logistical support for the 301st Bombardment Wing's fleet of B-47 Stratojets and later B-52 Stratofortress bombers and KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft. The squadron played a critical role in ensuring the wing’s readiness during the Cold War, supporting SAC’s nuclear deterrence mission. The unit was inactivated in the 1980s as part of broader Air Force restructuring and the drawdown of SAC forces.
