305th OMS

The 305th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (OMS) was an integral support unit of the United States Air Force, primarily assigned to the 305th Air Mobility Wing. Activated during the Cold War era, the 305th OMS was responsible for the routine and specialized maintenance of aircraft such as the KC-135 Stratotanker and C-141 Starlifter at bases including Grissom Air Force Base and McGuire Air Force Base. The squadron played a crucial role in ensuring the operational readiness of strategic airlift and aerial refueling missions during major conflicts and peacetime operations. As part of Air Force-wide organizational changes in the early 1990s, the 305th OMS was inactivated or redesignated, with its responsibilities integrated into consolidated maintenance groups.
