30th MAS

The 30th Military Airlift Squadron (30th MAS) was an airlift unit of the United States Air Force, activated during the Cold War era. Initially constituted as the 30th Air Transport Squadron in 1952, it operated primarily out of various bases in the United States and Europe, providing strategic airlift capabilities. The unit flew aircraft such as the C-124 Globemaster II, supporting troop movements, cargo delivery, and humanitarian missions worldwide. The 30th MAS played a significant role in reinforcing U.S. and NATO commitments before being inactivated in the late 1960s as the Air Force reorganized its airlift structure.
