319th Abn Msl Maint Sq (sac)

The 319th Airborne Missile Maintenance Squadron (319th ABN Msl Maint Sq) was an integral unit of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the Cold War era. Activated in the 1950s, the squadron was responsible for the maintenance, storage, and readiness of nuclear-tipped missiles, supporting SAC's strategic deterrence mission. The unit played a crucial role in ensuring the operational reliability of airborne missile systems, working closely with bomber wings to maintain the United States' nuclear triad. The squadron was eventually inactivated as missile technology evolved and SAC underwent organizational changes in the 1960s and 1970s.
