320th FMS

The 320th Field Maintenance Squadron (320th FMS) was a support unit assigned to the 320th Bombardment Wing, primarily stationed at Mather Air Force Base, California. Activated during the Cold War, the 320th FMS provided essential aircraft maintenance and logistical support to B-52 Stratofortress bombers and KC-135 Stratotankers, ensuring the wing's strategic readiness. The unit played a vital role in maintaining the operational capability of the wing’s aircraft during critical periods of nuclear deterrence and global reach. With the end of the Cold War and subsequent drawdowns, the 320th FMS was inactivated alongside the 320th Bombardment Wing in the early 1990s.
