3380th CME

The 3380th Crew Maintenance Squadron (CME) was an integral unit of the United States Air Force, primarily stationed at Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi. Established in the mid-20th century, its primary mission was to provide technical training and maintenance support for various USAF aircraft and systems. The unit played a crucial role in training airmen in electronics and avionics specialties, especially during the Cold War era. Over time, the 3380th CME contributed significantly to the readiness and effectiveness of the Air Force’s maintenance personnel before being inactivated or reorganized during later force structure changes.
