3422 StuSq (ATC), Lowry AFB, CO

The 3422nd Student Squadron (Air Training Command), stationed at Lowry Air Force Base, Colorado, was activated during the mid-20th century to support the United States Air Force’s technical training mission. As part of the Air Training Command, the unit was responsible for the organization, administration, and welfare of airmen undergoing specialized technical instruction, particularly in munitions, electronics, and missile systems. Throughout its tenure at Lowry AFB, the 3422 StuSq played a critical role in preparing generations of Air Force personnel for operational assignments during the Cold War era. The squadron was eventually inactivated as Lowry AFB’s training mission was realigned and the base itself closed in the 1990s.
