34th Water Transport Squadron

The 34th Water Transport Squadron was established in 1942 to provide vital maritime logistics support during World War II. Operating primarily in the Pacific Theater, the squadron transported troops, equipment, and supplies between island bases under challenging combat conditions. Post-war, the unit continued its service, supporting occupation forces in Japan and later participating in Korean War logistics operations. Renowned for its versatility and reliability, the 34th Water Transport Squadron played a crucial role in sustaining Allied operations across multiple conflicts before its deactivation in the late 1950s.
