379TH OMS

The 379th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (OMS) was a key support unit assigned to the 379th Bombardment Wing of the United States Air Force. Activated during the Cold War era, the 379th OMS was responsible for the organizational-level maintenance of the wing's strategic bombers and tanker aircraft, ensuring their readiness for global operations. Stationed primarily at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan, the squadron played a vital role in supporting B-52 Stratofortress bombers and KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft during both peacetime and heightened alert periods. The unit remained active until the restructuring and eventual closure of Wurtsmith AFB in the early 1990s.
