380th FMS

The 380th Field Maintenance Squadron (FMS) was a key support unit within the United States Air Force, historically assigned to the 380th Bombardment Wing. Activated during the Cold War, the 380th FMS was responsible for providing comprehensive maintenance and repair for the wing's aircraft and equipment, ensuring operational readiness. Stationed at Plattsburgh Air Force Base, New York, the squadron played a vital role in supporting Strategic Air Command operations, including the maintenance of B-52 Stratofortress bombers and KC-135 Stratotankers. The unit was inactivated in the early 1990s following the end of the Cold War and the subsequent restructuring of Air Force maintenance organizations.
