4045th OMS (SAC)

The 4045th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (OMS) was a support unit assigned to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) of the United States Air Force during the Cold War era. Activated in the late 1950s, the 4045th OMS was stationed at Selfridge Air Force Base, Michigan, where it provided essential maintenance and logistical support to SAC's bomber and refueling aircraft. The squadron played a crucial role in ensuring the readiness and operational capability of the B-52 Stratofortress and KC-135 Stratotanker fleets, contributing to America's strategic deterrence posture. The unit was eventually inactivated in the early 1960s as part of an Air Force reorganization and realignment of SAC support functions.
