426th Munitions Maintenance Squadron

The 426th Munitions Maintenance Squadron (426th MMS) was a United States Air Force unit activated during the Cold War era. The squadron played a crucial role in managing, maintaining, and safeguarding nuclear munitions at various Strategic Air Command (SAC) bases. Notably, it supported bomber and missile operations, ensuring the readiness and reliability of the nation's strategic deterrent forces. The 426th MMS was eventually inactivated as part of post-Cold War force reductions and changes in U.S. nuclear posture.
