431st MMS

The 431st Munitions Maintenance Squadron (431st MMS) was a unit of the United States Air Force primarily responsible for the storage, maintenance, and handling of munitions. Activated during the Cold War era, the squadron played a critical role in supporting USAF operations, ensuring that aircraft were supplied with safe and reliable ordnance. The 431st MMS was often stationed at overseas bases, contributing to NATO readiness and deterrence missions. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of post-Cold War drawdowns and restructuring of USAF munitions support units.
