435th OMS

The 435th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (OMS) was a unit of the United States Air Force, primarily assigned to the 435th Tactical Airlift Wing. Activated during the Cold War era, the squadron was responsible for providing organizational-level maintenance to aircraft, notably supporting operations involving C-130 Hercules transports. Stationed at Rhein-Main Air Base in West Germany, the 435th OMS played a vital role in ensuring aircraft readiness during critical periods of NATO operations and European defense. The squadron was inactivated as part of post-Cold War restructuring and the eventual drawdown of U.S. forces in Europe.
