436 OMS

The 436th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (OMS) was an integral support unit within the United States Air Force, primarily assigned to the 436th Military Airlift Wing at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware. Activated during the Cold War era, the 436 OMS was responsible for the organizational-level maintenance and servicing of the wing’s fleet of large transport aircraft, such as the C-5 Galaxy. The squadron played a critical role in ensuring aircraft readiness for global airlift missions, including humanitarian relief and military deployments. In the early 1990s, as part of an Air Force-wide reorganization, the 436 OMS was inactivated and its functions were absorbed into the consolidated Aircraft Generation Squadrons structure.
