449th Supply Squadron

The 449th Supply Squadron was an integral support unit of the United States Air Force, originally activated during the Cold War era. Assigned to the 449th Bombardment Wing at Kincheloe Air Force Base, Michigan, the squadron provided essential materiel management, supply distribution, and logistical support for the wing's strategic bomber operations. Throughout its service, the 449th Supply Squadron ensured the readiness and sustainment of B-52 Stratofortress aircraft and associated mission equipment. The squadron was inactivated alongside the wing in 1977, following the closure of Kincheloe AFB and reductions in the Strategic Air Command’s force structure.
