4500 CAM Squadron ( TAC ) Langley AFB, Via.

The 4500th CAM (Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance) Squadron (Tactical Air Command) was activated at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, during the height of the Cold War. Tasked with providing comprehensive aircraft maintenance support, the squadron played a vital role in ensuring the operational readiness of TAC’s fighter and reconnaissance aircraft stationed at Langley. Throughout its service, the 4500th CAM Squadron supported various tactical air operations, training missions, and rapid deployments. The unit was eventually inactivated or redesignated as part of broader Air Force organizational changes in the 1970s, reflecting evolving mission requirements and force structure realignments.
