4520th Supply Nellis AFB

The 4520th Supply Squadron was a United States Air Force unit stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, during the height of the Cold War. Activated in the mid-1950s, the squadron was responsible for providing essential logistical and supply support to the various flying and training units assigned to Nellis, including those involved in advanced combat training and weapons testing. The unit played a crucial role in ensuring the operational readiness of aircraft and personnel, particularly as Nellis became a premier site for fighter pilot instruction and tactical development. The 4520th Supply Squadron was eventually inactivated or redesignated as part of broader USAF organizational changes in the 1970s, with its legacy continuing in successor supply units at the base.
