49th MMS

The 49th Munitions Maintenance Squadron (49th MMS) was a unit of the United States Air Force, primarily active during the Cold War era. Assigned to the 49th Tactical Fighter Wing, the squadron was responsible for the storage, maintenance, and delivery of conventional and nuclear munitions in support of tactical fighter operations. Stationed at various bases including Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany, the 49th MMS played a key role in ensuring the readiness of U.S. and NATO air forces in Europe. The unit was eventually inactivated or redesignated as part of broader Air Force reorganizations and modernization efforts.
