50th Supply Squadron

The 50th Supply Squadron was an integral logistics unit of the United States Air Force, originally activated in 1949. Tasked with providing vital supply and materiel support, the squadron supported the 50th Fighter Wing, ensuring operational readiness during both peacetime and conflict. Throughout the Cold War, the 50th Supply Squadron played a key role in supporting USAF operations in Europe, particularly at Hahn Air Base in West Germany. The unit was eventually inactivated in the 1990s as part of post-Cold War force reductions and organizational restructuring.
