57th MMS

The 57th Munitions Maintenance Squadron (57th MMS) was a United States Air Force unit responsible for the storage, maintenance, and handling of nuclear and conventional munitions. Activated in the 1950s during the height of the Cold War, the unit played a critical role in supporting strategic bomber and fighter operations assigned to its host wing. The 57th MMS ensured the readiness and safety of munitions stockpiles at its assigned base, often participating in rigorous training exercises and inspections. The squadron was eventually inactivated as part of organizational restructuring and changes in U.S. nuclear posture.
