6001st Aerospace support squadron

The 6001st Aerospace Support Squadron was a United States Air Force unit primarily based at Yokota Air Base, Japan, during the early years of the Cold War. Activated in the late 1950s, the squadron provided vital logistical, technical, and operational support for aerospace missions and units stationed in the Asia-Pacific region. Its responsibilities included maintenance of aerospace equipment, ground support for aircraft, and coordination of supply chains essential to U.S. Air Force operations in the Far East. The 6001st operated under various command structures before its eventual inactivation as part of broader USAF organizational changes in the 1960s.
