6003rd acw

The 6003rd Air Intelligence Service Squadron (AISS), later redesignated as the 6003rd Air Control and Warning Squadron (AC&W), was a United States Air Force unit active during the Korean War era. Established in the early 1950s, the unit was primarily responsible for providing early warning, radar surveillance, and air control operations in the Korean theater. The squadron played a critical role in detecting enemy aircraft and coordinating air defense efforts for United Nations forces. After several years of service, the unit was eventually inactivated or absorbed into other air defense organizations as operational needs evolved.
