602nd MASS

The 602nd Military Airlift Support Squadron (MASS) was a United States Air Force unit activated in the 1960s to provide vital airlift support and logistics operations. Stationed at various strategic locations, including Torrejon Air Base in Spain, the 602nd MASS was responsible for managing cargo, passenger services, and ground handling for Military Airlift Command aircraft transiting through Europe during the Cold War. The unit played a crucial role in supporting U.S. and NATO missions, ensuring rapid deployment and sustainment of forces. The 602nd MASS was eventually inactivated as part of broader Air Force restructuring and modernization efforts in the post-Cold War era.
