604th MASS

The 604th Military Airlift Support Squadron (MASS) was an important logistics unit within the United States Air Force, originally activated to provide airlift support operations in the Pacific region. Established during the Vietnam War era, the squadron played a crucial role in managing and supporting cargo and personnel movements through key airbases such as Yokota Air Base, Japan. The 604th MASS was responsible for coordinating airlift missions, refueling, and maintenance, ensuring the rapid and efficient transport of troops and equipment. The unit’s efforts contributed significantly to the effectiveness of U.S. military operations in the Pacific theater before it was eventually inactivated as part of broader organizational restructuring.
