605th TAC

The 605th Tactical Airlift Squadron (605th TAC) was an operational unit of the United States Air Force, primarily active during the Cold War period. Activated in the 1960s, the squadron was tasked with providing tactical airlift support, including the rapid transportation of troops, equipment, and supplies to forward areas. Throughout its service, the 605th TAC participated in numerous training exercises and real-world contingency operations, enhancing NATO and allied mobility capabilities. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of post-Cold War force reductions and restructuring within the Air Force.
