611th MASS OL-A

**611th MASS OL-A** The 611th Military Airlift Support Squadron, Operating Location Alpha (611th MASS OL-A), was a geographically separated unit functioning under the 611th MASS, which itself was part of the Military Airlift Command (MAC). The unit was primarily responsible for providing airlift support, aircraft servicing, and logistical operations at a remote location in Alaska, often supporting transient MAC and Air Mobility Command (AMC) flights during the Cold War era. OL-A played a crucial role in ensuring rapid turnaround and mission readiness for strategic airlift operations, particularly in support of U.S. military activities in the Pacific and Arctic regions. Its dedicated personnel contributed to maintaining a vital link in the global airlift network before the inactivation and restructuring of MAC units in the 1990s.
