6151st CAMS

The 6151st Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (CAMS) was an integral United States Air Force unit stationed at Osan Air Base, South Korea, during the Korean War and the early Cold War years. Activated in the early 1950s, the squadron was responsible for providing comprehensive aircraft maintenance support for fighter and reconnaissance units operating in the region. The 6151st CAMS played a crucial role in ensuring the operational readiness of various aircraft, including the F-86 Sabre, which was vital for air superiority missions. The squadron’s efforts contributed significantly to the sustained air operations and deterrence posture of U.S. forces on the Korean Peninsula during a period of heightened tension.
