62nd Supply Squadron

The 62nd Supply Squadron was activated during World War II in 1942 as part of the 62nd Troop Carrier Group, providing vital logistical and supply support for airborne operations in the European and Mediterranean Theaters. The squadron ensured the delivery of essential equipment, fuel, and provisions to front-line units, contributing to the success of major campaigns such as Operation Husky and the Normandy Invasion. During the Cold War, the 62nd Supply Squadron was re-designated and continued its mission at McChord Air Force Base, supporting airlift operations for the 62nd Airlift Wing. Over the years, the unit has maintained a reputation for excellence in logistics and supply chain management, playing a crucial role in both peacetime and contingency operations.
