635 MMS

The 635th Munitions Maintenance Squadron (635 MMS) was a United States Air Force unit responsible for the storage, maintenance, and handling of munitions, including nuclear ordnance, during the Cold War era. Activated in the 1960s, the squadron was stationed at U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield in Thailand, supporting strategic bomber operations during the Vietnam War. Its personnel played a vital role in ensuring the reliability and readiness of munitions for B-52 Stratofortress missions. The 635 MMS was inactivated following the drawdown of U.S. forces in Southeast Asia and the eventual closure of U-Tapao as a major U.S. base.
