6461 TCS

The 6461st Tactical Control Squadron (TCS) was a United States Air Force unit that played a crucial role in air operations during the Vietnam War. Activated in the mid-1960s, the squadron specialized in providing tactical air control and radar services to coordinate air strikes and manage air traffic in combat zones. The 6461 TCS operated primarily from bases in Southeast Asia, utilizing mobile radar and communications equipment to support both ground and air forces. Its mission contributed significantly to the effectiveness and safety of U.S. and allied air operations before the unit's eventual inactivation as the conflict wound down.
