6549th CAMS

The 6549th Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (CAMS) was a United States Air Force unit activated in the early 1960s at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The squadron provided specialized aircraft maintenance support for the Air Force Flight Test Center, servicing experimental and prototype aircraft during critical phases of testing and evaluation. Comprised of highly skilled technicians, the 6549th CAMS played an essential role in maintaining the operational readiness and safety of advanced aerospace systems, including those involved in cutting-edge research. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of reorganizations and consolidation of maintenance functions within the Air Force test community.
