68th OMS

The 68th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (68th OMS) was a support unit of the United States Air Force, primarily active during the Cold War era. It was assigned to the 68th Bombardment Wing at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina. The squadron was responsible for performing organizational-level maintenance on B-52 Stratofortress bombers and KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft, ensuring their combat readiness and operational effectiveness. The 68th OMS played a crucial role in maintaining the wing's alert status under Strategic Air Command until the unit's inactivation in the early 1990s due to post-Cold War restructuring.
