The 6908th Security Squadron (6908th SS) was a United States Air Force unit established during the Cold War era. Activated on March 1, 1963, at Yokota Air Base, Japan, the squadron was part of the U.S. Air Force Security Service (USAFSS), specializing in signals intelligence (SIGINT) and electronic surveillance operations in the Pacific region. Its mission was to intercept, analyze, and report on foreign military communications, contributing to U.S. and allied situational awareness during a period of heightened tensions in Asia. The 6908th Security Squadron was inactivated on July 1, 1974, as part of a broader reorganization of Air Force intelligence assets.
