6th ADMS

The 6th Air Defense Missile Squadron (6th ADMS) was a United States Air Force unit activated during the Cold War era. Established in the late 1950s, the squadron was tasked with operating surface-to-air missile systems, notably the BOMARC missile, to provide air defense for strategic areas in the northeastern United States. Stationed at Suffolk County Air Force Base, New York, the 6th ADMS played a vital role in the nation's air defense network under the Air Defense Command. The unit was inactivated in 1964 as advancements in missile technology and changes in defense strategy led to the realignment of air defense forces.
