6th Supply Squadron Walker AFB

The 6th Supply Squadron was an essential logistics unit based at Walker Air Force Base near Roswell, New Mexico. Activated during the early years of the Cold War, the squadron provided crucial supply and materiel support to the Strategic Air Command’s operations at Walker AFB, primarily serving bomber and refueling wings. Throughout its tenure, the 6th Supply Squadron ensured the efficient flow of equipment, spare parts, and resources necessary for sustained readiness of B-36 and later B-52 bomber missions. The unit was inactivated following the closure of Walker AFB in 1967, marking the end of its vital support role in America’s strategic deterrence mission.
