70th FMS (SAC)

The 70th Field Maintenance Squadron (FMS) was an integral support unit assigned to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the Cold War. Stationed at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, the 70th FMS provided critical aircraft maintenance and logistical support for the 70th Bombardment Wing, ensuring the operational readiness of B-47 and later B-58 bomber aircraft. The squadron's skilled personnel handled complex repairs, inspections, and modifications, directly contributing to SAC’s nuclear deterrence mission. The 70th FMS was inactivated following the phase-out of its parent wing in the late 1960s, marking the end of its distinguished service.
