7th MAPS

The 7th Military Airlift Platoon (7th MAPS) was an air logistics unit established to provide rapid, flexible airlift support for military operations. Activated during the height of the Cold War, the 7th MAPS specialized in transporting personnel, equipment, and supplies to forward operating bases and remote locations. The unit played a crucial role in several key operations, notably contributing to humanitarian missions and joint exercises with allied forces. Throughout its service, the 7th MAPS earned recognition for its reliability, adaptability, and commitment to mission success before being restructured during a broader military reorganization.
