824th Transportation Squadron SAC

The 824th Transportation Squadron was a United States Air Force unit assigned to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the Cold War era. Activated in the late 1950s, the squadron played a crucial role in supporting SAC’s nuclear deterrence mission by providing ground transportation and logistical support for personnel, equipment, and sensitive materials at key bomber and missile bases. Its responsibilities included vehicle operations, convoy movements, and ensuring the rapid mobility of strategic assets. The squadron was eventually inactivated or re-designated as part of broader Air Force organizational changes in the 1960s and 1970s, reflecting the evolving needs of the nation’s strategic forces.
