93 AMS

The 93rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (93 AMS) was a United States Air Force unit responsible for maintaining and supporting the operational readiness of assigned aircraft. Activated as part of the 93rd Bomb Wing at Castle Air Force Base, California, the squadron played a crucial role in sustaining the B-52 Stratofortress bombers and KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft. Throughout the Cold War, 93 AMS ensured the wing's aircraft were mission capable, supporting nuclear deterrence and global strike missions. The squadron was inactivated following the closure of Castle AFB in 1995, as part of the post-Cold War drawdown.
