93th FMS

The 93rd Field Maintenance Squadron (93rd FMS) was a vital support unit within the U.S. Air Force, primarily stationed at Castle Air Force Base, California. Established during the Cold War, the squadron was responsible for providing maintenance and logistical support to the 93rd Bombardment Wing, which operated B-52 Stratofortress bombers and KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft. The 93rd FMS played a key role in ensuring the operational readiness and effectiveness of the Strategic Air Command's nuclear deterrence mission. The unit was eventually inactivated following the end of the Cold War and the subsequent restructuring of the U.S. Air Force in the 1990s.
