96th FMS

The 96th Field Maintenance Squadron (96th FMS) was a unit within the United States Air Force, primarily tasked with providing aircraft maintenance and logistical support for operational squadrons. Originally activated during the Cold War era, the 96th FMS played a crucial role in ensuring the readiness and reliability of aircraft assigned to its parent wing, often supporting bomber and reconnaissance missions. Stationed at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, the squadron was integral to the overall mission effectiveness of the 96th Bombardment Wing. Over the years, the 96th FMS adapted to technological advancements and organizational changes before being inactivated or reorganized during subsequent Air Force restructuring efforts.
