4531 Transportation SQ (TAC)

The 4531st Transportation Squadron (Tactical), also known as the 4531 Transportation SQ (TAC), was a United States Air Force unit activated in the late 1950s to provide tactical airlift and ground transportation support. Assigned to Tactical Air Command (TAC), the squadron played a vital role in moving personnel, equipment, and supplies to support air operations during training exercises and contingency deployments. The unit was stationed at Homestead Air Force Base, Florida, and contributed to the rapid deployment capabilities of the Air Force during the Cold War. The 4531st Transportation Squadron was inactivated in the early 1960s as part of a larger realignment and consolidation of Air Force support units.
