The 93rd Civil Engineering Squadron (CES) was an integral support unit assigned to the 93rd Bombardment Wing at Castle Air Force Base, California. Activated during the height of the Cold War, the squadron provided critical engineering, construction, and base maintenance services to ensure the operational readiness of the wing’s B-52 Stratofortress bombers. The 93rd CES played a vital role in infrastructure development, emergency response, and rapid runway repair, directly supporting nuclear deterrence and strategic air operations. Following the end of the Cold War and the subsequent drawdown of forces, the squadron was inactivated in the 1990s alongside the closure of Castle AFB.

The 93rd Security Police Squadron was a United States Air Force unit assigned to Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, as part of the 93rd Bombardment Wing. Activated during the Cold War, the squadron was responsible for providing law enforcement, base security, and protection of nuclear resources associated with B-52 Stratofortress operations. The unit played a key role in maintaining the security posture of the base, especially during heightened alert periods and exercises. The 93rd Security Police Squadron was eventually inactivated following the closure of the 93rd Bomb Wing and changes in Air Force organizational structure in the 1990s.
