The 6497th CAMS (Component Repair Squadron) K2, stationed at Daegu Air Base (K-2) in South Korea, was a vital U.S. Air Force unit during the Korean War and subsequent decades. Tasked primarily with aircraft maintenance and component repair, the 6497th CAMS supported various fighter and transport squadrons operating in the region. Their efforts ensured a high operational readiness rate for USAF aircraft, directly contributing to air superiority over the Korean Peninsula. The unit played a crucial logistical and technical role in sustaining U.S. and allied air operations throughout its tenure at K2.
