The 7002nd Civil Engineering Squadron (CES) was a United States Air Force unit stationed at Taegu Air Base, South Korea, during the Korean War and the subsequent Cold War era. Tasked with base construction, maintenance, and infrastructure support, the 7002 CES played a critical role in sustaining air operations and improving living conditions for U.S. forces on the peninsula. The squadron was instrumental in rapid runway repairs, facility upgrades, and emergency response during periods of heightened tension. Their efforts contributed to the overall mission readiness of U.S. Air Force units stationed in South Korea throughout the mid-20th century.

The United States Air Force (USAF) is the aerial warfare branch of the United States Armed Forces. It is responsible for air defense, air support, and aerospace operations. The USAF was officially established as a separate branch of the military in 1947, but its roots can be traced back to the formation of the Aeronautical Division of the U.S. Signal Corps in 1907. The USAF has a global presence, with bases and operations in countries around the world to protect U.S. interests and provide support to allies.
