The 1369th AVS Squadron (MAC), or the 1369th Audio Visual Squadron, was activated in the late 1960s under the Military Airlift Command (MAC) of the United States Air Force. Its primary mission was to provide comprehensive audiovisual support, including documentation, training films, and operational briefings, for MAC's global airlift operations. Stationed at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, the unit played a key role in capturing and disseminating critical mission footage during events such as the Vietnam War and numerous humanitarian airlift missions. The squadron was eventually inactivated as technological advancements and organizational changes led to the consolidation of audiovisual resources within the Air Force.
