The 610th Military Airlift Support Squadron (610 MASS) was a unit of the United States Air Force that provided airlift support and logistical services, primarily during the Cold War era. Activated in the 1960s, the squadron was stationed at Yokota Air Base, Japan, under the Military Airlift Command (MAC). Its mission included managing cargo and passenger operations, maintenance support, and coordination of strategic and tactical airlift missions across the Pacific theater. The 610 MASS played a vital role in supporting U.S. military operations and humanitarian missions in the Asia-Pacific region until its inactivation in the early 1990s due to post-Cold War restructuring.

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.
