The 306th Organizational Maintenance Squadron (306th OMS) was a United States Air Force unit assigned to the 306th Bombardment Wing. Activated in the early years of the Cold War, the 306th OMS was primarily responsible for the organizational-level maintenance and readiness of the wing’s B-47 Stratojet and later B-52 Stratofortress bombers at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida. The squadron played a crucial role in supporting Strategic Air Command’s nuclear deterrence mission during a critical period of American airpower development. The unit was eventually inactivated as part of broader Air Force organizational changes and the phaseout of the B-47 aircraft in the 1960s.
