Recommended Posts

I am trying to identify each of the Combat Logistics Support Squadron (CLSS) in the USAF. The 4-Digit, the 3-Digit, and the relation between each of these.

I'm finding it hard to tell which is which and the history to which ones. I heard rumor that the stars are in relation to the last digit of the 4-Digit squadron.

Such as the 654th CLSS having 3 stars -- relation may be to the 2953rd CLSS

 

Let me be more specific. I am after information on the 654th and the 507th. (I know these to be B-1 related)

I am trying to find out if any of the other CLSS's may be B-1 related. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --- Rick (Old B-1)

 

If anyone needs some info on these squadrons...I have collected many different airframes worth of information.
