The 3d Combat Camera Squadron (3d CCS) is a specialized unit within the United States Air Force. This squadron’s primary role is to document and disseminate visual information about U.S. Air Force activities, particularly those related to combat operations. These images and videos are used for training, public affairs, and historical record-keeping purposes. The 3d CCS operates under the 9th Reconnaissance Wing, stationed at Beale Air Force Base in California. Its mission is critical in providing a visual narrative of U.S. Air Force operations, helping to inform both internal and external audiences about the activities of this important branch of the military.
