Military Air Transport Service (MATS) was a Department of Defense Unified Command that was active from 1948 until 1966. MATS was a consolidation of the United States Navy’s Naval Air transport Service (NATS) and the United States Air Force’s Air Transport Command (ATC) into a single joint command. It was inactivated and discontinued on 8 January 1966, superseded by the Air Force’s Military Airlift Command (MAC) as a separate strategic airlift command, and it returned shore-based Navy cargo aircraft to Navy control as operational support airlift (OSA) aircraft.
