Mission

Enabling Combat Power by providing Unrivaled Air Mobility Operations,
Showcase Service and Support, and Combat-Ready Airmen. Description

Scott Air Force Base is a global mobility and transportation hub for the
Department of Defense. The base is home to several command and control
elements that represent logistics for the United States military in air,
over land and across the sea in a true joint environment that brings
together the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard members--active
duty, Guard and Reserve! Team Scott partners are collectively responsible
not only for managing the global mobility missions around the world, but
also aeromedical evacuation, senior leader airlift and aerial refueling
capabilities for the Air Force and DoD. Scott AFB is home to some of the nation's most important
organizations--including U.S. Transportation Command, Air Mobility Command,
the 618th Air and Space Operations Center (Tanker Airlift Control Center),
and Air Force Network Integration Center, which are just a few of the 31
tenant units stationed here. It's also one of four bases in the Air Force to
host both a Reserve unit, the 932nd Airlift Wing, and an Air National Guard
unit, the 126th Air Refueling Wing. General Information
