Eighteen Air Force Organization

Eighteenth Air Force, commanded by a two-star general and headquartered at Scott AFB, Ill. Eighteenth Air Force ensures readiness and sustainment of approximately 19,000 active duty, Air Force Reserve, and civilian Airmen at eight wings and two direct reporting units. With more than 400 aircraft, Eighteenth Air Force supports AMC’s worldwide mission of providing rapid global mobility to America’s armed forces through airlift, airdrop, aerial refueling, aeromedical evacuation and the global air mobility support system.

Airlift provides the capability to deploy U.S. armed forces anywhere in the world within hours and help sustain them in a conflict. 18th AF also supports presidential and senior leader airlift. Air refueling is the backbone of Global Reach, increasing coalition and U.S. aircraft’s range mid-air. Aeromedical evacuation ensures the wounded warriors get the care they deserve and today have sustained the survival rate of 97 percent. In addition to enabling the force to respond to an enemy attack and sustain operations, Rapid Global Mobility brings humanitarian supplies and assistance to those in need who may live in austere locations. The Global Air Mobility Support System is a logistics network of Total Force Mobility Airmen and capabilities necessary to project, connect, maneuver, and sustain combat power anywhere on the globe, from the ground up.
