Davis-Monthan Air Force Base - 2012 - Keep Trees

The 42nd ECS was reactivated March 10, 2006,
as the Air Force’s only EC-130H Compass Call formal
training unit, and it’s been flying training sorties at D-M
since July 2007. The 42nd conducts initial academic and
flying training for 13 crew positions and 200 students
annually, while managing 22 major command syllabi.
755TH AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE SQUADRON
The 755th AMXS provides warfighting commanders
with combat-ready EC-130H Compass Call aircraft to
expeditiously execute information warfare and electronic
attack operations. The squadron plans and executes all
on-equipment maintenance actions for 14 EC-130H and
one TC-130H aircraft, including launch and recovery,
scheduled inspections, servicing and component
replacement. They also conduct all maintenance training,
aircrew debriefing and supply functions.
755TH OPERATIONS SUPPORT SQUADRON
The 755th OSS supports 55th Electronic Combat
Group combat missions and contingency taskings.
The squadron performs command and control warfare
analysis, targeting and intelligence support, and directs
operational support functions including weapons and
tactics training for all U.S. Air Force EC-130H Compass
Call aircrews. They also conduct initial academic and
flying training for 20 crew positions and 200 students
while managing 17 major command syllabi.
309TH AEROSPACE MAINTENANCE AND
REGENERATION GROUP
The 309th AMARG, or “the bone yard,” as it’s often
called by visitors, is a one-of-a kind specialized facility
within the Air Force Materiel Command structure. The
group provides critical aerospace maintenance and
regeneration capabilities for Joint and Allied/Coalition
warfighters in support of global operations and agile
combat support for a wide range of military operations.
The 309th AMARG traces its heritage back to
1946 when the 4105th Army Air Force Base Unit was
established to store and manage vast numbers of surplus
World War II aircraft. Now, new capabilities define the
organization and its future.
A major industrial center occupying 2,600 acres, the
AMARG staff manages an inventory of nearly 4,400
aircraft and more than 350,000 line items of tooling. In
addition to the historic storage and disposition mission,
the Center’s highly skilled, 795-member workforce
regenerates aircraft, returning them to flying status or
preparing them for overland shipment. The AMARG team
also reclaims hundreds of millions of dollars worth of
parts to support global warfighting operations.
This combination of parts reclaimed and aircraft
withdrawn represents a return on taxpayer investment of
more than $1.2 billion, essentially a $12 return for every
dollar spent at 309th AMARG.
Although the organization’s primary customer is the
Department of Defense, additional workloads come from
other national, regional and local government agencies,
as well as foreign allies.
Four product divisions, Aircraft, Commodities,
Storage and Disposal, conduct AMARG’s core industrial
operations.
The Aircraft Division performs unparalleled
regeneration and specialized aircraft repair. Currently
Aircraft Division activities include participation in the A-10
service life extension and wing modification programs, F-4
regeneration for the Air Combat Command’s Full-Scale
Aerial Target (FSAT) or drone program, and partnership
with the U.S. Navy to regenerate and deliver P-3 aircraft
to various foreign allies in order to improve allied
interoperability.
