Unit:
355th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron

Motto/Slogan/Nickname:
"Maintenance Pride Ensures the Ride"

Mission:
The squadron generates all combat and training sorties in the 355th Fighter Wing by managing the efforts of Airmen in 13 different specialties who maintain A/OA-10 attack aircraft. The 355th AMXS provides safe, properly configured aircraft in order to meet the flying-hour program for three fighter squadrons. The squadron also develops and executes a scheduled maintenance plan to maintain long term fleet health, while providing forces to support worldwide contingency taskings.

Vision Statement:
Maintaining the fleet, training the Airmen, generating safe sorties at home and abroad, today and tomorrow.

Members:
The squadron consists of 534 enlisted personnel, eight officers, and one civilian dedicated to serving their nation.

Recent Accomplishments:
- We completed conversion to the A-10C model aircraft in the 357th Aircraft Maintenance Unit, one of the squadron's three flights. This completes the first phase of a major upgrade to our A-10 fleet. The remaining A-10s are also scheduled to complete upgrade.

- Our 354th AMU recently returned from a six-month deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. While deployed, the Airmen earned accolades from the Central Air Forces commander and were extraordinarily effective in supporting sustained combat operations.

- The 358th AMU took on the task of providing all O/A-10A sorties for pilot training. They also implemented the use of electronic technical orders for the A-10 fleet. This new technology is being adopted across the fleet this summer.

Recent Awards include:
- 2007 Air Combat Command Lt. Gen. Leo Marquez Award winner, Airman Category
- February 2007 ACC Monthly Weapons Safety Award of Distinction

Commander's Quote:
"I'm extremely proud to be a part of AMXS. My Airmen's professionalism and dedication has ensured our success in training new A-10 pilots and resulted in phenomenal results at war. The Airmen from AMXS set the standard for all A-10 maintenance. Regardless of whether it's raining or 110 degrees, they are always giving 100 percent to the mission. They are awesome!"
