The Mission
The 375th Air Mobility Wing makes possible the command and control of the United States' entire military transportation effort—the logistics efforts of the world's greatest military in the air, on the ground and over the sea. Together, we execute every Air Mobility Command sortie worldwide, in peace and in war.

When the people or cargo is of the highest priority, we provide the mobility in C-21s. When lives hang in the balance, we provide aeromedical evacuation worldwide. The same incredible Airmen who enable global mobility at home station become combat-ready expeditionary forces for combatant commanders worldwide.  At home station, the 375th AMW is comprised of several staff agencies and four groups: the 375th Medical Group, 375th Operations Group, 375th Mission Support Group and 375th Communications Group.

The 375th AMW's operational support aircraft fleet consists of C-21A Learjets stationed here and at two geographically separated units around the country.  The OSA missions, which are centrally scheduled by U.S. Transportation Command, provide transportation for government officials and cargo requiring time-sensitive airlift.

As the host unit, the 375th AMW supports four major headquarters and a numbered air force with worldwide responsibilities: U.S. Transportation Command, Air Mobility Command, the Surface Deployment Distribution Command, Defense Information Technology Systems Agency and the 18th Air Force. It also provides support for the Air Force Network Integration Center, the Defense Information Technology Contracting Office, the 932nd Airlift Wing (Reserve) and the Illinois Air National Guard's 126th Air Refueling Wing—along with 66 other associate partner units.
