Scott Air Force Base | 375th Air Mobility Unit
Command and Control
The Scott Command Post serves as the nerve center from which the 375th AMW commander monitors and manages the readiness and response of the wing, coordinates the use of personnel and resources, and controls wing operations. The Command Post is co-located and consolidated with 932nd Airlift Wing (Reserves) personnel, operating 24 hours daily It is an extension of Air Mobility Command’s Tanker Airlift Control Center and is the centralized command and control agency through which the TACC manages AMC missions transiting Scott Air Force Base. The Scott Command Post is a wing staff agency and is the wing commander’s representative responsible for emergency actions, operational reporting and mission monitoring. It is also responsible for reports to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff assessing the wing’s mission readiness.

Inspector General
The mission of the 375th AMW Inspector General is to sustain a credible Air Force IG system by ensuring the existence of responsive complaint investigations and Fraud, Waste, and Abuse programs characterized by objectivity, integrity and impartiality. The IG ensures the concerns of all complainants and the best interests of the Air Force are addressed through objective fact-finding to enhance the discipline, readiness and warfighting capability of the entire wing.

Any Air Force military or civilian member may file an IG complaint. The IG may also accept complaints from dependents or relatives of active-duty members, retirees and their dependents. As a complainant, you may contact an IG at any level without notifying your chain of command and without retaliation or fear of reprisal. No one can prohibit your access to the IG. However, experience has demonstrated that commanders and supervisors are in the best position to evaluate and resolve complaints. For this reason, you are encouraged to discuss your problems with your supervisor or commander before seeking assistance from the IG.

Judge Advocate
The 375th AMW Judge Advocate (legal) office performs four essential functions: military justice, operational law and mission-related legal assistance, protecting Air Force resources and freedom of action and morale and welfare.

MILITARY JUSTICE
As stewards of the military justice system, the base legal office assists commanders in maintaining good order and discipline in their units. Military justice attorneys and paralegals accomplish this by providing legal advice to commanders and first sergeants on all disciplinary issues and keeping them appraised of trends so they can make well-reasoned and fair disciplinary decisions. ?e Military Justice Division is also responsible for processing all courts martial, Articles-15 and administrative disciplinary matters.

OPERATIONAL LAW AND MISSION RELATED
LEGAL ASSISTANCE
Attorneys and paralegals are instrumental in advising commanders concerning the rules of engagement and law of armed conflict in both war and peacetime. Given Scott’s medical evacuation mission and the special protections afforded to medical personnel under the Geneva Conventions, operational law attorneys and paralegals play a continuous role in ensuring all aspects of law of armed conflict are complied with. ?e operation law division also takes care of deploying member’s and their family’s legal needs before, during and after the member departs.

PROTECTING AIR FORCE RESOURCES
AND FREEDOM OF ACTION
The legal office’s client is the Air Force. To ensure the interests of the Air Force are protected, the legal office provides a full-spectrum of civil law advice to commanders and wing agencies to better enable them to accomplish their mission. From providing advice on contracts, environmental law and labor issues to defending the Air Force against tort claims and other law suits, the legal office fights hard to insure commanders can accomplish the mission without a threat of adverse legal and/or fiscal consequences.

MORALE AND WELFARE
Finally, the legal office helps ensure military members are compensated for any damage done to their household goods during government directed moves by facilitating the claims process through the Air Force Claims Service Center and provides legal assistance to active duty, retired, dependent and mobilized Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve members. The scope of legal assistance includes almost any personal, civil, legal matter related to mobilization and deployment or that will have an adverse effect on the member’s ability to perform military duties.

The staff takes pride in imparting premier education and training on safety standards, techniques and tools to maximize sound operational risk management practices. In addition, the 375th AMW Safety office manages vigorous hazard identification and abatement actions to eliminate unnecessary risks in the workplace. This team effort helps our wing, associate partner units and GSU personnel avoid losses of valuable mission resources and safely train to the highest level of mission readiness.

Additionally, the historian is the wing’s focal point for organizational lineage, honors, heraldry, unit emblems and organizational flags.

Comptroller
The 375th Comptroller Squadron provides financial services and support for the wing and all 174 GSU’s at Scott as well as 71 geographically separated units. The squadron has two major flights: Financial Services Office and Financial Analysis Flight that contribute to Scott’s “Showcase Wing” by performing their own unique fiscal missions.

The FSO provides superior customer service and support to more than 14,100 wing, associate partner, retiree and transient personnel for pay and allowances, PCS/TDY travel vouchers, and civilian pay support. They also maintain a Defense Travel System help desk for the entire base. Beginning in March 2008, manual travel voucher processing functions migrated from the base Comptroller Office to the Air Force Financial Services Center at Ellsworth AFB, S.D., and Military Pay processing functions are in the process of migration. The FSO still accepts documentation from members; however processing actions are performed at the AFFSC.

FMA certifies availability of funds for all funding documents and manages government purchase card program funding documents. FMA also formulates and executes the 375th Air Mobility Wing fiscal year budget to best meet the wing’s overall requirements.

The Comptroller Squadron continually implements new financial systems to better expedite the financial needs of Scott.

Scott leaders at all levels—military and civilian—are committed to maintaining a workplace environment that rejects sexual assault and attitudes that promote such behaviors. The Scott SAPR office offers guidance and support for victims of sexual assault, unit commanders, first responders and those who wish to prevent or respond to sexual assault crimes. Newcomers to Scott will receive a SAPR briefing that addresses confidentiality, reporting procedures and other elements of DoD’s sexual assault policy as well as training information, safety tips and resources.
