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.
375th Air Mobility Wing
Public Affairs
The mission of the 375th AMW Public Affairs
office is to provide trusted counsel to leaders; build,
maintain, and strengthen Airmen morale and
readiness; enhance public trust and support;
achieve global influence and deterrence; and provide
photo, video, and graphics multimedia support
to the entire base populous.
Internal information programs are the primary
means Air Force leaders use to communicate with
Airmen and their families, to include retirees, civilians
and contract employees. Internal programs

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

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. FMA also serves as the audit
focal point for the wing and conducts the annual
economic impact analysis and other financial
analyses to support the wing.

new financial systems to better expedite the
financial needs of Scott.

equal opportunity matters to commanders at all
levels, conducts human relations climate assessments
and provides education and briefings as
requested.
