The 349th Air Mobility Wing (349 AMW) is the largest associate reserve wing
in the United States Air Force
. In partnership with its active duty host wing, the 60th Air Mobility Wing
(60 AMW) the 349 AMW flies, maintains and supports the C-5 Galaxy
, KC-10 Extender
, C-17 Globemaster III
. Both wings are located at Travis Air Force Base
, California
, the only Air Force Base to house these three major air mobility airframes.
The 349th AMW is also home to the 349th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, responsible for treating patients during medical airlift; the 349th Airlift Control Flight, tasked to enter austere locations and prepare for USAF aircraft arrival; and the 349th Medical Squadron, capable of providing hospital services worldwide, in a contingency environment.
The mission of the 349th AMW is to "provide combat ready Airmen and expeditionary support to the war fighter." This makes the wing responsible for training almost 3,500 Reservists who, in turn, work side-by-side their active duty counterparts in the 60th AMW, also stationed at Travis.
The 349 AMW main mission is to provide combat ready Airmen and expeditionary support to the war fighter.
