317th Aircraft Generation Squadron

The 317th Aircraft Generation Squadron (317th AGS) was a unit of the United States Air Force responsible for aircraft maintenance and generation, primarily supporting the 317th Airlift Wing. Activated during the Cold War, the squadron played a crucial role in ensuring the operational readiness of C-130 Hercules aircraft by providing maintenance, inspections, and launch/recovery operations. Stationed at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, the 317th AGS contributed to numerous airlift and humanitarian missions worldwide. The squadron was eventually inactivated and its functions were reorganized under the Air Force's expeditionary maintenance structure in the early 2000s.
