31st AGS

The 31st Aircraft Generation Squadron (31st AGS) was a vital maintenance unit within the United States Air Force, originally assigned to the 31st Fighter Wing. Activated in the 1990s at Aviano Air Base, Italy, the squadron was responsible for the generation, servicing, and maintenance of F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft. The 31st AGS played a crucial support role during multiple NATO operations, including Operation Allied Force in 1999, ensuring mission readiness and aircraft availability. In the early 2000s, as part of an Air Force-wide restructuring, the 31st AGS was inactivated and its responsibilities were absorbed by the newly formed Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.
