37th AEMS

The 37th Aircraft Generation Squadron (AEMS), originally known as the 37th Aircraft Generation Squadron, was a vital component of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing based at Tonopah Test Range, Nevada, during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The unit was responsible for the maintenance, generation, and readiness of the F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter fleet, playing a key role in pioneering stealth technology operations. The 37th AEMS provided critical support during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, ensuring the mission capability of the F-117A during its combat debut. After the inactivation of the 37th TFW in 1992, the squadron’s mission and personnel were reassigned, marking the end of its distinguished contribution to U.S. Air Force operations.
