401st AGS

The 401st Aircraft Generation Squadron (AGS) was a key maintenance unit within the United States Air Force, primarily associated with the 401st Tactical Fighter Wing. Activated during the Cold War, the 401st AGS played a vital role in ensuring the readiness and operational effectiveness of fighter aircraft, including the F-4 Phantom II and later the F-16 Fighting Falcon. Stationed at Torrejon Air Base, Spain, the squadron provided direct maintenance and support for tactical air operations throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. The 401st AGS was inactivated in the 1990s following the post-Cold War realignment and drawdown of U.S. forces in Europe.
