81st AGS

The 81st Aircraft Generation Squadron (81st AGS) was an integral unit of the United States Air Force, primarily assigned to the 81st Fighter Wing. Activated during the Cold War era, the squadron was based at RAF Bentwaters in the United Kingdom, where it was responsible for aircraft maintenance and generation, ensuring the readiness of A-10 Thunderbolt II and earlier, F-4 Phantom II fighter aircraft. The 81st AGS played a key role in NATO operations, supporting deterrence and air defense missions across Europe. The unit was inactivated in the 1990s following the end of the Cold War and the closure of RAF Bentwaters.
