The 57th Aircraft Generation Squadron (57th AGS) was an essential maintenance unit assigned to the 57th Wing at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Activated in the late 20th century, the 57th AGS was responsible for the maintenance, repair, and generation of aircraft supporting the USAF's premier training and tactics development programs, including the prestigious Red Flag exercises. The unit ensured operational readiness of various aircraft, notably supporting aggressor squadrons and advanced fighter training. In the early 2000s, the 57th AGS was inactivated as part of an Air Force-wide reorganization, with its functions absorbed by newly structured maintenance groups.
