How USAF’s Top Maintenance School Is Preparing for Future Fights
Jan. 5, 2021 | By Jennifer-Leigh Oprihory
The U.S. Air Force Advanced Maintenance and Munitions Operations School is changing the way it molds maintenance and logistics experts in response to the service’s embrace of agile combat employment and to help USAF maintain its competitive edge amid great power competition, 57th Wing Commander Brig. Gen. Michael R. Drowley said Jan. 5.
The school—which was founded in 2003 and calls the 57th Wing and Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., home—produces maintenance, munitions, and logistics experts through graduate-level coursework, and essentially serves as an equivalent institution to the U.S. Air Force Weapons School for Airmen in related Air Force career fields.
“The AMMOS school is really shifting their scan downrange right now to see what are the problems on the horizon that are gonna be rapidly approaching us here, and how do they focus their efforts appropriately?†he said during a virtual discussion with Air Force Association President retired USAF Lt. Gen. Bruce “Orville†Wright.
