The U.S. Air Force deploys thousands of aircraft at 82 major U.S. Air Force bases around the world. Its inventory includes more than 42 types and hundreds of variants of aircraft, from the well-known F-15 Eagle to Air Force One, to many other search, rescue, combat, and observation aircraft, as well as ground support equipment, simulators, trainers, pods, electronic gear, and other components.

The Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio, is specifically responsible for ensuring that maintenance on and parts for all U.S. Air Force aircraft are accounted for in terms of readiness, location, and availability - a significant task.
