28th Maintenance Group

   The Airmen of the 28th Maintenance Group are responsible for fixing and providing maintenance on the 27 B-1 bomber aircraft at the base as well as associated support equipment. The 1,500 professionals conduct periodic inspections and intermediate-level maintenance, and work around the clock in all types of weather at locations around the globe, to ensure the bombers, equipment, and munitions are ready for combat. The 28th MXG is comprised of four squadrons: the 28th Maintenance Operations Squadron, 28th Munitions Squadron, 28th Maintenance Squadron, and 28th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.

The 34th and 37th Aircraft Maintenance Units provide direct maintenance support to the 34th and 37th Bomb Squadrons at home and while deployed, with maintenance equipment support from the Support Flight. The squadron performs all on-equipment maintenance, weapons loading and support activities, generating combat and flying training sorties for B-1 crews at home and around the world.
