EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska — The reactivation of the 354th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (AMXS) marked a new chapter in aircraft maintenance operations as the 355th, 365th and 18th Fighter Generation Squadrons (FGS) officially merged and deactivated during a ceremony at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, June 1. The squadron traces its origins to the Cold War, supporting the 354th Tactical Fighter Wing at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, South Carolina, with aircraft including the F-100 Super Sabre, A-7D Corsair II and A-10 Thunderbolt II. In 1993, it relocated with the 354th Fighter Wing to Eielson Air Force Base, to support Pacific and Arctic operations. In 2024, the Air Force deactivated the 354th AMXS and replaced it with the 18th FGS to align with the 18th Fighter Interceptor Squadron See 354th, Page 2
