Scott Air Force Base is home of Air Mobility Command's "Showcase Wing." An assignment here offers you an opportunity to serve in a very dynamic and Joint Total Force environment. Scott is located on the southern tip of Illinois and is surrounded by the cities of Belleville, Shiloh and Mascoutah. The base is located near historic Belleville, Ill. approximately 20 miles east of St. Louis, which is the largest city near the base. The Shiloh Gate, the primary vehicle entrance point, is 1.5 miles southeast of Interstate 64 (Exit 19A) at Route 158. The surrounding communities offer the best of Midwestern living with the excitement of a large metropolitan area just across the mighty Mississippi River.

Located in the Central Time Zone, Scott's weather includes four definite seasons. Temperatures range from the low 90s in the summer to winter nights when temperatures drop into the mid-teens. The wettest months, May and June, average four inches of rainfall each. The average annual precipitation is 38 inches. The Scott AFB base operator can be reached at 618-256-1110.

History

During World War I, Secretary of War Newton Baker advocated an expanded role for aviation. Business and political leaders on both sides of the Mississippi River wanted the Midwest to be chosen as a site for one of the "flying fields." These factors led to the establishment of Scott Field. Construction was well underway when the government announced it would name the field after Corporal Frank Scott on July 20, 1917, the first enlisted person to be killed in an aviation crash.

Mission

The 375th Airlift Wing makes possible the command and control of the United States' entire military transportation effort-the logistics efforts of the world's greatest military in the air, on the ground and over the sea. Together, we execute every Air Mobility Command sortie worldwide, in peace and in war. When the people or cargo is of the highest priority, Scott provides the global mobility with C-21s. When lives hang in the balance, Scott provides aeromedical evacuation worldwide. The same incredible Airmen who make Global Mobility happen at home station become combat-ready expeditionary forces for combatant commanders worldwide.

At home station, the 375th AW is comprised of several staff agencies and four groups: the 375th Medical Group, 375th Operations Group, 75th Mission Support Group and 375th Communications Group. The 375th AW's operational support aircraft fleet consists of C-21A Learjets stationed here and at two geographically separated units around the country. The OSA missions, which are centrally scheduled by U.S. Transportation Command, provide transportation for government officials and cargo requiring time-sensitive airlift. As the host unit, the 375th AW supports four major headquarters and a numbered air force with worldwide responsibilities: U.S. Transportation Command, 18th Air Force, Air Mobility Command, the Surface Deployment Distribution Command and the Defense Information Technology Systems Agency. It also provides support for the Air Force Communications Agency, the Defense Information Technology Contracting Office, the 932nd Airlift Wing (Reserve) and the Illinois Air National Guard's 126th Air Refueling Wing-along with approximately 66 other associate partner units. Together, the 375th AW is the center of excellence and Air Mobility Command's Showcase Wing-Making Global Mobility Happen.

Population Served

The Scott community has a total work force of more than 14,200 personnel-including active duty, civilians, Air National Guard and Reserves. If you include the more than 8,300 family members and the total number of military retirees and their families, Scott serves nearly 68,500 people. Scott is spread out over 3,589 acres with 57 miles of roadways. There are 960 structures on the base, including 1,430 family units and four dorms for 564 Airmen. A fifth dorm is scheduled for completion in 2008.

Sponsorship

Your sponsorship package will prove helpful in becoming acquainted with the base. If you have not received a sponsor with 30 days of your departure, contact your gaining orderly room or the Relocation Section of the Airman and Family Readiness Center, 618-256-8668 or DSN 312-576-8668.

The 24-hour arrival point at Scott is the Lodging Office/Scott Inn. The office will allow you to call your sponsor. Report to your orderly room the next day after arriving on base. Orderly room personnel will give you specific information for base in-processing which is hosted at the Airman and Family Readiness Center each Tuesday at 7:30 am.

For mail delivery send your sponsor a set of orders so he/she can arrange mail delivery. Please include a return address or fax number to receive this information. The Postal Service Center now issues postal boxes to all inbound personnel. An address is given within 24 hours of receipt of orders. Permanent personnel can be assigned a box prior to arriving at Scott, 30 days prior for stateside and 45 days for overseas personnel.

Temporary Quarters

The Temporary Lodging Facilities provide modern, convenient, low-cost temporary living units for incoming and outgoing military personnel and their families. Each of the 59 units is designed to accommodate a family of up to five members (or six, if one of the children is of crib age). Each unit is equipped with items needed to set up a temporary home. Reservations may be made up to three months in advance, 618-256-1844 or DSN 312-576-1844. Pets are not permitted in Transient Quarters.

Relocation Assistance

Since household goods are sometimes delayed in shipment, the Family Services section of Airman and Family Readiness Center has a supply of essential cooking and eating utensils and small electric appliances for short-term loan. Irons, cribs, high chairs, futons, TV VCR combo TVs, tables and chairs may also be borrowed from the Loan Closet.

The Newcomers' Orientation is the 3rd Friday of each month from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm at the Airman and Family Readiness Center.

Critical Installation Information

It is Illinois law that ALL children be in an appropriate car seat and in the rear seat of the vehicle up to age 4 and 50 pounds.

Important documents to be hand carried should include the following: orders, identification card, social security cards, vehicle registrations, proof of insurance, and if coming from overseas--vehicle shipping papers, shot records for everyone, household inventories for goods shipments and claims, and school records of children if applicable.
