320th Air Expeditionary Group [320th AEG]
The 320th Air Expeditionary Group provides first-class customer service to the coalition forces in the Eskan Village-Riyadh area. As part of its daily operations, the 320th AEG provides force protection for everyone at Eskan Village, maintains much of the installation infrastructure, ensures lines of communication are kept open, and gives logistical support throughout the area of operations. To complete its mission, the 320th AEG relies on the expertise found in four squadrons and the group staff.
The 320th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron provides facility maintenance, construction, and design support for all multi-service multi-national organizations and personnel assigned to Eskan Village in support of Operation SOUTHERN WATCH. Ensures environmental compliance and continuous emergency and disaster response capability. The civil engineer squadron is responsible for the construction, maintenance and repair of facilities. The squadron is also involved with and supervises the labor involved with facility service contracts. Also environmental services, fire protection, explosive ordnance disposal and air base operability of all U. S. occupied facilities on Eskan Village are all CE responsibilities. The squadron also manages engineering design projects, facility space requirements and the furniture management office. Villa management and maintenance are also supported by the civil engineering squadron.
The 320th Expeditionary Communications Squadron provides tactical command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) support to the Joint Task Force Southwest Asia (JTF-SWA) Commander, joint forces, and coalition partners in support of U.N Security Council resolutions and Operation SOUTHERN WATCH. The squadron also supports a theater-wide mission by serving as a communications hub for bases in the JTF-SWA Area of Responsibility (AOR). We accomplish this through satellite, radio systems, and secure communications equipment. The squadron also directly serves Eskan Village providing local base communications support. Support includes LAN, radio maintenance, Cable TV, Workgroup management, local telephone support, small computer support and operating a message center. The Squadron has overall management for distribution of publications and forms. It servers as the base copier manager and maintains the Records Information Management System program. The Squadron also operates a Workgroup Management Training classroom. Official mail is handled directly by the Squadron. The Squadron augments base postal services to provide mail for deployed combatants. The Squadron has responsibility for land mobile radios and pagers. The squadron also provides management of a cellular telephone contract. Public address services, requirements processing, and help desk support are also provided.
The 320th Expeditionary Logistics Squadron is responsible for supporting JTF-SWA, ARCENT, F2C2, and the 320th Air Expeditionary Group with their transportation, supply, and contracting needs in order to perform their assigned missions. Additionally, it provides logistics support to allied combatant forces assigned to Eskan Village. All of the support expected from these three logistics disciplines at a US Air Force Base is provided by the men and women of the 320th Logistics Squadron. The only support not provided is any tasking that relates directly to support of any US Air Force Base with a flying mission. There are some unique requirements on an almost daily basis that are not normally tasked to logistics. Vehicle Operations provides all transportation between PSAB and Eskan Village, and the Squadron is also responsible for transportation to 10 other locations in the AOR. The Supply Flight has one of the few remaining Base Service Stores in the USAF. The IMPAC card is not used ar Eskan, so local purchases are made by using the Blanket Purchasing Agreement.
The 320th Expeditionary Security Force Squadron [ESFS] provides Force Protection for deployed coalition and non-combatant forces, and conducts antiterrorism, security, law enforcement, resource protection, air base defense, through multi-national, security force operations.
