It is formally known as the 525th Electronics Maintenance Squadron and is part of the 309th Electronic Maintenance Group. Its mission is to provide in-theater depot level maintenance in direct support of our warfighters in the Indo-Pacific area of responsibility. The SCP supports multiple weapon systems, conducting depot-level maintenance on a variety of assets such as airborne generators, hydraulics, and avionics. The unit also touts machining and welding capabilities for component manufacturing, and exercises engineering support for electronics, mechanical, and industrial equipment.
Military working dog (MWD) DDuke, 75th Security Forces Squadronâs newest and youngest MWD, is on his first deployment with his handler Staff Sgt. Daniel Duarte supporting the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.
At just two years old, deploying so young is a rare achievement.
