Maintainers assigned to the 8th Expeditionary Air Mobility Squadron kept a fleet of C-17 Globemaster III's operational in support of the Afghanistan evacuation operations Aug. 2021. For the first week, at the peak, 46 aircraft were maintained with less than 60 maintainers until augmentees could arrive. This was more than four times Al Udeid's typical fleet size. The Department of Defense is committed to supporting the evacuation of American citizens, Special Immigrant Visa applicants and other at-risk individuals from Afghanistan.
