SOUTHWEST ASIA --  The 380th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron's Air Terminal Operations Center (ATOC) is comprised of 22 Airmen. The Airmen, both active duty and reservists, provide 24/7 air transportation support. The ATOC mission is to support the movement of theater deployment, employment, redeployment and sustainment of all operations. Almost all of the 380th Air Expeditionary Wing's personnel and equipment pass through ATOC. The mission encompasses the movement of supply items including aircraft engines, vehicles and mission critical parts. All movements are tracked, providing both users and shippers in transit visibility (ITV).

ATOC performs approximately 360 services for its assigned aircraft, moves more than 800 tons of cargo and processes 2,000-plus passengers each month. Additionally, they support many exercises, including "Accurate Test" and "Eager Lion," which is currently the largest AOR exercise.
