Scott Air Force Base is a United States Air Force base in St. Clair County, Illinois, near Belleville. Scott Field was one of thirty-two Air Service training camps established after the United States entered World War I in April 1917.〔William R. Evinger: ''Directory of Military Bases in the U.S.'', Oryx Press, Phoenix, Ariz., 1991, p. 147.〕 It is part of the Air Mobility Command (AMC), and is also the headquarters of the U.S. Transportation Command, a Unified Combatant Command that coordinates transportation across all the services. The base is operated by the 375th Air Mobility Wing (375 AMW) and is also home to the Air Force Reserve Command's 932d Airlift Wing (932 AW) and the Illinois Air National Guard's 126th Air Refueling Wing (126 ARW), the latter two units being operationally gained by AMC. The base currently employs 13,000 people, 5,100 civilians with 5,500 active-duty Air Force, and an additional 2,400 Air National Guard and Reserve personnel. It was announced in June 2014 that two new cybersecurity squadrons will be added to the three currently on base. Its airfield is also used by civilian aircraft, with civilian operations at the base referring to the facility as MidAmerica St. Louis Airport. MidAmerica has operated as a Joint Use Airport since beginning operations in November 1997. Allegiant Air, the only commercial with scheduled flights at the airport, pulled out of the airport on January 3, 2009,〔St. Louis Post-Dispatch. (MidAmerica Wings it Without Allegiant Air ). 1/7/2009. Retrieved 1/30/2009.〕 but resumed direct flights to Orlando in 2012. ==Units== Scott Air Force Base is home to the headquarters of many major military organizations, including: * United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) * United States Army Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) * Air Mobility Command (AMC) * Eighteenth Air Force (18 AF) * 635th Supply Chain Operations Wing (635 SCOW) * Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) * Defense Information Systems Agency, Continental United States (DISA CONUS) * Air Force Network Integration Center (AFNIC) '' * formerly the Air Force Communications Agency (AFCA)'' The 375th Air Mobility Wing is the host to more than 30 tenant units, including the Air Force Office of Special Investigations 3rd Field Investigations Region, the 932d Airlift Wing (Air Force Reserve Command), the 126th Air Refueling Wing (Illinois Air National Guard), and the 3rd Manpower Requirements Squadron (Air Force Manpower Agency).〔United States Air Force.
