AGE technicians ensure ground support equipment, like power generators and hydraulic systems, are in optimal condition to support aircraft and keep the 51st Fighter Wing combat-ready. The bomb lifts maintained by AGE technicians are crucial to arming the A-10C Thunderbolt IIs and F-16 Fighting Falcons assigned to the 51st FW, ensuring the ROK remains safe and combat-ready.
