The 86th Logistics Readiness Squadron houses the Fuels, Deployment and Distribution and Material Maintenance flights. The 392 Airmen and 113 U.S. and local civilians of the 86th LRS provide the 86th Airlift Wing with the best logistics support to meet the U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa mission. Housing the Air Force’s largest travel management office, the Air Force’s fourth largest defense fuel support point and USAFE-AFAFRICA’s largest equipment account, the 86th LRS provides fuel, deployment necessities and equipment for all inbound and outbound aircraft and military members. The LRS Airmen ensure the flightline has 24-hour support. LRS works day and night to be force multipliers.
