The "Eagle Wing" is a subordinate of 21st Air Force headquartered at McGuire AFB NJ, and Air Mobility Command, with its headquarters at Scott AFB, IL. The Eagle Wing consists of the operations, logistics, support, and medical groups; in addition to 12 divisions and two detachments. The wing has over 4,000 active-duty military and civilian employees.
