The 18th Maintenance Operation Center (MOC) is part of the 18th Wing located on Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan. The mission of the 18th Wing is to deliver unmatched combat airpower and a forward-staging base to provide sovereign options that promote peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, ensure the common defense of our allies, and enhance the United States’ unparalleled global engagement capability.  As the largest combat wing in the Air Force, operating out of the largest Air Force installation in the Pacific, the 18th Wing is ideally suited to accomplish these critical  objectives and the 18th MOC sustains the mission every step of the way. The 18th Maintenance Operations Center (MOC), sustains and enables the 18th Wing’s current fleet of aircraft which represents a broad spectrum of combat capability — F-15C/D air-to-air fighters, KC-135 air refueling  tankers, E-3 AWACS airborne command and control aircraft, and the HH-60 Pave Hawk combat search and rescue helicopters. This robust fleet of aircraft allows the Wing to deter potential threats in the region and quickly respond to any contingency.   All in a day’s work for The World’s Greatest MOC!
