The 11th Aerospace Medicine Squadron (11th AMDS) is composed of six flights including Flight Medicine, Public Health, Optometry, Bioenvironmental Engineering, Aerospace Physiology, and the Aeromedical Staging Facility. The Aeromedical Staging Facility reintegrates Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen by providing care for critically injured patients who require stabilization, advanced trauma resuscitation, and surgical intervention prior to transport to a definitive care facility. The Aerospace Physiology Flight has one of only 11 altitude chambers in the Air Force and the only one located in the Northeast region. Highly trained aerospace medics train and equip aircrew and senior leaders on performance enhancement and fatigue management.
