Gregory Kreuder, commander 19th Air Force, and Chief Master Sgt. Keith Scott, command chief 19th Air Force, discuss aircraft engine maintenance at the Jet Engine Intermediate Maintenance section at Morris Air National Guard Base, Ariz., Aug. 19, 2025. While most units only have one engine type, the 162nd JEIM has a dual configuration that supports simultaneous maintenance on both General Electric and Pratt & Whitney engines. By sustaining two fully equipped support sections, the wing maintains unmatched flexibility to support multiple F-16 blocks and diverse mission requirements.
