Air Team
1947 - 1990

The Air Element, USMLM, euphemistically referred to as the Air Team was comprised of USAF personnel performing in similar capacities and functions to Ground and NavRep sections including Liaison Officers, "Tour" NCOs, and support staff. Since USMLM was not a Joint unit, Air Team personnel were actually administratively assigned to specified USAFE numbered units and operationally attached to USMLM.
