Medical Enlisted Corps

The Air Force’s Medical Enlisted Corps is made up of approximately 34,000 highly trained Total Force Airmen and professionals who are dedicated to caring for Airmen and their families around the world.

From emergency medicine and mental health to diagnostics, dental care, aerospace physiology, and medical logistics, these enlisted specialists ensure our force stays healthy, ready, and mission-capable.

Whether serving in hospitals, clinics, or deployed environments, members of the Medical Enlisted Corps deliver expert care, advanced technical skills, and unwavering support that keeps the Air Force operating at its best.

“Our medics are the heart of this mission. As leaders, it’s our duty to cultivate their potential, provide them with the tools they need, and show them that their efforts are the foundation of our success. Let’s carry this momentum forward - together.”

– U.S. Air Force CMSgt James M. Woods, Medical Enlisted Force and Enlisted Corps Chief
