The 86th Vehicle Readiness Squadron performs maintenance on the largest fleet of vehicles in the Air Force, with more than 2,000 vehicles in their care. They service more than 50 government vehicles a day. Approximately 40 members of the general purpose light shop work hard year-round to provide premier full-service vehicle operations and management support to members of Team Ramstein and associate units across Europe and Africa.
