The 37th Air Expeditionary Group (37th AEG) is a provisional unit of the United States Air Force assigned to Air Combat Command. Its history traces back to World War II, when it was originally activated as the 37th Bombardment Group in 1940, flying B-18 Bolo and later B-25 Mitchell bombers in the Caribbean and Panama Canal Zone for antisubmarine patrols. The unit was inactivated in 1943 but has been reactivated multiple times in a provisional status to support various contingency operations, including deployments in support of the Global War on Terrorism. Today, the 37th AEG is activated as needed to provide flexible, rapid-response airpower for expeditionary missions worldwide.

The 3703rd Basic Military Training Squadron (BMTS) was a unit of the United States Air Force responsible for conducting basic military training for new enlisted airmen. Stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, the 3703 BMTS played a crucial role in shaping recruits into disciplined and capable airmen throughout the latter half of the 20th century. The squadron provided foundational instruction in military customs, physical fitness, and Air Force core values. In the 1990s, as part of an organizational restructuring, the 3703 BMTS was inactivated and its training responsibilities were consolidated into other training squadrons at Lackland.
