AIR FORCE MARS: Providing the Reins of Command--in Emergencies

Welcome to the US Air Force MARS North Central Area Home Page. This site was formerly the USAF MARS Region 3 web site but has been transformed due the restructuring/reorganization of the USAF MARS program which occured January 1, 2008. Under the new structure and organization, North Central Area comprizes portions of the previous Region 3 and Region 1.

The mission of this site is to provide a source of timely information, links to other MARS sites, links to the Information on North Central Area Digital Operations, links to USAF MARS Training material, the Area and Region Emergency Plans, current contact information for Area and Region and other MARS Officials. In addition there are several links to sites that would be of interest to prospective, current, and former Air Force members, as well as all current members of US Air Force MARS, and amateur radio operators in general.

North Central Area consists of Region V (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin) and Region VII (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska) as show in the map below.
