Torres supports the procurement mission of the 374th Contracting Squadron (FA5209) under the Department of the Air Force, ensuring operational readiness at U.S. military installations in Japan through the acquisition of critical facility, logistics, and maintenance services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on infrastructure sustainment, transportation support, and facility management, aligning with the agency’s mandate to maintain safe, compliant, and mission-critical environments for personnel and equipment across geographically dispersed units.
