The Continued Evolution of the Air Mobility Command

Abstract

The Air Force has invested heavily in rapid global mobility to support execution of America's strategic operational plans. This paper will examine today's force structure and its ability to meet the ever growing challenges. This paper will also synopsize Air Mobility Command's (AMC) past missions and the search to determine the true requirements for the airlift fleet. The results of my research will provide a flight path for the future AMC as it continues to transform to meet our nation's power projection challenges.
