Air Mobility Command (AMC), activated June
1, 1992, provides rapid global mobility, aerial refueling,
aeromedical evacuation and air mobility support to the United States
and its allies. Headquartered at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, AMC
is one of 10 major Air Force commands ... and became the oldest
major command in the Air Force after its consolidation with Military
Air Command, with its combined history associated with the
establishment of the Air Corps Ferrying Command on May 29, 1941.
As the air component of the U.S.
Transportation Command, AMC is comprised of a Total Force effort to
execute Rapid Global Mobility and enable Global Reach with the
ability to respond anywhere in the world in a matter of hours. This
is accomplished through AMC’s four core mission areas... Airlift,
Air Refueling, Air Mobility Support and Aeromedical Evacuation.
AMC also provides... support to the nuclear
enterprise; capability to deploy U.S. armed forces anywhere in the
world within hours and help sustain them in a conflict; and,
supports presidential and senior leader airlift.
