Air Mobility Command Providing Global Reach Or Reaching To Be Global

The Air Force has invested heavily in the concept of 'global reach' for the Air Mobility Command and the nation. This paper will examine this concept, provide a snapshot of the Air Mobility Command's current capabilities to meet the country's political, economic, and global military needs, assess where the command appears to be heading (both in terms of equipment and personnel), and make suggested corrections the Air Mobility Command and the nation can make in order to facilitate meeting future global logistical challenges.
