Air Mobility CommandRCH/ MC

Air Mobility Command (AMC) is the United States Air Force's major command responsible for providing airlift, air refueling, and aeromedical evacuation support to U.S. military operations worldwide. Established in 1992 through the reorganization of Military Airlift Command, AMC operates from its headquarters at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois and maintains a global network of bases and partnerships to support American military objectives and humanitarian missions. The command operates a diverse fleet of military transport and tanker aircraft that serve as the backbone of U.S. force projection capabilities, conducting both routine logistics missions and rapid-response operations across all geographic combatant commands. AMC plays a critical role in strategic airlift, aerial refueling, and medical evacuation, often coordinating with allied air forces and civilian contractors to supplement its operational capacity. While primarily focused on military operations, AMC has also been instrumental in disaster relief, humanitarian aid, and non-combatant evacuation operations throughout its history.
