Global air mobility is an American invention. During the twentieth century, other nations developed capabilities to transport supplies and personnel by air to support deployed military forces. But only the United States mustered the resources and will to create a global transport force and aerial refueling aircraft capable of moving air and ground combat forces of all types to anywhere in the world and supporting them in continuous combat operations. Whether contemplating a bomber campaign or halting another surprise attack, American war planners have depended on transport and tanker aircraft.

The Air Mobility Command (AMC) has faced a host of challenges in recent years that compromise its ability to cost-effectively fulfill the dual goals of meeting peacetime demand and maintaining wartime readiness. This report compares the peacetime tempo of air mobility operations during the Cold War with that of the post-Cold War period in efforts to pinpoint the challenges AMC faces as well as to suggest corrective measures that AMC should take to address these challenges.
