The Director of Mobility Forces and Command and Control of Airlift

The Air Force reorganization in 1992 changed the way in which airlift forces were organized, commanded and deployed. The reorganization eliminated the Airlift Divisions and created two airlift systems. The theater cargo aircraft were assigned to the theater commanders or to Air Combat Command. The strategic aircraft and support assets were assigned to Air Mobility Command. Both airlift systems must function together during a contingency to provide cargo movement. This project identifies a problem with the command of the airlift system and proposes a solution.
