Commander’s Intent Commander’s Intent As we enter the seventh year of the long war on terrorism, the men and women of the Mobility Air Forces continue to perform absolutely magnificently…you should be proud of your many outstanding accomplishments. You have been in a constant surge since the very beginning of this conflict yet also understand that the war will not end soon and we must continue this high level of effort. During this time of war, you have built the best air mobility capability that the world has ever seen—and are working hard every day to make it even better. You have transformed air mobility operations to meet the needs of the warfighters and maintain our advantage over our adversaries. The road ahead will certainly be filled with unforeseen and significant challenges. The future security environment will continue to evolve; our armed forces must be prepared to prevail against irregular forces, terrorists, or insurgents as well as defeat technologically advanced conventional forces. Along with the unknowns, we can also expect certain trends to continue; our adversaries will continue to employ asymmetrical methods to counter our seemingly overwhelming military capabilities, increasingly lethal and effective weapons will continue to proliferate around the globe, weapons of mass destruction will become more widespread, and we will have decreased access to overseas bases. Just as modern warfare is changing, the Air Force, along with the other services, continues its evolution to become leaner, more lethal, and increasingly agile. Our armed forces will become increasingly mobile, yet dependent upon air mobility forces for rapid deployment and responsive battlefield sustainment. We can be certain air mobility will be absolutely critical to projecting US power around the globe in pursuit of our national interests. My intent for the future is straightforward and clear—fight and win the war on terrorism while we prepare the Mobility Air Forces for the next conflict. To do that, we must take care of our Airmen and their families, and recapitalize and modernize our equipment. The Air Mobility Warrior The real strength behind our readiness and our combat capability is our exceptional men and women—Air Mobility Warriors who have met the Nation’s call. Winning this war, and those that may likely follow, requires us to develop our Airmen; whether active duty, Guard, Reserve, or civilian. We must recruit and retain the very best; instill the warrior ethos in their fiber; give them the best possible training and equipment; and take care of them and their families. In these days of continued high operations tempo, we must remain sensitive to quality of life concerns. The stress on our people is high, and it plays 2 OCT 07
