"Mobility Warriors,
The bravery, professionalism, and adaptability displayed by the men and women of Air Mobility Command over the past few days were and continue to be awe-inspiring. When our nation called, you maneuvered the joint force forward within hours. You bolstered the capability to secure Kabul International Airport in a rapidly changing environment, facilitating swift movement of people and equipment. These actions were inspirational and only made possible by a team of thousands of dedicated Total Force Mobility Airmen worldwide.
I want to make clear you have my trust and confidence through the challenging days ahead. You are the worldโs best trained and most capable air mobility force. Your leadership understands these unprecedented circumstances, and we will empower and support you as you continue to transport Americans and Afghan partners out of harmโs way. Remember, disciplined OPSEC is vital for all Airmen as information can have immediate and negative strategic impacts, particularly in the digital age, putting operations at risk.
I am impressed by the courageous, can-do spirit our force continues to demonstrate. This Mobility Warrior spirit gives me confidence that we will continue safely delivering for our nation. I am proud to serve alongside you as we live our vision, Air Mobility Warriors Projecting Decisive Strength and Delivering Hopeโฆ Always!"
- Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost, AMC Commander
