During #AFANational, Gen Lamontagne sat down with Air and Space Forces Magazine to discuss the future of Air Mobility Command. “You can only train with what you have. We, the headquarters, are going to work those acquisition pieces and eventually provide that capability. But if it doesn’t deliver until tomorrow, figuratively, it doesn’t help those squadrons tonight. So we’re going to focus on tonight.” Learn more about Gen Gen. Johnny Lamontagne and his priorities for the early days of his command. https://lnkd.in/gS-PXEuK

After more than four decades of dedicated service, the KC-10 Extender took its final flight. Since its introduction in the early 1980s, the KC-10 has been at the heart of global reach for the U.S. Air Force and its allies, ensuring that our nation's aircraft and personnel were fueled and ready to accomplish their mission anytime, anywhere. From Operations Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, and countless other missions, this aircraft has been a cornerstone of power projection for the United States and our global partners. However, the KC-10's story is about more than just the aircraft. It's about the thousands of dedicated Airmen—pilots, maintainers, aircrew, and support teams—who worked tirelessly behind the scenes. You ensured that “Big Sexy” continued to extend America’s reach, no matter the challenge or distance. Thank you for your dedication, service, and the legacy you’ve built that will inspire future generations of mobility Airmen. Though the KC-10 may be retiring, AMC’s commitment to global reach remains as strong as ever, as we move forward with the next generation of air refueling platforms.
