ASIC Working Groups

Air Mobility

ASIC Working Definition:

Air Mobility is the rapid movement of personnel, materiel and forces to and from a theatre of operations (Strategic airlift) and within that theatre (Tactical Airlift) by air.

Description:

This capability generally includes both airlift and air refueling operations and covers the movement from onload to offload. Because this concept concerns administrative mobility functions, it includes the airlift missions of passenger and cargo movement. It does not include combat employment and sustainment or special operations support missions (which we consider to be Force Application).

Desired Interoperability:

The focus is personnel and equipment interoperability to maintain flexibility and accomplish the mission through a high level of agreed doctrine, procedures and training.
