Time to Take Action: A Plan to Improve AMC's Warfighting Support for the Combatant Commander by Re-Allocating C-17 Assets in Support of the

By Bryan E. Miller

There are many issues addressed in this paper concerning AMC airlift provided in support of White House. Current and future airlift capacity does not allow Air Mobility Command (AMC) to provide the President of the United States (POTUS) a level of airlift support commensurate with his national and international commitments without significantly impacting warfighting capability. The primary purpose of this paper is to recommend a plan to improve Air Mobility Command's warfighting support for the Combatant Commander's by re-allocating C-17 assets. This research specifically addresses Special Assignment Airlift Missions (SAAMs) that fall under the labels of Phoenix Banner (Presidential), Phoenix Silver (Vice-Presidential), Phoenix Copper (First Lady and other VIP's as directed), and missions that are flown to directly support these missions typically labeled as AMC "Support Missions."
