Gen. Duncan McNabb, head of Air Mobility Command, presided over a ceremony this week at Ft, Dix, N.J., renaming the former Air Mobility Warfare Center the “Air Force Expeditionary Center.” AMC activated the AMWC on May 1, 1994, and streamlined and reorganized it in 2003. McNabb said the decision to change the name of the center came from other decisions, such as aligning all warfare centers under one center and realizing this one shouldn’t be ‘air mobility.’
The U.S. military is maintaining a beefed-up presence in the Middle East, including fighters and air defense assets, following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities June 22 and subsequent retaliation by the Iranians against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
