Air mobility airmen are honing their battlefield skills in increasing numbers at the Air Mobility Warfare Center at Ft. Dix, N.J., where Air Mobility Command focuses its advanced education, training, and testing activities. Disciplines at the school are divided up into five courses—mobility weapons school, mobility operations school, expeditionary operations school, air mobility Battlelab, and the resources directorate. The center opened its doors in May 1994 and has expanded to host 59 courses and 5,000 in-resident students and more than 7,000 distance-learning students each year.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
