Air mobility is the rapid movement of personnel, materiel, and forces to and from, or within, a theater by air. This includes both airlift and air refueling (AR). The air mobility network combines airlift, AR, aeromedical evacuation (AE), and air mobility support assets, processes, and procedures to support the transport of personnel and materiel. Rapid global mobility is the timely movement, positioning, and sustainment of military forces and capabilities across the range of military operations.
