Lt. Gen. John Healy, chief of the Air Force Reserve and commander of Air Force Reserve Command, delivers his keynote address during the Airlift/Tanker Association Symposium in Denver, Colorado, Oct. 29, 2022. Healy shared stories of how Total Force Reserve Airmen have contributed and continue to contribute to the global air mobility mission, including through past exercises like Valiant Shield and the upcoming Mobility Guardian 2023, as well as operations like Operation Allies Refuge. “The mobility enterprise is key to maneuver, which is integral to our theory of victory in the Pacific, as is on-demand operationally relevant strategic depth,” said. Healy. This year’s symposium brought together 1,600 Air Force senior leaders, industry partners, media, partner nations representatives, and Airmen with mobility equities, to include Airmen from Air Force Special Operations Command and Air Force Education Command. The open environment drove discussion on issues and challenges facing America and the Air Mobility community at large, with a specific focus on the Indo-Pacific area of responsibility and the mobility joint force requirements that will yield safety and security for the nation.
