MAKING SURE ALL SYSTEMS ARE MISSION READY

Executing any flight is very meticulous, and it’s our Mobility Force Aviators who keep everything in perfect working order. They make sure aircraft are properly loaded, inspected and equipped for missions. They also command aircrew through every step of the process—from briefing to landing.

• Review tasks, intelligence and weather information to prepare for missions
• Make sure aircraft is preflighted and manned for every mission
• Monitor and operate aircraft and engine systems controls
• Conduct and supervise mission‑specific training
