A message from the USTRANSCOM commander celebrating the MTMC anniversary
Since the war on terrorism began and through today’s buildup in the Persian Gulf region, you are out front before battle lines are drawn, moving our forces and their equipment where needed, then sustaining them for the duration. You bring aid to the victims of natural disasters and oppressive regimes. You are a critical part of an unrivaled global defense transportation system central to meeting our nation’s strategic goals.
The road ahead brings us to even greater challenges. You will continue to meet those challenges based on your legacy of professionalism, innovation, dedication, and customer service as you continue to set new industry standards every day.
To each of you, and your families, I express my profound gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices you make so that all Americans can enjoy the blessings of freedom.
JOHN W. HANDY
Commander, USAF
