USTRANSCOM commander visits USS Abraham Lincoln at sea
While U.S. Air Force Gen. Duncan J. McNabb, commander, USTRANSCOM, and members of his staff were on board, Lincoln's crew demonstrated the logistics of passenger and cargo transportation via carrier on board delivery as well as how flights are briefed and provided a tour of the ship.
"You're doing an amazing job out here. Those of us at TRANSCOM know what it's like to be a resource needed on a global scale, and aircraft carriers are a great example of the Navy promoting stability and maritime security operations around the globe," said McNabb.
USTRANSCOM is responsible for creating and implementing worldwide global deployment and distribution solutions in support of the Department of Defense and regional combatant commanders by orchestrating transportation options.
The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is deployed in the U.S. 5th Fleet Area of Responsibility, conducting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts to establish conditions for regional stability.
