"Victory will ride on your shoulders," Minihan said. "And the most important thing is unrepentant deaths. If we do that, America's peace, prosperity and prestige will be preserved and strengthened."
Minihan said it requires a series of decisions to ensure the joint force can win now against a pacing competitor, including changes to current tactics, techniques and procedures; advances in technologies; and implementation ofAgile combat employmentand Multi-Capable Airmen concepts. He also challenged the Mobility Air Forces to adopt a Warrior Heart mindset to be prepared to face the realities of the lethality the MAF would deliver in an advanced combat scenario.
This sentiment was echoed by additional senior Defense Department officials throughout the conference.
"In the president's recently releasedNational Security Strategy, he made it clear that China and Russia are working overtime to undermine democracy and export a model of government characterized by repression at home and coercion abroad,” he said.Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost, commander ofUS Transportation Commandunder herremarks. "To meet the national defense objectives, we must adopt the mentality that challenge is not synonymous with impossible and contentious is not the same as impenetrable ... This is the component of the Warrior Heart that the AMC chief is so passionate about."
Minihan treated the symposium as a three-day commander's call, where he revealedMobility Manifesto, a conceptual framework that focuses on how to organize, train, and equip current and future airmen and their tools to deal with the crisis of global authoritarian aggression. It demonstrates the adaptive nature mobility brings to the current battle and the critical maneuverability it will bring to the next, while highlighting the significant risk to the joint force of inaction.
"Without air mobility, there is no meaningful maneuver," the document states. "Without air mobility, there is no lethality. Without air mobility, the joint force cannot project power and deliver deterrence."
Two key seminars,Mobility Fight ClubandMobility Air Force Next Generation Operations, provided a deeper look at a potential high-end battle and provided insight into how AMC will lead in tackling global and theater challenges in an enterprise-wide campaign to protect, connect and sustain meaningful maneuver for the joint force.
Minihan said AMC's premiere exercise, Mobility Guardian 2023, which will take place in the Indo-Pacific region, will test the MAF company's concept of operations in a potential high-end battle.
Senior leaders throughout the Air Force emphasized that the success of the overall joint mission is not possible without first leveraging agile, resilient, survivable and sustainable forces from the MAF.
