The vitality of joint logistics cannot rest solely on the shoulders of our logisticians. We must all ensure it receives proper consideration throughout conflict, lest it be the cause of premature culmination on the battlefield.

Incredible trip, incredible people! I don't often get the opportunity to visit our overseas teams, so I am thankful for every moment spent shaking hands and chatting with these top-tier service members - they are the linchpin to USTRANSCOM's ability to deliver across the globe.

Truly an honor to speak with Lt Col (Ret) James Harvey, III, an original Tuskegee Airmen. We’re the world’s greatest Air Force because of trailblazing heroes like him, who made an indelible impact on our @usairforce and ultimately shaped the future of our nation. #OSH22   #AF75

Camp Arifjan's resolute sustainment and logistics professionals keep the mission moving without skipping a beat! In such a dynamic hub - with warfighters and supplies flowing in and out of theater - they routinely operate impressively, always remaining agile and responsive.

Col. Dan Hilferty has led brilliantly throughout his @usairforce tenure - I'm excited to see him step into this new role of Commander's Action Group Chief, shaping @US_TRANSCOM engagements at the most strategic levels! I have no doubt the CAG will soar with his leadership.

After 32 years, we furled the Joint Transportation Reserve Unit (JTRU) flag and ushered in a new era of agility in Reserve support. @US_TRANSCOM ’s ability to project and sustain power wherever, whenever, would be impossible without our 80k+ Reserve members. #TogetherWeDeliver

I am immensely proud of this aircrew and all of our Total Force Mobility Airmen supporting the evacuation. This is an important part of what we do – be the wingspan of hope for the souls we carry.

#Mobility #Airmen have been called to support @fema ’s distribution of aid to those impacted by the severe winter storms in #Texas . Delivering hope is what AMC Airmen do best - even at a moment’s notice. To all those impacted by these storms, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Imperfection is not incompetence. Continuously hounding yourself about yesterday... about the accomplishments of others… perpetuates self-doubt. It will rob you and your unit of the best talent - and shortchange yourself and the mission. #JWLS2022

Even as a senior leader, I look up to those before me - those who paved the way.  Eileen Collins impacted my career from the start. Since my time at @AF_Academy , I wanted to be just like her! She showed me what was possible, what it meant to reach for the stars. #OSH22   #AF75

Strategic competition requires all of us to focus on creatively innovating and experimenting with new solutions to get after more effective ways to deliver. This fantastic work by the 621st CRW Devil Raiders and @AFResearchLab is exactly what I'm talking about!

Increasing agility and decreasing expense! 💥 #DYK : The 621st CRW partnered with @AFResearchLab to test the Vertical Pallet Stacker system prototype in an effort to save $22K per sortie and increase the capacity for cargo pallets by stacking them on the aircraft floor 📦

Great discussion at the Total Force Integration Symposium. The joint logistics enterprise cannot operate effectively without the efforts of our fully integrated, Total Force team. Active, Guard, Reserve, Civilian, and Contractors all play an indispensable role in mission success.

Undoubtedly, @US_TRANSCOM 's enterprise will play an increasingly critical role in achieving our national defense objectives. To succeed, we must adopt the mentality that challenge is not synonymous with impossible and contested is not the same as impenetrable.

Touchdown at #OSH22 ! The Moose is capable of delivering hope and strength anywhere, anytime - it's more than earned its accolades. But, it’s the Airmen behind the controls and wrenches who truly make it “Mighty”.  #AF75

I'm so proud to have Airmen like SrA Rigel Lockett and A1C Kerensa Williams in our Air Force and our command. They helped contain a C-17 fire last week at Joint Base Charleston and protected base personnel from harm. Great job!
