Strategic air mobility is traditionally viewed as a support or enhancement force. As such, it serves to support combat forces, through their deployment and sustainment, as the combat forces seek to achieve national security objectives through lethal means. US Air Force doctrine recognizes air mobility forces only as an Â"enhancementÂ" force, and additionally, US military command relations are established between combatant commands that almost always relegate the mobility commander to the supporting role. Air mobility can, and has, performed missions that do not support traditional combat operations. These operations represent the direct application of nonlethal airpower to achieve national security objectives.
