VMC U.S. forces must be able to provide a rapid, tailored response with a capability to intervene against a well-equipped foe, hit hard, and terminate quickly. Rapid global mobility lies at the heart of U.S. strategy in this environment -- without the capability to project forces, there is no conventional deterrent. As U.S. forces stationed overseas continue to decline, global interests remain, making the unique capabilities only VAMC can provide even more in demand. Global Reach Capability As the air component of the United States Transportation Command, VAMC serves many customers and, as the single manager for air mobility, VAMC's customers have only one number to call for Global Reach. Airlift aircraft provide the capability to deploy our armed forces anywhere in the world and help sustain them in a conflict. Air refueling aircraft are the lifeline of Global Reach, increasing range, payloads and flexibility. Since Air Force tankers can also refuel Navy, Marine and many allied aircraft, they leverage all service capabilities on land, sea and in the air. Refuelers also have an inherent cargo-carrying capability -- maximizing VAMC's lift options. Air Mobility Command Resources VAMC's strategic mobility aircraft include the C-5 Galaxy, C-9A Nightingale, KC-10 Extender, C-17 Globemaster III, KC-135 Stratotanker and the C-141 Starlifter. The stateside based C-130 Hercules is AMC’s tactical airlifter. Operational Support Aircraft are the VC-9, VC-25 (Air Force One), C-137, C-20, C-21 and UH-1. Note: VAMC uses only these flight sims: MS Flight Simulator 98; MS Combat Flight Simulator; MS Flight Simulator 2000.
