The Air Mobility Warfare Center at Fort Dix, N.J., is spreading the work about its introductory interactive distance-learning air mobility operations course. Officials say the online course has gotten rave reviews, commenting about its “outside the box” approach and “big picture” attitude. It has take the place of a two-week, in-residence course that cost about $2,000 per student, say Air Mobility Command officials.
U.S. Air Force F-35s and F-22s regularly deploy deep into the Pacific region from Alaska, Utah, and Hawaii. In the future, though, the head of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command would like to see the Air Force permanently station fifth-generation aircraft west of the international date line—closer to China.
