This immersion deepened Lohmeier's understanding of how AMC's Rapid Global Mobility mission underpins all other Joint Force missions, particularly in the key areas of Airmen, Mission, and Commitment as outlined by AMC Commander Gen. Johnny Lamontagne.

Lohmeier also discussed successes and challenges with AMC staff.

"Hearing directly from our staff representatives is critical for my understanding, not only of the outstanding work these organizations do, but also of some of the hurdles we as a department face," Lohmeier said. "These authentic discussions help me wrap my arms how I might better provide the resources and guidance they need to accomplish their critical mission."
