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.”
Under Secretary of the Air Force Matt Lohmeier is briefed by Maj. Kristin Drell, Air Mobility Command Surgeon General manpower and equipment force packaging system branch chief, during a luncheon at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., Sept. 15, 2025. Lohmeier’s visit allowed U.S. Transportation Command and Air Mobility Command senior leaders along with Airmen the opportunity to highlight how the commands are ready to project, maneuver and sustain the joint force anytime, anywhere in support of national objectives.

Lohmeier’s visit allowed USTRANSCOM and AMC senior leaders and Airmen the opportunity to highlight how the commands are ready to project, maneuver and sustain the joint force anytime, anywhere in support of national objectives.
Lohmeier departed Scott AFB to visit the Boeing plant in St. Louis, to learn about the Next Generation fighter.
