Air Mobility Command (AMC) is a major command (MAJCOM) of the United States Air Force. AMC is one of ten major commands (MAJCOMs), reporting to Headquarters, United States Air Force (HQ USAF).

AMC is headquartered at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. Its commander is General Arthur J. Lichte, with Lieutenant General Christopher A. Kelly as Vice-commander, and Chief Master Sergeant Joseph E. Barron as Command Chief Master Sergeant.

AMC is the air force component of United States Transportation Command, and provides airlift, special missions, aerial refueling, and aeromedical evacuation for U.S. troops.

AMC also provides alert aerial refueling aircraft to United States Strategic Command, and is a provider of theater airlift, aerial refueling, and aeromedical evacuation forces to regional Unified Commands. AMC also operates VIP flights such as Air Force One.

AMC was formed in 1992 from the transport assets of the then-recently deactivated Military Airlift and Strategic Air Commands.

AMC has the mission of establishing bare air bases in contingencies. To accomplish this mission, AMC established two Contingency Response Wings, and operates the Eagle Flag exercise.

Aircraft assets of the command include: C-17 Globemaster III, C-5 Galaxy, C-141 Starlifter, C-130 Hercules, KC-135 Stratotanker, KC-10 Extender, and C-9 Nightingale. Additional long-range airlift aircraft are available during national emergencies through the Civil Reserve Air Fleet, a fleet of commercial aircraft committed to support the transportation of military forces and material in times of crisis.
