How the Expeditionary Center Is Shaping ACE and the Future Fight

Join us for a virtual fireside chat with Maj. Gen. John Klein, commander of the U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center and AFA Executive Vice President Maj. Gen. Doug Raaberg, USAF (Ret.) on Aug. 3 at 8:30 a.m. ET. The conversation will take place on the heels of the largest-ever full-spectrum readiness event in Air Mobility Command’s history.

Mobility Guardian 23 included some 3,000 U.S. and allied forces supporting more than 15,000 U.S. and international forces exercising across the Indo-Pacific, with detachments from the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand. We’ll dig into some of the lessons learned from this historic exercise, how the Expeditionary Center is helping to shape agile combat employment operations, and discuss the role mobility forces will play in a future contested and degraded environment.

The U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center, led by Klein, is the Air Force’s Center of Excellence for Expeditionary Agile Combat Support and Rapid Global Mobility training and education.
