Which of the following is NOT a function of the Air Mobility Division?

• A. Aeromedical Evacuation
• B. Air Refueling
• C. Air Traffic Control
• D. Airlift Control

Answer: (C)

Mobility operations center around moving people and cargo by air, coordinating the assets that enable rapid and flexible air movement. In that realm, aeromedical evacuation moves patients to care facilities, air refueling extends the reach of both combat and support missions, and airlift control plans and executes the movement of troops and materiel from one place to another. Air Traffic Control, on the other hand, is about safely sequencing and separating aircraft in the air and coordinating their flight paths with controllers on the ground and in the sky. That function belongs to airspace and flight operations, not to the mobility side that plans and executes movement of people and supplies. So, while the Mobility Division handles evacuation, refueling, and airlift planning and execution, Air Traffic Control is not a function it performs.
