The U.S. Air Force Expeditionary Center's Mobility Operations School is Air Mobility Command's nominee for the 2008 Frank G. Brewer Trophy, according to an AMC announcement Jan. 28 from AMC Headquarters.

"The entire team at the Mobility Operations School can take great prind in its selection as it represents Air Mobility Command in this competition," said Gen. Arthur J. Lichte in the announcement.

"The U.S. Air Force Mobility Operations School makes contributions to both Air Mobility Command and the Global War on Terrorism by producing the most highly qualified mobility experts to support the mobility air forces worldwide," General Lichte said. "We wish the men and women of the Mobility Operations School the best as they compete at the national level."

According to the USAF EC fact sheet, the Mobility Operations School is the Air Force Center of Excellence dedicated to prepare every graduate to perform their mission by educating, training and exercising Department of Defense personnel in the full range of expeditionary operations. 

Using both resident and Web-based instructional media, the MOS offers 57 courses, including the Director of Mobility Forces Course and the Advanced Study of Air Mobility Intermediate Developmental Education and graduate program. Other courses cover topics in operations, tactics, intelligence, transportation, maintenance, aircrew resource management, and command and control from both a global and theater perspective. In addition, the MOS sponsors a range of exercises, including the futures wargame GLOMO, and the mobility piece of Joint Readiness Training at Fort Polk, La. 

Finally, the MOS is the USAF EC's focal point for instructor and curriculum development and student logistical support.
