America’s ability to deliver its military force anywhere in the world in a matter of hours remains a key asymmetric advantage that its adversaries just cannot match. This is a maneuver on a global scale. The backbone of America’s maneuver force is the men, women, and aircraft who, often behind the scenes, enable our nation’s military success. Major General Corey Martin (U.S. Air Force retired) underwrote these successes for over three decades, flying in enemy skies and serving in command headquarters, and will illuminate this vital but often overlooked facet of national security.
