The Air Mobility Rodeo was a biennial, international airlift competition hosted by the United States Air Force (USAF) Air Mobility Command (AMC). AMC gathers wings from active duty, reserve, and Air National Guard units from across the United States and around the world to test and improve tactics in a competitive environment. In this environment units are able to demonstrate capabilities, improve procedures, compare notes, and enhance standardization for global operations.
The final Air Mobility Rodeo was held at McChord Air Force Base, during July 2011. The USAF decided to replace it with a new AMC exercise called Mobility Guardian. The first Mobility Guardian exercise took place 30 July to 12 August 2017 at JB Lewis-McChord[1]
