Col. Michael Garrott, center, 521st Air Mobility Operations Wing deputy commander, gives a mission brief to United States Air Force Academy cadets at the 521 AMOW headquarters building July 8, 2024, on Ramstein Air Base, Germany. During their two and a half weeks visit to Ramstein, USAFA cadets stopped by the 521 AMOW to learn about the wing’s mission and how it provides Rapid Global Mobility to the European, African, and Middle Eastern theaters and tour a C-17 Globemaster III. During the summer, cadets at the Air Force Academy get to participate in the Operations Air Force training program, where they visit more than 40 bases worldwide to get a glimpse into the operational Air Force.
