Which Air Force core function is associated with AFDP 3-36 Air Mobility Operations?

• A. Fires
• B. Global Mobility
• C. Command and Control
• D. ISR

Answer: (B)

Global Mobility focuses on moving people, equipment, and supplies where and when they’re needed, using airlift, air refueling, aeromedical evacuation, and related activities. AFDP 3-36 Air Mobility Operations describes how these mobility tasks are planned, conducted, and supported to enable global reach and sustainment. That alignment makes Global Mobility the best fit for the core function associated with this publication.

Fires deals with delivering offensive strike and suppression capabilities; ISR covers intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; Command and Control centers on directing and coordinating operations. While all are essential, the mobility publication specifically addresses moving and sustaining forces, which is the definition of Global Mobility.
