This paper focuses on the strategic mobility aspect of Global Reach-Global Power, and more specifically the role of air refueling in accomplishing the US power projection strategy. No aircraft in the Air Force inventory is capable of responsive global power projection without air refueling. The Air Force’s tanker fleet is the cornerstone of Global Reach-Global Power. Air refueling serves as a force multiplier, increasing the speed, range, lethality, flexibility, and versatility of combat aircraft.
