SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. --  Air Mobility Command welcomed its new vice commander this week and quickly saw him promoted to lieutenant general in a ceremony here.

"This is an amazing command full of incredible Airmen who make a difference every day. I'm honored and humbled to have this opportunity to serve as vice commander as we focus on winning today's fight, taking care of our people, and preparing for tomorrow's challenges," said Lt. Gen. Vern "Rusty" Findley II.

"The pride, professionalism, and passion for excellence of our great team in AMC has been clearly evident to me while I've been out in the joint community the past few years" General Findley said after his promotion ceremony June 23. "My pledge is to do all I can to help to continuously improve how we do headquarters business so we can best meet the needs of our units and the increasingly demanding requirements of our war-fighting and humanitarian missions."

General Findley and his wife, Sandy, come to AMC Headquarters from MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., where he served as U.S. Central Command's director of Strategy, Plans and Policy. He succeeds Lt. Gen. Christopher Kelly, who retired in a ceremony here June 20, after 34 years of service.
