AMC Order of the Sword

Command Chief Master Sgt. Joe Barron, Air Mobility Command?s top enlisted manager, presents Gen. Arthur Lichte, AMC commander, with a plague this week notifying the general of his nomination for induction into the AMC Order of the Sword. The Order of the Sword is patterned after an order of chivalry founded during the Middle Ages -- the Swedish Royal Order of the Sword. Ancient noncommissioned officers would honor their leaders and pledge their loyalty by ceremoniously presenting the leaders with a sword. The sword -- a symbol of truth, justice and power rightfully used -- served as a token of esteemed leadership.
