1. Aeromedical Evacuation Legacy Team Marker

Inscription. Aeromedical evacuation is a core mission of Air Mobility Command and major component of its proud heritage. Evacuating injured personnel using fixed and rotary wing aircraft revolutionized the rapid transport of casualties from areas with inadequate or no medical care. The aeromedical evacuation legacy team exemplifies this vital mission and the total force concept transparent in today's mobility air forces. Lt. General Paul Carlton, Col. Dennis "Bud" Traynor, Col. Regina Aune, Col. Robert "Bob" Brannon, Col Jay Johannigman, 1LT. Reba Whittle Tobiason, CMSGT. Rodney Christa, and MSGT Mark McElroy, epitomize the thousands of AE professionals who continue to give hope to all in harms way. The vision and dedication exhibited by these individuals advance performance to a level where "no one else come close."

Erected 2007 by Airlift/Tanker Association Hall of Fame.
