U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. David Schnabel, 8th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron first sergeant, is welcomed home from a deployment by a loved one at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, April 4, 2023. This deployment was the 62d Airlift Wing's first under the new Air Force Force Generation Model in support of U.S. Central Command, U.S. European Command and U.S. Africa Command operations. The new AFFORGEN model aims to reconstitute Air Mobility Command's manpower, aircraft and equipment into force elements that train, deploy and recover as cohesive units throughout each phase of the cycle.
