The enlisted force of Air Mobility Command bestowed their most prestigious honor – the Order of the Sword – to Gen. Mike Minihan, AMC commander, at a formal ceremony, May 2, 2024. A tradition whose foundation dates back to the 12th Century, the old “Royal Order of the Sword” ceremony was revised, updated and adopted by the Noncommissioned Officers of the United States Air Force in 1967. Since then, less than 3oo Airmen have had this honor bestowed upon them. Minihan is known for routinely putting personal and genuine investment into the Airmen he leads, tackling issues at both the programmatic and individual level.
