8 Successful support of the global engagement of United States forces is contingent upon establishing and maintaining a global air mobility support system (GAMSS) that enables the timely deployment, employment, sustainment and redeployment of forces throughout the range of military operations. As part of GAMSS, the United States Air FORCE (USAF) maintains expeditionary CRFs to manage, coordinate, support and control global mobility missions. CRFs deploy to locations where mobility operations support capability is insufficient or nonexistent. They provide C2, air transportation, aircraft maintenance capability and may contain support elements from specific functional areas ( , security forces, weather, intelligence, etc.) to ensure safe, effective global air mobility operations.

9 These forces deploy on very short-notice to support contingencies, humanitarian assistance and disaster response operations, President of the United States (POTUS) support, Security Cooperation (SC) engagements and operations, Special Assignment Airlift Missions (SAAMs), Joint Airborne and Air Transportability Training (JA/ATT), exercises and tanker deployment support. Furthermore, CRFs provide the capability to Open the Airbase by executing FORCE Module 1 (FM1) in the Air Expeditionary Task FORCE (AETF) FM list. Key terms and definitions. Will and shall indicate a mandatory requirement. Should indicates a preferred, but not mandatory, method of accomplishment. May indicates an acceptable or suggested means of accomplishment. Contingency Response FORCE (CRF) is the preferred acronym used when generically referring to dedicated forces that provide expeditionary air mobility support operations capability.

10 Contingency Response Group (CRG) is an acronym that refers to both a home station CRF organizational structure and a specific CRF team designation when executing the Open the Airbase mission.
