USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, At Sea (NNS) -- The commander of U.S. Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) visited USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) at sea Nov. 23.
While U.S. Air Force Gen. Duncan J. McNabb, commander, TRANSCOM, was on board, Lincoln's crew was able to demonstrate the logistics of passenger and cargo transportation via carrier on board delivery, how flights are briefed and provide a tour of the ship to McNabb and his staff.
"You're doing an amazing job out here. Those of us at TRANSCOM know what it's like to be a resource needed on a global scale, and aircraft carriers are a great example of the Navy promoting stability and maritime security operations around the globe," said McNabb.
TRANSCOM is responsible for creating and implementing worldwide global deployment and distribution solutions in support of the Department of Defense and regional combatant commanders by orchestrating transportation options.
The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is deployed in the U.S. 5th Fleet Area of Responsibility, conducting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts to establish conditions for regional stability.
