KIM KNIGHT, STAFF WRITER n 2014, The Mobility Forum published an article about changes to the Air Force Inspection System I(AFIS) and new Unit Effectiveness Inspection (UEI) process. It pointed out the tremendous lengths wings sometimes went to when preparing for an inspection—things that correlate to painting the grass green. That may have been a stretch—or was it? Either way, the AFIS changes were intended to shift a commander’s focus from menial, non-value-added tasks to efforts that make the Air Force as a whole more mission ready. So, is it working? Are today’s inspections more meaningful? More importantly: are units focused on big-picture items that make our organization stronger and better prepared? Brig Gen Kevin Lamberth, who serves as Inspector General, Headquarters Air Mobility Command at Scott Air Force Base, believes so. “It is no longer about ramping up for an Inspector General visit,” Special thanks to TSgt Austin May, now working in ACC/PA, who provided the six selected panels he said. “It is about continual of creative artwork for the article (out of the original 10) first published in the Summer 2014 issue of The Mobility Forum.
