Today, the 6th of January 2010, is an important milestone for the Air Force in that one year ago today, the Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations Center came into being. This consolidation of oversight and missions was a result of our Air Force senior leadership’s recognition that although we were providing outstanding support to our fallen and their families, we could do better. And so, the Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations Center was activated and charged with a single focus, that of ensuring our nation’s most sacred commitment to provide the dignity, honor and respect America’s fallen have earned and to provide the care, service, and support their families need. Col Robert H. Edmondson, Commander, Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operation Center
