7 SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- The sun never sets on U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). Elements of the Department of Defense mission may have paused this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but USTRANSCOM continued to enable the warfighter. “There is nothing that the world can do to bring this great command to a halt, because it is so essential to everything the Department of Defense does,” said U.S. Army Gen. Stephen R. Lyons, commander, USTRANSCOM. “We figured out a means to continue the mission and protect the force, as well as support the whole government’s COVID response effort.”
