General
Augustine Warner Robins (September 29, 1882 - June 16, 1940) is often credited as the Father of Logistics in the modern
United States Air Force, then known as the
Army Air Corps. He was instrumental in the establishment of the first official and workable Air Force supply maintenance and accountability system, and helped establish official guidelines for the training of logistics officers,
NCOs, and civilians working for the Air Force. He is also the namesake of the city of
Warner Robins, Georgia.
