Accelerate Change: Empowered Airmen

We live in a world that is driven by rapidly changing technology and an environment that includes aggressive and capable global competitors. Airmen are key to cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, recognizing and understanding our competition, and thinking of creative ways we can reshape the design of our Air Force. The Air Force must accelerate, must change, and must prepare for the future!

This page is dedicated towards highlighting the accomplishments of our talented Airmen at all levels and to show the impact they can make when they are informed and empowered to problem solve and make smart recommendations and decisions.

WELCOME I’M CPL ALEXIS FRENCH WITH YOUR MARINE MINUTE!

U.S. MARINES WITH MARINE AERIAL REFUELER TRANSPORT SQUADRON 252 CARRIED OUT FLIGHT OPERATIONS NEAR MARINE CORPS AIR STATION CHERRY POINT, NORTH CAROLINA.

SPECIFICALLY SURGE OPERATIONS, WHICH DEMONSTRATE THEIR KC-130J HERCULES ABILITY TO LAUNCH AND RECOVER MULTIPLE DIVISIONS OF AIRCRAFT CONCURRENTLY.

U.S. MARINE CORPS MAJ. ROYSE MAYO, A KC-130J HERCULES PILOT, EXPLAINS WHY THE AIRCRAFT IS IMPORTANT.

"THE C-130, IN GENERAL, ALONG WITH THE MOP ALLOWS US TO HAVE A REALLY STABLE PLATFORM AND A LONG TIME ON STATION FOR COMMAND AND CONTROL.”

THE KC-130S AT VMGR 252 ARE ALSO UNIQUE BECAUSE THEY PROVIDE A CLOSE AIR SUPPORT CAPABILITY TO THE AIR WING COMMANDER.

THAT’S YOUR MARINE MINUTE.FOR MORE STORIES VISIT MARINES.MIL AND ALL THE MARINE CORPS SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES.
