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.

July 1, 2025 | 1:38
U.S. Army paratroopers assigned to the 173rd Airborne Brigade share candid testimonies about what it means to serve in the brigade today and reflect on the legacy left by generations of Sky Soldier veterans. From first jumps to combat readiness, today’s Sky Soldiers honor the past by living the standard every day. Their message to veterans: Thank you for the foundation—you inspired us to carry the torch forward. The 173rd Airborne Brigade serves as the U.S. Army’s Contingency Response Force in Europe, capable of rapidly deploying forces across the U.S. European, African, and Central Command areas of responsibility.
