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.

The C-17 was the only USAF aircraft that could deliver multiple vehicles of that size. The last time a C-17 landed at Jalalabad was December 2010. The narrow runway at Jalalabad meant the only way the aircraft could move around on the ground was by going in reverse.
