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.

USS Russell Dry Dock Time Lapse
Southwest Regional Maintenance Center

Watch as the SWRMC docking teams guide USS Russell (DDG 59) into dry dock for scheduled maintenance. This evolution marks a significant achievement: it's the first time our sailors have independently handled all line operations for a dry dock maneuver of this scale. This accomplishment underscores their exceptional training, coordination, and the growing expertise within our naval teams.
