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.

Emergency responders conduct a pre-accident drill at Desiderio Army Airfield, Jan. 23, 2024, on U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys. The drill tested the responders ability to react to a downed aircraft emergency scenario. Responders were required to make an assessment of the scene, extract mock casualties from a CH-47 Chinook, and treat mock casualties in addition to other rescue and recovery elements.

B-Roll includes interview of Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ryan Chambers, airfield safety officer for Desiderio Army Aifield
(00:02.00) "The airfield division conducts these pre-accident drills for many reasons, outside of being required. First, and perhaps most important, is the emergency response teams involved in the rescue and recovery operations. They conduct their training on a regular basis as individual life saving assets, but these training events give us the opportunity to synchronize our training into one collective complex exercise. We change the scenarios, we try to introduce new injects to try to diversify and maximize our training as much as possible for all players involved each quarter. Realism and the train to fight mentality that's absolutely vital for these types of training events."
