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.

In the winter of 1950, the mountainous terrain surrounding the man-made Chosin Reservoir in present-day North Korea became the setting for one of the most demanding tests of resolve, courage, and physical endurance in the history of the Marine Corps. The Battle of the Chosin Reservoir lasted approximately 17 days and pitted 120,000 enemy Chinese troops against a force of just 30,000 U.S. Marines, Sailors, and Soldiers. The “Chosin Few”, as the Marines of the 1st Marine Division came to be known, faced relentless enemy assaults, sub-zero temperatures, limited logistics, and no hope of reinforcement.
