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.

PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE – Colo. -- Airmen and Guardians gathered at the Peterson Hub for GameCon at Peterson Space Force Base, Sept. 20, 2024. This event is the largest annual Air Force Gaming and Space Force Gaming event on the base. Attendees could sign up to compete in Counter Strike 2, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Rocket League, Tetris, Chess, or Magic the Gathering. Extra consoles and PC’s were available for free play, if attendees wanted to spend time gaming casually with others. $5,000 in gaming-themed prizes were raffled away, including a new Playstation 5, arcade gaming system, Cyberpower PC, and more. Private vendors were in attendance, selling themed clothing, tabletop gaming items, trading cards, and other merchandise.

Events like GameCon allow Airmen and Guardians to display their strategic thinking and collaboration expertise in ways they don’t normally get to demonstrate during duty hours. With a total force that is continually relying on younger personnel, allowing them to spend time showcasing their gaming skills during the duty day offers a great opportunity to build morale in a competitive, healthy setting.
