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.

Hampton Roads Naval Museum
Sept. 16, 2019 | 1:37
A 25 foot long Vietnamese sampan captured in 1968 during Operation Flankspeed during the Vietnam War is the focus of this video footage. The sampan has never before been exhibited to the public; and was previously housed in the Naval History and Heritage Command's collections management facility. Prior to the artifact being transported and displayed, it was cleaned and stabilized by museum conservators. The artifact is part of a larger exhibit that is scheduled to open at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum on October 9, 2019 and is titled "The Ten Thousand Day War at Sea: the US Navy in Vietnam, 1950-1975" (US Navy Video by Max Lonzanida/Released).
