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.

Cadets in Sunburst Youth Academy's Class 32 work through a high ropes confidence course in Anaheim, California, July 23, 2023, as part of the academy's two-week pre-challenge acclimation phase to focus on building a growth mindset at the onset of their time at Sunburst. For 5.5 months, from July to December, nearly 200 Southern California teens are voluntarily living on and going to school on Joint Forces Training Base, Los Alamitos, California, to make up high school credits while learning essential life skills like goal setting and leadership. Sunburst is a National Guard Youth Challenge Program site operated in collaboration between the California National Guard's Task Force Torch youth and community programs directorate and the Orange County Department of Education.
