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.

Explosive ordnance disposal technicians with the U.S. Army’s 702nd Ordnance Company (EOD) based out of U.S Army. Garrison Grafenwoehr, Germany and attached to the Florida Army National Guard's 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Task Force Gator), train in subterranean structures alongside an Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit from the Armed Forces of the Republic of Moldova's 1st Motorized Infantry Brigade during a Joint Multinational Readiness Center rotation at Hohenfels Training Area, Germany, Feb. 8, 2026. The training challenged EOD teams to plan and execute operations in complex tunnel systems, where confined spaces increase the risk of booby traps and magnify blast overpressure, underscoring EOD’s role in enabling freedom of maneuver through the mitigation and clearance of explosive hazards on the objective.
