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.

U.S. Marines fly Unmanned Aerial Systems during an aerial target engagement simulation on Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, June 24, 2025. This simulation is part of MCB Quantico’s Counter-Unmanned Aerial System’s Counter-Drone Team, which focuses on establishing standard operating procedures for the use of kinetic defeat options for law enforcement against a drone incursion. “We have some non-kinetic capabilities on the installation already,” Master Gunnery Sgt. Nicholas Capko, the provost sergeant for MCB Quantico Provost Marshal Office. “One variable of installation protection is how to get after the drone incursions we’re starting to see an escalation of.” (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl.
