Mentoring

Mentoring is a relationship in which knowledge and skills are shared between members in a way in which everyone benefits. Often a more senior person is mentoring a junior person, but mentorship can happen between any two individuals. Mentoring will help Airmen and Guardians discover their strengths by achieving their full potential through a structured, trusting mentoring relationship.

Local and national media gather on the aircraft ramp at Kallax Air Base, Sweden, to get imagery of multi-nation aircraft from Great Britian, United States and Sweden, participating in ACE 19, during a media day event. ACE 19 is a Nordic aviation exercise that provides realistic, scenario-based training to prepare forces for enemy defensive systems. Interoperability and combined training during exercises like ACE 19 enhances professional relationships and improves overall coordination with allies and partner militaries.
