SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  In his first Letter to Airmen, the acting secretary of the Air Force focuses on how the Air Force will direct attention to the nuclear mission to overcome cultural, systemic and institutional challenges.

"To begin restoring our inner confidence and credibility, I have directed the establishment of a nuclear task force to examine the nuclear enterprise through the lens of doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities," acting Secretary Michael B. Donley said. 

"Recommitting to our own high standards is the foundation for our success in every mission area, not just our nuclear enterprise," he said.

Mr. Donley said that America's Airmen are known worldwide for upholding high standards of excellence from the Berlin Airlift to operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. 

This Letter to Airmen and other senior leader viewpoints can be found in the Library section of Air Force Link.
