CSAF's Scope highlights Doolittle Raiders heroism, impact

  • Published
SAN ANTONIO (AFNEWS) --  The CSAF's Scope focuses on current topics the Air Force chief of staff feels are of special importance to today's Airmen.

Among Gen. T. Michael Moseley's top issues this month is the 65th anniversary of the Doolittle Raiders' bombing mission over Japan. 

Two entries are dedicated to the Doolittle Raiders -- the first talking about their courage and heroism, and the second highlighting the impact their historic mission had on the nation and the Air Force.

"The legendary Doolittle Raiders are yet another example of just what Airmen warriors can do with a disciplined, agile, combat-focused and expeditionary mindset," the chief said. "Bottom line, they flew, they fought, and they helped our nation win a world war ... the same as we're doing today."

Other topics on the CSAF's Scope include the combat search and rescue mission, Marine-Air Force warfighter talks, and the Airmen's warfighting ethos. The general has written a brief explanation of each topic so Airmen can better understand the issues he is working and why they are important to the Air Force's senior leaders.

The CSAF's Scope is available on the Air Force official Web site at http://www.af.mil/library/cscope.asp.
