china's modernization programs if

anything , china has accelerated its

00:21.540 --> 00:24.090
pace of modernization and take it in

00:24.090 --> 00:26.190
some disturbing directions . Kendall

00:26.200 --> 00:28.089
also talked about his overarching

00:28.089 --> 00:30.570
organizing principle of one team , one

00:30.570 --> 00:32.292
fight which extends beyond the

00:32.292 --> 00:34.348
Department of the Air Force to other

00:34.348 --> 00:36.292
services and industrial partners .

00:36.292 --> 00:38.510
Chief of Staff General CQ Brown , Jr

00:38.520 --> 00:40.810
told airmen change and a new culture

00:40.820 --> 00:43.140
are needed in the service he labelled

00:43.150 --> 00:46.060
to significant challenges ahead . First ,

00:46.750 --> 00:48.750
the return of strategic competition

00:48.750 --> 00:50.917
that threatens our national security ,

00:50.917 --> 00:52.806
our our deals and the rules based

00:52.806 --> 00:55.460
international order . Yeah , the second

00:56.140 --> 00:58.330
the need to transform our Air force to

00:58.330 --> 01:01.700
compete deter and win in a highly

01:01.700 --> 01:04.530
contested environment but blocked by

01:04.530 --> 01:07.460
bureaucracy and constrain thinking to

01:07.460 --> 01:09.627
meet those challenges . Brown says the

01:09.627 --> 01:11.793
Air Force needs to embrace the culture

01:11.793 --> 01:13.960
that values innovation , collaboration

01:13.960 --> 01:15.849
and accountability . Chief master

01:18.071 --> 01:20.293
spoke about the future of the service .

01:20.293 --> 01:23.770
The Air Force of 2030 will not be built

01:23.780 --> 01:26.310
in the pentagon . It is being built in

01:26.310 --> 01:29.340
our squadrons and in our work centres .

01:29.350 --> 01:32.410
It is being built by you , inspiring

01:32.410 --> 01:34.521
your people to enhance your readiness

01:34.521 --> 01:36.354
and create a culture that values

01:36.354 --> 01:40.010
diversity inclusion and respect .

01:40.020 --> 01:41.770
Bass added that the new Airman

01:41.770 --> 01:43.881
leadership qualities released earlier

01:43.881 --> 01:46.103
this year are being used to help define

01:46.103 --> 01:48.270
expectations . Those qualities include

01:48.270 --> 01:50.548
executing the mission , leading people ,
