· The Air Force must continue to develop and empower Airmen at all levels: tactical, operational, and strategic, with the skills for joint planning, battle management, and better understanding of how to optimize joint capabilities across multiple domains.
· As a reminder, CSAF Focus Area #1 is “Revitalizing Air Force Squadrons” and CSAF Focus Area #2 is “Strengthening Joint Teams and Leaders.” Read all three of the CSAF’s Focus Area papers here.
