What a great business to be in at the moment.

Since the Army Air Corps, #AeromedicalEvacuation capabilities have expanded and improved to safely transport more patients, fly longer distances, provide in-flight critical care, and enable AE teams to anticipate the needs of future conflicts and AE requirements. As the United States Air Force prepares for the future, we train with our allies and partners to ensure all AE teams are ready to meet the challenge the future holds. #MobilityGuardian | #MG23 | Royal Australian Air Force | #AusAirForce | #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific | United States Department of Defense

24 Key Decisions the Air Force is making to be more competitive in an era of Great Power Competition.

I have to admit I have the best colleagues and friends around (not biased at all 😉 ). These women and other Airmen and Guardians just like them have kept their services afloat by serving as protocol officers, strategy experts, operational and tactical warriors, and so much more. Lucky for me, I have become friends with and gotten to know servicemembers outside of my first specialty, the tactical flying community. People from every profession in the military are necessary to keep us being the best, strongest, and most capable Air Force and Space Force on the planet. Have you reached out to someone outside your primary specialty today? Exploring different roles within the military can provide valuable insights into how diverse expertise enhances national and global security. #MilitaryService #NationalSecurity #DiversityInRoles

A Royal Air Force Armed Forces Veteran shares the greatest lesson he learned from working in the armed forces.

I am grateful for the time the USAF Air Command and Staff College afforded me to think deeply about Air Force problems. Some great lessons from Operation Inherent Resolve are summarized in the linked book and I'm proud to contribute chapter 13 to the collection. https://lnkd.in/gKfnnVS6

For my V-22 friends on the platform… This aircraft drives spirited discussions amongst those who follow it. I’ve seen both the operational side while supporting it during operations around the world and the administrative side while working on a Headquarters Staff. It solved a time/distance problem while creating logistical and financial burdens. Though not necessarily unique to this platform, I believe it received more scrutiny because it looks different. If I learned nothing else from my 24+ years in the military, institutions don’t like things that look different. Admittedly, there are areas for improvement for this platform. Hopefully as it comes back online, the institutions supporting it, pave a way forward that doesn’t come at the cost of more lives. #randomthoughts #aviation #safety #flightsafety
