WEBVTT 00:08.479 --> 00:10.880 The world is changing rapidly . And so 00:10.890 --> 00:12.779 are the challenges we face as the 00:12.779 --> 00:15.279 United States air force between our 00:15.289 --> 00:17.289 greatest strategic competitor , the 00:17.289 --> 00:19.409 People's Republic of China to other 00:19.420 --> 00:22.129 state and non state actors , we will 00:22.139 --> 00:24.139 face adversaries who continue to 00:24.149 --> 00:26.440 exploit opportunities to further their 00:26.450 --> 00:28.561 interests as they seek to reshape the 00:28.561 --> 00:30.739 global order deterring conflict is a 00:30.750 --> 00:33.090 top priority , but we must be prepared 00:33.099 --> 00:35.210 to defend against any aggression that 00:35.210 --> 00:37.321 threatens the interests and values of 00:37.321 --> 00:39.488 an open rule based international order 00:39.560 --> 00:41.720 to do that . We need multi capable 00:41.729 --> 00:43.729 airmen who are ready for the future 00:43.729 --> 00:45.618 fight , critical thinkers who can 00:45.618 --> 00:47.840 implement mission type orders and adapt 00:47.840 --> 00:50.759 to any situation . Analytical minds 00:50.770 --> 00:53.259 that leverage technology and data with 00:53.270 --> 00:56.130 competence and confidence . War 00:56.139 --> 00:58.028 fighters who can serve diligently 00:58.028 --> 01:01.000 alongside our joint force , allies and 01:01.009 --> 01:03.231 partners around the world to secure the 01:03.240 --> 01:05.296 competitive advantage . Ensuring air 01:05.296 --> 01:07.462 force mission readiness is exactly why 01:07.462 --> 01:09.573 Air education and training Command is 01:09.573 --> 01:11.518 taking a comprehensive approach to 01:11.518 --> 01:13.629 transform the way we find , recruit , 01:13.629 --> 01:16.279 train and educate our airmen . We are 01:16.864 --> 01:19.404 recruiting and discussions in order to 01:19.415 --> 01:21.974 reach diverse and talented candidates , 01:22.294 --> 01:24.805 ac is utilizing innovative methods and 01:24.815 --> 01:27.504 platforms to attract people from all 01:27.514 --> 01:29.614 walks of life and streamline the 01:29.625 --> 01:31.403 process for joining the world's 01:31.403 --> 01:33.569 greatest air force . While we continue 01:33.574 --> 01:35.241 to refine and consolidate the 01:35.241 --> 01:37.185 significant advances we've made in 01:37.185 --> 01:39.185 pilot training , we are using those 01:39.185 --> 01:41.352 lessons learned to transform technical 01:41.352 --> 01:43.518 training to develop credible competent 01:43.518 --> 01:45.574 experts . We are shifting from a one 01:45.574 --> 01:47.130 size fits all approach to a 01:47.130 --> 01:49.074 personalized and adaptive learning 01:49.074 --> 01:51.296 model that allows airmen to progress at 01:51.296 --> 01:53.352 their own pace and master the skills 01:53.352 --> 01:55.463 they need . For the future fight . We 01:55.463 --> 01:57.407 are also incorporating digital age 01:57.407 --> 01:59.185 technology through the power of 01:59.185 --> 02:01.074 artificial intelligence , virtual 02:01.074 --> 02:03.241 reality , advanced learning management 02:03.241 --> 02:05.352 system and emerging technologies . We 02:05.352 --> 02:04.946 are enhancing our training and 02:04.957 --> 02:07.013 education delivery to provide airmen 02:07.013 --> 02:09.124 with realistic and immersive training 02:09.124 --> 02:11.179 scenarios , giving them the reps and 02:11.179 --> 02:13.124 sets needed to be effective in the 02:13.124 --> 02:14.957 operational environment . We are 02:14.957 --> 02:16.735 implementing an enterprise data 02:16.735 --> 02:18.735 strategy and standards , creating a 02:18.735 --> 02:20.957 data driven culture that will enable us 02:20.966 --> 02:22.807 to measure our performance while 02:22.817 --> 02:25.117 identifying gaps in opportunities to 02:25.664 --> 02:27.764 make informed decisions based on 02:27.774 --> 02:29.552 evidence and analytics . We are 02:29.554 --> 02:31.721 evolving to build digital age campuses 02:31.721 --> 02:33.554 of the future . Transforming our 02:33.554 --> 02:35.721 physical infrastructure and facilities 02:35.721 --> 02:37.943 is of utmost importance as we support a 02:37.943 --> 02:39.887 digital transformation and provide 02:39.887 --> 02:41.776 airmen with modern productive and 02:41.776 --> 02:43.887 collaborative learning environments . 02:43.887 --> 02:45.887 We are rapidly codifying the airman 02:45.887 --> 02:48.054 competencies necessary for great power 02:48.054 --> 02:50.171 competition , effective talent and 02:50.180 --> 02:52.291 force development require that we can 02:52.291 --> 02:54.371 measure and understand a complete 02:54.380 --> 02:56.602 picture of an airman's readiness during 02:56.602 --> 02:58.324 every step of their training , 02:58.324 --> 03:01.031 education and career development . So 03:01.041 --> 03:03.110 we're defining not only technical 03:03.121 --> 03:05.091 skills but the critical thinking , 03:05.100 --> 03:08.311 teamwork , communication , resilience 03:08.320 --> 03:10.701 and leadership competencies that airmen 03:10.710 --> 03:13.210 need to succeed . In the high end fight 03:15.220 --> 03:17.220 these six lines of effort . Our new 03:17.220 --> 03:19.109 operational approach will help us 03:19.109 --> 03:21.350 achieve our desired end state to find 03:21.360 --> 03:23.889 recruit , train and educate the airmen , 03:23.899 --> 03:25.955 the nation needs and provide digital 03:25.955 --> 03:27.750 age training , education and 03:27.759 --> 03:29.537 development to produce the most 03:29.537 --> 03:31.092 competitive airmen with the 03:31.092 --> 03:33.259 competencies necessary to deter and if 03:33.259 --> 03:34.926 necessary win to the high end 03:34.926 --> 03:37.092 competition . We're not just preparing 03:37.092 --> 03:39.203 for the future . We are creating it . 03:39.203 --> 03:41.092 We are air education and training 03:41.092 --> 03:43.029 command . We are the first command .
