The Air Force is asking its members to come up with ideas that would facilitate and improve its Agile Combat Employment initiative. Concepts and suggestions would serve “to increase survivability while generating combat power in geographically dispersed locations,” the Air Force said in a press release. It is based upon a concept put forth last year by Gen. David W Allvin, the vice chief of staff.
Airmen can submit their ideas now through May 22.
“We have heard the call to Accelerate Change or Lose from Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. C.Q. Brown, Jr.; he has set the vision for the force we need to become. Through operational imperatives, Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall has refined our focus on delivering threat-informed capabilities that the force needs to prevail,” said Allvin. “The changing character of war will privilege lethality, speed, agility and resilience – acceleration matters.”
Suggestions should focus on two areas:
• The rapid transition to a wartime footing, to include quick and relevant delivery of combat power where it is needed.
• Using the Agile Combat Employment initiative to operate in highly contested areas.
“The imagination and creativity resident in our airmen is vital,” Allvin said. “Airmen are our critical advantage. Airmen have ideas and ingenuity required to help us fly, fight and win … airpower, anytime, anywhere.”
Airmen must have a Platform One account in order to submit their ideas.
