MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. (AFNS) — \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin<\/a><\/strong> traveled to Maxwell Air Force Base<\/a><\/strong>, March 12 to participate in Air University<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s wing and group command team courses.<\/p>\n

The opportunity to speak in front of new command teams from across the force also served as the first opportunity for both Allvin and Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force David Flosi <\/a><\/strong>to discuss the strategic direction of the Air Force.<\/p>\n

Allvin briefed on the status of reoptimizing the force and how leaders at the group and wing level are critical to generating readiness and projecting power in this era of Great Power Competition<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe change in the character of war is in our wheelhouse,\u201d Allvin said. \u201cWe know how to succeed in that environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allvin also charged the command teams to actively discuss the reasoning behind reoptimization with their Airmen. \u201cYou have to be able to understand and communicate to your youngest Airmen the why,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir understanding of what\u2019s at stake and our guiding principles will be critical as we all serve in this time of consequence.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the CSAF\u2019s and CMSAF\u2019s visit, they were able to interact with wing and group mentors for the course before briefing the commanders and senior enlisted participants. They also spoke about the importance of immediacy and generating momentum now to stay in motion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere you spend your time is what you value. Time is the precious commodity,\u201d Flosi explained. \u201cWe really are spending all of our time on Great Power Competition. We understand the need for change is now, and we are out of time. We are better off getting started and adjusting than staying still and trying to be perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wing and group commanders courses are held on campus monthly and prepare select leaders to be empowered teams and effectively execute mission command designed for Great Power Competition.<\/p>\n
