Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne tells airmen in a new letter that he plans to institute “refined initial and developmental education for all ranks” to take USAF’s educational foundation “to the next level.” The service has extended basic training to provide combat indoctrination and is providing cultural and language classes in some professional military education settings. Wynne says airmen must “be relentless” toward becoming “knowledge-enabled.”
The Pentagon's list of 14 top technology priorities has been slimmed to six, to ensure they get the attention they need, Defense Research and Engineering director Emil Michael announced. Changes may be coming in authorities for funding them, as well.
