A delegation from the Combined Air Power Transition Force in Afghanistan, led by Afghanistan National Army Air commander Maj. Gen. Mohammed Dawran, has been touring Air Education and Training Command bases to see first-hand just how USAF trains its enlisted force and, in particular, its pilots. The group visited Randolph AFB, Tex., where it stopped at the Airman Leadership School and received a briefing on AETC’s specialized undergraduate pilot training program. Next stop was Laughlin AFB, Tex., for a close up look at SUPT in the field. Dawran said he wants to have a similar program in his country. (Justin Oakes reports on the Randolph visit; Capt. Ken Hall on Laughlin excursion.)
