The Air Mobility Warfare Center is about to roll out its new 3.5 day course designed to indoctrinate colonels who are slated to deploy as expeditionary mission support group commanders. The first course is set to kick off Feb. 7 with 18 students. Col. Shelley Christian, commandant of the Expeditionary Operations School at Ft. Dix, N.J., says the new course is the next step in leadership training, by verifying and validating the competency of expeditionary combat force leadership.
The Air Force is on track to reach its annual goal of graduating 1,500 new pilots that had proved elusive to this point, one year after the service launched a sweeping overhaul of its undergraduate pilot training program, Air Education and Training Command said Sept. 14.
