Air University joined forces with the Air Force General Counsel to create a new center of excellence devoted to the art of negotiation. Located at Maxwell AFB, Ala., the center, say officials, will aid the Air Force by developing airmen with skills in negotiating, collaborating, and problem-solving—“now a crucial part of the military’s skill set.” It’s supposed to work wonders in the joint environment.
As Air Force leaders consider concepts of operations for Collaborative Combat Aircraft, sustainment in the field—and easing that support by using standard parts and limiting variants—should be a key consideration, according to a new study from AFA's Mitchell Institute of Aerospace Studies.
