Part of improving Air Force Global Strike Command operations is building more rigorous training regimes, said Lt. Gen. James Kowalski, AFGSC boss. To that end, the command has assembled several new programs to prepare airmen better for the global strike mission. For example, AFGSC has assembled a training unit to instruct nuclear intelligence professionals on the specifics of global strike intelligence work, he said in remarks at AFA’s Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Fla., last week.

A full-scale national exercise testing this response force’s capability is planned for May of 2012.
