United States Air Force Operational Education Training and Organization

Abstract

The operational competencies of Air Force officers are a result of their education, training and experience. The organization of the service also provides some degree of experience by supplying the officer with leadership opportunities. The paper asserts that changes can be made in these areas to improve the jointness of the service and prepare junior officers for future senior leadership positions. These changes include: more joint curriculum at junior level professional military education courses, exposure to true joint operational training exercises, and reorganization of Air Force units to promote joint interoperability.
