General David Allvin, chief of staff of the Air Force, will discuss how today’s strategic environment requires a force that is aligned and focused on the requirements and attributes that will keep the service competitive. Specifically, the Air Force needs to deliver combat-effective, agile, and adaptive airpower at scale. The complexity and speed of combat demand greater preparation, and prioritizing readiness based on mission effectiveness rather than functional competence will be essential to the Air Force’s ability to project and execute its mission rapidly and with precision. As General Allvin will discuss, the Air Force is aligning itself to be “one Air Force” to best compete, deter, and—if required—win in today’s volatile strategic landscape.
Please join General Allvin and Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Timothy A. Walton for a conversation. After the panel discussion, General Allvin will take questions from the audience.
