we paused to remember those who served 

12
00:00:26,967 --> 00:00:29,133
in uniforms for over a century . Since 

13
00:00:29,133 --> 00:00:31,189
the guns of the First World War fell 

14
00:00:31,189 --> 00:00:33,411
silent on the 11th hour of the 11th day 

15
00:00:33,411 --> 00:00:35,633
of the 11th month , the American people

who continue to serve our great nation 

21
00:00:46,740 --> 00:00:48,851
for this month's topic , I would like 

22
00:00:48,851 --> 00:00:50,907
to briefly talk about change that is 

23
00:00:50,907 --> 00:00:52,796
underway in our Air Force and the 

24
00:00:52,796 --> 00:00:55,018
implications those changes will have on 

25
00:00:55,018 --> 00:00:57,184
our community and in particular to the 

26
00:00:57,184 --> 00:00:59,240
injuring installation community . As 

27
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,351
the chief of staff of the Air Force , 

28
00:01:01,351 --> 00:01:03,573
General Charles Brown , recently stated 

29
00:01:03,573 --> 00:01:05,851
in his August white paper . Accelerate , 

30
00:01:05,851 --> 00:01:07,851
change or lose , the air force must 

31
00:01:07,851 --> 00:01:09,907
accelerate change in order to remain 

32
00:01:09,907 --> 00:01:11,907
the most dominant and respected air 

33
00:01:11,907 --> 00:01:14,018
force in the world . With the release 

34
00:01:14,018 --> 00:01:16,240
of the 2018 National Defense Strategy , 

35
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,351
there has been a significant shift in 

36
00:01:18,351 --> 00:01:20,573
the way the Department of Defense views 

37
00:01:20,573 --> 00:01:22,629
the global security environment from 

38
00:01:22,629 --> 00:01:24,462
one of counterinsurgency in anti 

39
00:01:24,462 --> 00:01:24,110
terrorism toe one of addressing the 

40
00:01:24,110 --> 00:01:26,443
growing threat of near pier adversaries . 

41
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,151
The demand signal has gone out across 

42
00:01:29,151 --> 00:01:31,151
the Air Force to major commands and 

43
00:01:31,151 --> 00:01:32,818
their organizations , develop 

44
00:01:32,818 --> 00:01:34,540
innovative solutions , enhance 

45
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:36,096
capabilities and deploy new 

46
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:37,929
technologies to increase the Air 

47
00:01:37,929 --> 00:01:40,660
Force's war fighting abilities such as 

48
00:01:40,660 --> 00:01:42,604
adaptive operations and contestant 

49
00:01:42,604 --> 00:01:44,960
environments , and his companion agile 

50
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:47,250
combat employment . The adaptive 

51
00:01:47,250 --> 00:01:49,660
operation concept recognizes cultural , 

52
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,280
operational and institutional changes 

53
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,410
will be necessary and require a 

54
00:01:54,410 --> 00:01:56,466
reorientation away from our existing 

55
00:01:56,466 --> 00:01:58,780
large and centralized basis , which 

56
00:01:58,780 --> 00:02:00,760
currently affords a sanctuary of 

57
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,760
Operation Toe one of operating from 

58
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,320
bases susceptible to attack . What this 

59
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,542
means for the two 53rd group is that we 

60
00:02:07,542 --> 00:02:09,598
need to be actively working with our 

61
00:02:09,598 --> 00:02:11,487
total Force partners and our lead 

62
00:02:11,487 --> 00:02:13,710
command Hey , Air Combat Command , to 

63
00:02:13,710 --> 00:02:16,010
understand what changes and risks maybe 

64
00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:17,566
required of the engineering 

65
00:02:17,566 --> 00:02:19,454
installation in order to properly 

66
00:02:19,454 --> 00:02:21,720
organized , trained and equipped to 

67
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,160
meet the warfighters needs in the death 

68
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,280
of operations and agile combat 

69
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,950
employment . The two 53rd is taking the 

70
00:02:28,950 --> 00:02:31,220
lead in developing and deploying new 

71
00:02:31,230 --> 00:02:33,452
innovative solutions to provide the Air 

72
00:02:33,452 --> 00:02:35,610
Force with an agile , adaptive and 

73
00:02:35,610 --> 00:02:37,499
flexible force to meet the global 

74
00:02:37,499 --> 00:02:39,970
challenges of the 21st century . Over 

75
00:02:39,970 --> 00:02:41,914
the next couple of years , the Air 

76
00:02:41,914 --> 00:02:43,581
Force will be undergoing some 

77
00:02:43,581 --> 00:02:45,303
significant changes which will 

78
00:02:45,303 --> 00:02:47,637
indirectly or directly impact all of us . 

79
00:02:48,340 --> 00:02:50,562
The question I would like to leave with 

80
00:02:50,562 --> 00:02:53,240
you is what changes needed in your 

81
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,296
organization to ensure our Air Force 

82
00:02:55,296 --> 00:02:57,407
remains the most dominant , respected 

83
00:02:57,407 --> 00:02:59,670
in the world . Thank you and happy 

84
00:02:59,670 --> 00:03:00,270
Veterans Day .
