1 00:00:02,289 --> 00:00:04,920 The chief of staff is famous for saying , 2 00:00:04,929 --> 00:00:06,929 solve for agility . That is a first 3 00:00:06,929 --> 00:00:09,560 principle that we apply to every 4 00:00:09,609 --> 00:00:11,776 serious question that we get for force 5 00:00:11,776 --> 00:00:13,640 design force presentation force 6 00:00:13,649 --> 00:00:16,069 generation . And that also applies to 7 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,549 force education . Time is money , 8 00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:21,229 resources are are limited . And the 9 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,072 information that we pass through 10 00:00:23,072 --> 00:00:25,017 professional military education is 11 00:00:25,017 --> 00:00:27,239 critical to building the airmen we need 12 00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:29,461 for great power competition . So we are 13 00:00:29,461 --> 00:00:31,620 changing the entire air forces 14 00:00:31,629 --> 00:00:34,779 structure from the types of commands , 15 00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:36,770 the echelons of command . We're 16 00:00:36,779 --> 00:00:40,000 changing the functional fabric of the 17 00:00:40,009 --> 00:00:42,279 air force . We're making these massive 18 00:00:42,290 --> 00:00:44,689 changes because the environment demands 19 00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:46,860 that our nation demands it . Global 20 00:00:46,869 --> 00:00:49,240 College of PM E is providing us agility 21 00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:52,759 so that we can optimize our airmen as 22 00:00:52,770 --> 00:00:55,759 well as our force . So it expands our 23 00:00:55,770 --> 00:00:57,826 education platforms beyond brick and 24 00:00:57,826 --> 00:01:00,125 mortar to distance learning 25 00:01:00,136 --> 00:01:02,303 opportunities , which is more adaptive 26 00:01:02,303 --> 00:01:04,192 for the total force in particular 27 00:01:04,192 --> 00:01:06,536 traditional reserve with weekends uh 28 00:01:06,545 --> 00:01:08,526 and our guardsmen with traditional 29 00:01:08,536 --> 00:01:10,795 guardsmen duty as well as those pockets 30 00:01:10,805 --> 00:01:12,916 of the air force that just don't have 31 00:01:12,916 --> 00:01:15,045 access or time or capacity to come in 32 00:01:15,416 --> 00:01:17,360 the technology and the environment 33 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,860 today . And , and like our 34 00:01:18,860 --> 00:01:20,916 Intergovernmental Service agreements 35 00:01:20,916 --> 00:01:22,860 that we have with industry leading 36 00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:24,694 education delivery platforms has 37 00:01:24,694 --> 00:01:26,694 allowed us to get better and better 38 00:01:26,694 --> 00:01:28,805 with not just distance learning , but 39 00:01:28,805 --> 00:01:30,805 this blended learning where you are 40 00:01:30,805 --> 00:01:30,751 still interacting , you know , a 41 00:01:30,902 --> 00:01:33,124 computer based training module . That's 42 00:01:33,124 --> 00:01:35,124 not what we're talking about here . 43 00:01:35,124 --> 00:01:35,052 We're not talking about just opening up 44 00:01:35,061 --> 00:01:37,339 some slide shows , clicking through it , 45 00:01:37,339 --> 00:01:39,172 we're talking about an education 46 00:01:39,172 --> 00:01:41,228 environment where we're teaching you 47 00:01:41,228 --> 00:01:43,394 concepts and you're learning from each 48 00:01:43,394 --> 00:01:45,505 other kind of that Socratic method of 49 00:01:45,505 --> 00:01:47,617 learning . And I think today's airmen 50 00:01:47,617 --> 00:01:49,450 are comfortable learning in that 51 00:01:49,450 --> 00:01:51,450 environment at the end of the day , 52 00:01:51,450 --> 00:01:53,617 remembering that we serve our nation , 53 00:01:53,617 --> 00:01:55,728 we raise our right hand . We are here 54 00:01:55,728 --> 00:01:57,894 in the service of others and all these 55 00:01:57,894 --> 00:01:59,783 other details , we'll go do those 56 00:01:59,783 --> 00:02:02,005 things in order to protect what we hold 57 00:02:02,005 --> 00:02:04,228 dear . That's what we're looking for in 58 00:02:04,228 --> 00:02:03,559 our army .
