A BODY OF THEORY AND SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE
A SERVICE ORIENTATION A DISTINCT SUB-CULTURE |

continuum? |
If we all don't aspire to improve or enhance our level of performance and abide by the same core values and esponsibilities, then there is no way the profession as a whole can advance along the continuum of occupations.

Each AEF will have about 175 aircraft, and each will be more formidable than the air force of most nations. These AEF packages will be able to respond
within 72 hours of any unexpected contingency and will be trained and tailored to meet commanders' needs in a wide range of contingency operations.
