A Final Thought From the Wise
Warriors
The wisdom of generals tells us:
•What we do is not based on chance; therefore learning
continually makes the difference between success and
failure
•The professional incompetent for lack of learning is a
criminal
•Do not be afraid to learn from those who report to you
•Learning is a required lifetime commitment
William A. Cohen, Ph.D.
Major General. USAFR, Ret.
“The Wisdom Of Generals” 2001

A Challenge From the USAF’s
Top Warrior
“We need to be postured so that we can respond rapidly in hours
with light, lean and lethal forces tailored to what the commander-
in-chief needs. … We need doctrine that allows us to fight on
arrival. We need airmen with an expeditionary mindset to organize
ourselves so that we present airpower forces to a CINC in a way
that is understandable. We need to be equipped with the right force
protection, the right support, the right communications, the right
command and control so that we can get the air tasking order, fit in
with a joint force and do our job the way airpower is organized to
do… This new generation of air and space warriors has to be
tougher minded … you have to get back to some basic institutional
values: every airman is a warrior, every airman is a sensor …
General Jumper
