The 21st Air Force Chief of Staff, Gen. David L. Goldfein, announced in 2018 the need to focus on the squadron. He said, “The squadron is the beating heart of the United States Air Force; our most essential team.” Goldfein, like many others, had witnessed the gradual decline of the squadron during his career and recognized that in order for the Air Force to continue as the worlds’ premier fighting force, we needed to refocus on what made us great in the first place and revitalize the squadron!
