    Sword Athena is a commander, Air Combat Command (COMACC) sponsored program for ACC Airmen to reduce female- and family- centric barriers to readiness and service.

    This effort is a grassroots style approach which leverage’s ACC’s Weapons and Tactics Conference model of highlighting readiness barriers directly from the field to the Major Command level leadership.

    Nominees will participate in 30 days of virtual collaboration beforehand, including virtual professional development opportunities and academics, the 13-17 March in-person event, and then IPRs with ACC Staff and Senior Leaders before the final out brief directly to COMACC in
    late April.

    ‘This is a true call to action for ACC Airmen,” said Chief Master Sergeant Diana Scaramouche, Co-Lead of SA 2023. “To collaborate across the Command to cement their ideas to solve female and family-centric barriers to readiness that will impact the outcome of the high-end fight.’
