00:00.009 --> 00:02.140
Attention all airmen , the message

00:02.150 --> 00:04.170
could not be clearer if we do not

00:04.179 --> 00:06.409
change the way we lead today , we will

00:06.420 --> 00:09.409
lose tomorrow's war . Tomorrow's airman

00:09.420 --> 00:11.587
can expect to operate in contested and

00:11.587 --> 00:13.680
degraded environments and at a much

00:13.689 --> 00:15.810
higher temple than our current force

00:15.819 --> 00:18.270
has ever experienced to meet this

00:18.280 --> 00:20.113
challenge . We must operate with

00:20.113 --> 00:22.420
maximum flexibility , creativity and

00:22.430 --> 00:25.469
capacity . We must build trust , shared ,

00:25.479 --> 00:28.319
awareness and empower initiative . We

00:28.329 --> 00:30.229
will embrace mission command

00:34.259 --> 00:36.426
from its inception . The Air Force has

00:36.426 --> 00:38.426
excelled at keeping pace with rapid

00:38.426 --> 00:41.689
changes . Now , more than ever , we

00:41.700 --> 00:43.867
must accelerate change and prepare for

00:43.867 --> 00:45.922
the future because failure is not an

00:45.922 --> 00:48.669
option . Command is the Air Force's

00:48.680 --> 00:50.847
philosophy of leadership in the star .

00:50.847 --> 00:52.513
The blue field symbolizes the

00:52.513 --> 00:54.791
attributes of the mish command culture .

00:54.791 --> 00:56.847
The five points of the star identify

00:56.847 --> 00:58.680
the principles and encompass the

00:58.680 --> 01:00.680
actions and daily practices of mish

01:00.680 --> 01:02.569
command leadership . Together the

01:02.569 --> 01:02.459
embodiment of the mission command

01:02.470 --> 01:04.137
culture . The practice of its

01:04.137 --> 01:06.137
principles and guidance provided by

01:06.137 --> 01:07.859
commander's intent enables the

01:07.859 --> 01:09.748
centralized command , distributed

01:09.748 --> 01:11.748
control and decentralized execution

01:11.748 --> 01:13.914
framework that allows the Air force to

01:13.914 --> 01:16.839
fly fight and win now and into the

01:16.849 --> 01:17.849
future .

01:26.160 --> 01:28.104
To adopt mission command . We must

01:28.104 --> 01:29.938
first build in our culture , the

01:29.938 --> 01:32.160
attributes is supported . These are the

01:32.160 --> 01:34.271
five CS of a mic command culture . We

01:34.271 --> 01:36.104
will build character . A mission

01:36.104 --> 01:37.771
command culture is built on a

01:37.771 --> 01:39.938
foundation of mutual respect and trust

01:39.938 --> 01:42.049
by airmen of good character . We will

01:42.049 --> 01:44.220
champion competence , tactically ,

01:44.230 --> 01:46.110
technically , intellectually and

01:46.120 --> 01:48.064
cognitively competent commanders ,

01:48.064 --> 01:50.480
subordinates and teams are foundational

01:50.489 --> 01:53.800
to a mission command culture . We will

01:53.809 --> 01:56.260
maximize capability . Organizations

01:56.269 --> 01:58.213
should align themselves to reflect

01:58.213 --> 02:00.436
mission command principles , streamline

02:00.436 --> 02:02.547
processes and increase autonomy while

02:02.547 --> 02:04.436
avoiding unnecessary complexity ,

02:04.436 --> 02:08.029
bureaucracies and micro management , we

02:08.039 --> 02:10.399
will foster cohesion , team , unity and

02:10.410 --> 02:12.410
camaraderie are built by individual

02:12.410 --> 02:14.869
relationships . Celebrate the unit's

02:14.880 --> 02:17.419
collective identity . Capacity is the

02:17.429 --> 02:19.651
measurement of our readiness to execute

02:19.651 --> 02:21.651
mission command . Build the mission

02:21.651 --> 02:23.651
command attributes to transform our

02:23.651 --> 02:25.873
culture . While the attributes describe

02:25.873 --> 02:25.869
the qualities necessary to build a

02:25.880 --> 02:27.713
culture of mission command , the

02:27.713 --> 02:29.880
principles of mission command dictates

02:29.880 --> 02:31.824
the actions necessary to apply the

02:31.824 --> 02:33.880
mission command philosophy , provide

02:33.880 --> 02:35.991
clear commander's intent , give teams

02:35.991 --> 02:37.991
the what the why the left and right

02:37.991 --> 02:40.213
boundaries and the desired instinct and

02:40.213 --> 02:42.529
then let them execute , create shared

02:42.539 --> 02:44.899
understanding , share unit knowledge ,

02:44.910 --> 02:46.966
unit capabilities and challenges the

02:46.966 --> 02:49.077
team is facing to increase the team's

02:49.077 --> 02:51.021
situational awareness and decision

02:51.021 --> 02:52.910
making ability , use mission type

02:52.910 --> 02:54.966
orders when appropriate focus on the

02:54.966 --> 02:56.910
team's purpose and your intent and

02:56.910 --> 02:58.743
empower subordinates to take the

02:58.743 --> 03:00.966
initiative and accomplish the mission ,

03:00.966 --> 03:02.910
build teams through mutual trust ,

03:02.910 --> 03:05.077
trust can only be earned , build trust

03:05.077 --> 03:07.188
through shared experiences , exercise

03:07.188 --> 03:09.270
discipline , initiative be proactive

03:09.539 --> 03:11.761
when the situation unexpectedly changes

03:11.761 --> 03:13.761
take charge , be flexible , operate

03:13.761 --> 03:15.928
within your commander's intent and get

03:15.928 --> 03:18.089
the job done except prudent risk .

03:18.419 --> 03:20.641
There is no such thing as a zero risk .

03:20.641 --> 03:22.641
Air force commanders should analyze

03:22.641 --> 03:24.475
risk in collaboration with their

03:24.475 --> 03:26.586
supporters to balance tension between

03:26.586 --> 03:28.808
protecting the force and completing the

03:28.808 --> 03:30.641
mission . When I think about our

03:30.641 --> 03:30.440
doctrine , when I think about mission

03:30.449 --> 03:34.080
command , it's about our arm , it's

03:34.089 --> 03:36.970
about providing intent , trust and

03:36.979 --> 03:39.770
empowerment to execute what the nation

03:39.779 --> 03:42.570
has asked us to do . We will not be

03:42.580 --> 03:44.636
able to execute the air force future

03:44.636 --> 03:46.524
operating concept without mission

03:46.524 --> 03:49.830
command . It takes practice and

03:49.839 --> 03:52.869
intentional development was brief

03:52.880 --> 03:55.190
Michigan man . You must train Mr

03:55.199 --> 03:57.559
Command , you must exercise Michigan

03:57.570 --> 03:59.919

04:01.399 --> 04:03.750
