Agile combat employment . The idea of
that is to be able to recover ,
reload , refuel and launch an aircraft
all while defending it with a small
footprint . So what the Ace training
does is it allows airmen to not just be
part of their A FSC but to become multi
capable airmen and actually train in a
different A FSC getting individuals out
of their comfort zone and into
different shops to learn jobs that that
will better support that mission to be
a multi capable airman . Uh That gives
me the opportunity to step outside of
my comfort zone , which is amo and move
in to see what other people on the base
are doing . So the biggest challenge I
would say is being able to balance your
time in order to add on these
additional requirements for training .
It's not just a one time thing where I
go up to weapons , I learn what they do .
And then later on down the road , I use
that we have to maintain qualifications .
When , when we typically think of
leaders , we think of the leaders
standing out front , making all the
decisions they're doing the training .
But with Ace , you step into these
different scenarios where you have
airmen leading and showing you and
teaching you what they know and they
are experts in their field . So it , it
gives me the opportunity to step back
and listen to them and to learn from
them . Ace is beneficial to the air
force because as you know , we have
limited manning , we have limited
resources and so we need to be able to
get out and , and be lean . We need to
be light and we need to be agile .
Being a multi capable airman makes you
better equipped to serve . And
ultimately , that's , that's why we are
all here and with , with things
changing in the world , you never
really know what's going to happen next ,
but we always have to be prepared for
it being lean light and agile . That's
at this point , the name of the game
and the best way to do that is to be
able to know and do and perform
multiple tasks outside of your comfort
zone and what you've typically learned .
