00:07.190 --> 00:09.412
I've heard it said many times from from

00:09.412 --> 00:11.970
very wise leaders that the U . S . Has

00:11.970 --> 00:14.450
no god given right to victory on the

00:14.460 --> 00:18.130
battlefield . Achieving victory takes

00:18.130 --> 00:22.040
hard work , training , good equipment .

00:23.570 --> 00:25.626
But most importantly it takes unique

00:25.626 --> 00:28.900
people , people endowed with such a

00:28.900 --> 00:31.067
sense of pride and patriotism for this

00:31.067 --> 00:34.520
great nation and what it stands for

00:38.100 --> 00:40.211
that they are willing to sacrifice if

00:40.211 --> 00:42.400
need be for its ideals .

00:45.560 --> 00:47.750
Air education and Training Command .

00:47.810 --> 00:49.940
The First command for our Air Force

00:49.950 --> 00:53.590
simply must arm our airmen to out

00:53.590 --> 00:57.280
think . Outperform out

00:57.280 --> 01:00.980
partner out , innovate any

01:00.980 --> 01:04.230
potential adversary . And we must do

01:04.230 --> 01:06.174
this with a commitment to values .

01:06.174 --> 01:08.286
Because military prowess and economic

01:08.286 --> 01:10.960
might alone are not enough to secure

01:10.970 --> 01:14.810
the blessings of our liberty . Our

01:14.810 --> 01:17.280
challenges today run the continuum of

01:17.280 --> 01:20.560
the spectrum of conflict , from the low

01:20.560 --> 01:23.170
end irregular asymmetric threats that

01:23.170 --> 01:27.080
we see in the Middle East africa and

01:27.080 --> 01:30.470
europe to the high end ,

01:30.770 --> 01:32.770
exceptionally capable adversaries .

01:33.730 --> 01:37.030
Again , the Middle East , europe and

01:37.030 --> 01:40.980
the pacific Ap stock will tirelessly

01:40.980 --> 01:42.980
seek to strike the balance of these

01:42.980 --> 01:45.036
myriad challenges . We'll do this in

01:45.036 --> 01:47.202
terms of readiness and capability . We

01:47.202 --> 01:49.424
will do this with agility and inclusion

01:49.424 --> 01:51.424
always at our forefront and we will

01:51.424 --> 01:53.591
always have our most important asset ,

01:54.100 --> 01:57.510
our people , our airmen and families in

01:57.510 --> 01:58.060
