Cultivating a Warrior Ethos in the Air Force: Strategies for Developing Airminded Warriors in Initial Training : RAND Corporation , June 24 , 2026
From the report: “The Department of the Air Force is making several changes to the U.S. Air Force’s Basic Military Training (BMT) and technical training programs to develop Airminded Warriors—Airmen who have a deep understanding of the Air Force’s mission and embrace the service’s core values and a warrior ethos. In addition, they should be prepared to perform beyond their specific functional roles (career fields) to execute Air Force missions across domains and functions. As it makes changes to BMT and technical training to develop Airminded Warriors, Second Air Force asked RAND Project AIR FORCE to examine how the Air Force’s sister services build strong service identities, to identify lessons learned, and to recommend how the Air Force can apply those lessons to strengthen its own identity in Airmen.”
