What is Science for Primary School Children

Abstract: The United States Air Force approved creation of a Force Development Commander and assigned this new role to the Commander, Air Education and Training Command. The force development commander will execute force development policy (established by the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel) and will provide agility, advocacy and accountability for the force development efforts. The force development commander is charged with executing and leading the strategic development of “total force” Airmen (i.e. airmen from Air National Guard, Air Force Reserves, Regular Air Force, and Civilian Service). This action will be accomplished through a deliberate process that combines education, training, and experiences, known as the Continuum of Learning, to produce the right expertise and competencies to meet the operational needs. The force development commander will lead, synchronize, and operationalize deliberate development through the Continuum of Learning as a comprehensive process by identifying, assessing, integrating, advocating, and tracking requirements and resources. In these ways the force development commander ensures appropriate focus on force development initiatives to address air force secretary and chief of staff.
