Tallman, List of Superintendents of the United States Air Force Academy, Michael C. Gould, Paul E. Stein, Robert E. Kelley, Robert H. Warren, Tad J. Oelstrom, Thomas S. Moorman, William S. Stone, Winfield W. Scott, Jr.. Excerpt: The Superintendent of the United States Air Force Academy is the senior officer and commander of the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The position is normally held by an active duty Air Force lieutenant general, and is roughly equivalent to the president of a university. Because the Academy is a Direct Reporting Unit, the Superintendent reports directly to the Air Force Chief of Staff. The Superintendent oversees all aspects of the Academy, including military training, academics, athletics, admissions and the base infrastructure. The position of Superintendent is established by statute, under 10 U.S.C. 9333 and 10 U.S.C. 9333a. Under those sections of law, the Superintendent is appointed by the President of the United States, must serve as Superintendent at least three years, and must retire at the end of his tour as Superintendent, unless the retirement is waived by the Secretary of Defense under 10 U.S.C. 8921. The practice of mandatory retirement has changed over time, however, as many early Superintendents went on to higher positions in the Air Force after their terms at the Academy. Lieutenant General Robert E. Kelley (born November 3, 1933) was a U.S. Air Force general, and former Superintendent of the United States Air Force Academy. He retired from the U.S. Air Force on September 1, 1986. Kelley was born in 1933 in Albany, New York and was raised in New Canaan, Connecticut. He attended...

Download or read book Educating Air Forces written by Randall Wakelam and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compared to armies and navies, which have existed as professional fighting services for centuries, the technology that makes air forces possible is much newer. As a result, these services have had to quickly develop methods of preparing aviators to operate in conditions ranging from peace or routine security to full-scale war. The first book to address the history and scope of air power professionalization through learning programs, Educating Air Forces offers valuable new insight into strategy and tactics worldwide. Here, a group of international experts examine the philosophies, policies, and practices of air service educational efforts in the United States, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, Canada, and the UK. The contributors discuss the founding, successes, and failures of European air force learning programs between the Great War and World War II and explore how the tense Cold War political climate influenced the creation, curriculum, and results of various programs. They also consider how educational programs are adapting to soldiers' needs and the demands of modern warfare. Featuring contributions from eminent scholars in the field, this volume surveys the learning approaches globally employed by air forces in the past century and evaluates their effectiveness. Educating Air Forces reveals how experiential learning and formal education are not only inextricably intertwined, but also necessary to cope with advances in modern warfare.

This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: West Point graduates played a central role in developing U.S. military air and space power from the earliest days of mechanized flight through the establishment of the U.S. Air Force in 1947, and continuing through the Persian Gulf War. These graduates served at a time when the world's greatest wave of technological advancement occurred: in aviation, nuclear weapons, rocketry, ICBMs, computers, satellite systems in inner space and man in outer space. This history traces the advancement of weapons and space technology that became the hallmark of the U.S. Air Force, and the pivotal role that West Point graduates played in integrating them into a wide variety of Air Force systems and programs. Many became aircraft commanders, test pilots, astronauts and, later in their careers, general officers who helped shape and implement technologies still in use today.
