During a keynote address at the Air and Space Forces Association’s Air, Space and Cyber Conference at National Harbor, Maryland, today, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin spoke of the service’s recent successes — both real-world and exercise-based — while also underscoring the importance of keeping a winning pace when facing our nation’s adversaries.
Allvin led off his remarks discussing the complexity of the Air Force’s successful execution of Operation Midnight Hammer, the June 21 mission during which numerous Air Force assets inflicted significant damage on Iran’s nuclear program at three separate sites.
