Air Force Safety...the goal is zero mishaps!

摘要

Over the past 10 years, we have prevailed in combat in Kosovo, Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Iraq. We have toppled dictators, provided opportunities for democracy to flourish, and destroyed terrorist networks. We have demonstrated time and time again that we are the greatest Air Force in the world. I am very proud of our record in combat and in securing our nation's safety. But we aren't doing enough to keep our Airmen safe. During those same 10 years, the Air Force has lost more than 1000 Airmen in accidents that shouldn't have happened and could have been prevented. People are our most important resource and our greatest investment. We have to protect them. It is tragic to lose a fellow Airman and every time we do we also lose a piece of our combat capability. We can do better.
