THE NEED FOR CHILDCARE PROFESSIONALS A SPECIAL TRUST AND RESPONSIBILITY MISSION

摘要

With a U.S. national strategy centered on strategic competition and a growing national defense focus on China and Russia, ensuring viable deterrence is a must. There is no greater deterrent than the intercontinental ballistic missiles available to America. This responsibility is shared by only three missile wings across the United States Air Force. Working at a missile wing responsible for ensuring intercontinental ballistic missiles remain safe, secure, and effective is no small task. It is a special trust and responsibility mission and remains in clear focus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. To achieve mission success clearly takes the specialized skillset and dedication of missileers. But there are a host of other professionals working across a series of specialties to ensure we fulfill the important mission of deterrence - from security professionals to communication experts, from logisticians to a range of personnel support services necessary to sustain our force. But ensuring our military members can stay focused on their mission requires more than just the traditional expertise in the workplace. It requires others who support another special trust and responsibility mission. Some of the unsung heroes of our military communities are the professionals who work tirelessly to provide child care and development.
