Understanding the Air Force Culture

<p>The Air Force has a rich distinct culture that developed naturally from its historic origins its unique view that technology in the third dimension could bring about a totally different manner of conducting war and its emphasis on individual accomplishments. Most programs in the Air Force are consistent with this technology-based culture but problems arise because of the failure to understand the various implications of this culture. An understanding of the Air Force's culture can explain many of its current beliefs and actions and senior leaders should understand the role that culture plays in determining the eventual success of the organization. More importantly an understanding of the Air Force's culture can enable senior leaders to know how to lead it into the future.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
