The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies invites you to watch or listen to our Aerospace Nation event with Gen Mark D. Kelly, Commander of Air Combat Command, and Gen James B. Hecker, Commander of U.S. Air Forces in Europe, U.S. Air Forces Africa, and Allied Air Command.
Europe and Africa encompass a region marked by distinct security considerations, whether discussing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, expanding NATO membership base, or continued threat posed by violent extremists in parts of Africa. Air Combat Command is a key force provider for U.S. Air Forces Europe and U.S. Air Forces Africa, with General Kelly and his team ensuring the right mix of capability and capacity are trained and available in theater. This conversation explores these security challenges and how we go about meeting requirements through the virtues and value afforded by airpower.
