I recently sat down with General Kevin Schneider and Command Chief Master Sergeant Katie McCool, the command element of America’s Pacific Air Forces (PACAF). During our conversation, one of the topics I was particularly interested in was what lessons PACAF (and the Air Force as a whole) could learn from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Here’s what they had to say. Huge thanks to the incredible Airmen and civilians out there at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam for all of their help and hospitality during my recent trip!
