LETTER From page 3 The chiefs look to instill this call to action at all levels of professional military education, from recruits entering the service to general and flag officers, officials said. The chiefs set out five lines of effort: prevention, investigation, accountability, advocacy and assessment. The lines of effort will be governed by overarching tenets — leadership, communication, culture, integration and resourcing — that will guide how the lines of effort will be implemented. Sexual assault in the military is a problem that all service members must face, the chiefs said. The top uniformed leaders have set goals for themselves, too, and spelled out their tasks in the strategic direction. The chiefs will engage commanders, leaders and service communities worldwide to promote the health and discipline of the force. They will work with the combatant commanders to identify additional requirements that may be needed and examine how to improve sexual assault prevention in forward-deployed locations. Also, the chiefs will work closely with the Office of the Secretary of Defense to resource the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program and will establish a quarterly executive council "dedicated to a candid and enduring dialogue designed to assess the effectiveness of operationalizing (Sexual Assault Prevention and Response) into commands across the joint force."

Angelico explained the competition and awards processes: "Each course who believes they are able to compete with the best submits an application for consideration. The Air Force consists of several major commands, seven or eight, and each command chooses a winner. The command winners go on to compete for the Air Force level award. We have won the command award four years in a row and now we've been recognized as the Air Force winner two out of the last three years." According to Angelico, the facilities receive rankings on customer loyalty and recently received national recognition from the National Golf Foundation (NGF) as the runner up facility out of all those surveyed, for their customer approval ratings. "We feel honored to be recognized by an industry leader like the National Golf Foundation," said Angelico. |
