Diversity is integral to core values

Diversity includes and involves all of us and it is one of the strengths of both our Nation and the U.S. Air Force. To remain the world’s premier Air Force, we must educate, recruit, mentor and maintain the best potential talent. Embracing each Airman’s strengths, perspectives, and capabilities will help build and sustain a diverse and inclusive culture that strengthens our service. To improve the most from diversity, Airmen must understand they are highly valued and always have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential while contributing to the mission of the Air Force. Leaders must continuously create an environment that promotes mutual respect and trust while promoting the development and mentorship of Airmen with different backgrounds and perspectives so they continue to grow and thrive within the U.S. Air Force.
