The visit began with breakfast with Airmen at the La Dolce Vita Dining Facility, where senior leaders spoke directly with Airmen to learn about Aviano AB’s contributions to the Air Force mission.
“Meeting the senior leaders of the force was extremely rewarding,” said Staff Sgt. Alban Rivas, 31st Maintenance Group weapon systems coordinator. “After speaking to our (Air Force senior leaders) I was able to learn key factors of their vision and (how) they want to take the (U.S. Air Force) to a more technologically sound, and people-first culture within their term.”
The next stop was the Comprehensive Operational Medicine for Battle Ready Airmen, or COBRA, Clinic, where Airmen receive rapid evaluation sensitive to the operations of their unit and their unique requirements in an evidence-based way.
