Command is the highest privilege that we can bestow upon any Air Force officer. To be a good commander, you have to have a passion for both the mission you are assigned and for your people. Leaders have got to be physically vigorous. You've got to be visible, and you've got to show a kind of leadership that instills pride, confidence and optimism in the troops. One of the first things a leader should do is take inventory of your people to determine how you can leverage their skills to achieve the unit mission.
Air dominance is the ultimate in air superiority.
It entails the ability to take away the enemy's sanctuaries, to own his air space, and to operate there with impunity. Gaining superiority over somebody else's air space has been one of the constants in warfare of the 20th century. It's the key to winning battles and wars with fewest casualties. Air superiority gives you both freedom from attack and freedom to attack. The F-22 is a revolutionary aircraft.
