D³: Develop - Language + Culture = Speed

At the heart of the National Defense Strategy is a critical mandate: increase burden sharing with our allies and partners. For Air University's Language Enabled Airman Program (LEAP), this isn’t just policy: it’s their fundamental operational purpose.

Through specialized Mobile Training Team (MTT) missions, LEAP scholars developed by the United States Air Force Culture and Language Center (AFCLC) are integrating seamlessly with global coalition partners to build trust, enhance interoperability, and strengthen joint force effectiveness.

Whether it is French LEAP Scholar Tech. Sgt. Messan Atayi strengthening ISR capabilities with Djiboutian forces in U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), or U.S. Space Force Capt. Tia Scoggan enhancing emergency airfield operations in Indonesia for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, these scholars are elevating partner nations across the globe.

As AFCLC Director Howard Ward notes, "Airmen skilled in languages and cultures with deliberate development to ‘speak Air Force’ in the target language are central to achieving this important pillar of the NDS... Tactically, language + culture = speed."
