The first issue of Air Force News for 2024 has a focus on leadership. A cornerstone of military life is the way we train our people to be leaders - leaders of themselves, their teams and eventually of the organisation. Our Leadership Framework is the guide on how to lead effectively in a military context and the stories in the magazine highlight how that framework is used effectively by our people, from Aircraftman to Air Marshal.
