Continuing to Strengthen the Nuclear Enterprise: Educating Tomorrow's Leaders

Focusing on the Air Force's nuclear enterprise, this paper aims to equip instructors with the necessary tools to educate senior officers and civilians on nuclear topics. It proposes extending the CAPSTONE and APEX courses to include a dedicated day for nuclear enterprise discussions, particularly during USSTRATCOM visits. An online course would also be developed to supplement existing military education, covering key contributions from various Air Force commands, personnel requirements, and the importance of a triad of nuclear capabilities for national defense.
