CSAF: Taking care of installations takes care of mission, Airmen

"National security affects us all – we're in this together," was the resounding message of the 2022 Association of Defense Communities' National Defense Summit March 8.

The annual event brings together senior Defense Department leaders, community leaders, and Congressional members to advance issues that build strong communities and support the military, including infrastructure, climate, housing, cost of living, education, spouse employment, child care and resiliency.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr., was a keynote speaker at the summit, where he discussed the importance of collaboration between stakeholders.

"One of the things I did when I came in was write Accelerate Change or Lose. There was a key word I put in there, and I put it in for a purpose — collaboration. The things we do, we cannot do by ourselves," Brown said.
