  • African Air Chiefs Symposium Employing the Network of African Airman to Increase African Aviation Capacity
    AFRICAN AIR CHIEFS SYMPOSIUM EMPLOYING THE NETWORK OF AFRICAN AIRMAN TO INCREASE AFRICAN AVIATION CAPACITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 14-17 September 2015 Nouakchott, Mauritania United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) – United States Air Forces Africa (AFAFRICA) and the Etat Major de l’Armée de l’Air des Forces Aérienne de Mauritanie (Headquarters Mauritanian Air Force) co-hosted the fifth annual African Air Chiefs Symposium. Air Force Chiefs of Staff and Deputy Chiefs of Staff from eighteen African countries1 participated in the event, which focused on continuing to build a network of airmen to increase the capabilities of airpower in Africa. The symposium goals included: improving air operations across the continent; identifying key policy, institutional, operational, and capacity challenges confronting African Air Chiefs; exchanging ideas on how to develop African airpower to effectively support the full range of military operations; providing a venue where African air force leaders can network, build trust, and define areas for future operational cooperation; laying the foundation to expand the forum into a decision-making organization; incorporating the African Union (AU) to address continental-wide air requirements; promoting the relevance of airpower in joint and multi-national operations using vignettes and examples of air force successes presented by Air Chiefs; and lastly, developing an action plan that outlines specific items to accomplish in the near-term. Throughout the week, the air chiefs examined the role of airpower in providing security in their countries and regions, the challenges facing this objective, and the steps they must take to reach their goals. They specifically noted the importance of political will and the pervasive lack of familiarity with the role of air forces in providing security.
