There are eight contributions from Air Chiefs and independent experts examining the current status of eight air forces in Europe, including Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, France, Germany, Turkey, and Great Britain. Each contribution takes into account the geopolitical, operational infrastructures and national mili- tary organizations. It is evident that, if nations want to compete in the current geopolitical international arena, there is a cost impact to do so. There is a real need to deal with the financial restraints imposed by national governments and dictated by economic scenarios.

  • Volu Lexicon
    Volunteer University Lexicon Access There are two options to access the modules required to advance in the Senior Member Education and Training Program: the AXIS learning management system and Volunteer University (VolU) trained instructors. When a member joins CAP, the Level 1 modules are automatically loaded into AXIS. Former members with a break in service may need to email the [email protected] email address to get Level 1 modules loaded. When a member advances to the next level the automated modules are loaded into AXIS automatically. The exception is Level 2. A member must choose a path before Level 2 automated modules will load. If a member wishes to participate in Online training, the member must request a cohort. When a member is assigned to a cohort and the cohort begins, the moderated modules will be loaded into AXIS. Participation in Onsite training, either in person or via distance technology, does not require a cohort. The materials for onsite modules (study guides, exercise instructions, etc.) are provided by those facilitating the training and on the Volunteer University website. ACSC Air Command and Staff College An Air Force Professional Military Education School for field grade officers, completion of which earns equivalency credit for some modules in several levels of the Senior Member Education and Training Program. See Professional Military Education. CAP members may be eligible to take ACSC through Air University Distance Learning. See AUDL. Assessment The methods (quiz, forum, worksheet, memorandum, report, etc.) used to determine if a student has met the Desired Learning Objectives for a module. Some assessments are graded automatically, and others require an instructor to grade them.
