tabQuotable Quotes
"This Expeditionary Center has been trailblazing the road less traveled for 15 years."
Dr. Randal Pinkett 
Entrepreneur, Author, Rhodes Scholar, Winner of Season 4 on NBC's The Apprentice
15th Anniversary Speakers Series
August 12, 2009



"The training I told you about was absolutely amazing.... We were actually shot with paint-filled M-16 bullets during MOUT [Military Operations in Urban Terrain] training but it sure did make us aware to never turn our back when we are trying to enter a door after blasting through it! ...Wearing 30 lbs of Kevlar for two weeks was tough, especially when you start low crawling, jumping out of HMMVV's and trying to avoid getting shot.... I was the only nurse out of the 250 students which surprised me, and I even had a Rabbi in my fire team!...There were PA folks, lawyers, personnel folks...The instructors were amazing and had the best attitude of any group of folks I've met."

Major Stacey Coleman, ACST Class 0908 graduate
Excerpts from a letter to her 96 ABW/CC after attending Advanced Contingency Skills Course
11 Aug 2009
 


"The Air Force mission to fly, fight and win ... in air, space and cyberspace takes a lot of effort across all of our specialties. It's a huge team effort. In fact, most of the Air Force does not actually fly airplanes. Most of the Air Force is devoted to the work of preparing those air, space and cyber capabilities for wartime deployments. The kind of work that gets done at the Expeditionary Center reminds us that 'airpower ... from the ground up' is where we start."
Secretary of the Air Force
Michael Donley
during his visit to
the Expeditionary 
Center on March 31, 2009

"It was an honor to show Secretary Donley the results of the investment the Expeditionary Center team made in us as Airmen warriors throughout ACST. Without exception, each Airman I spoke with during training called it the best in their Air Force experiences. The connection the cadre and course material built between the students and the warrior ethos is amazing. I saw the class change as combat skills and confidence grew through each training element. I'm glad Secretary Donley had the opportunity to see a small part of the return on this Air Force investment."
Col. Lindsey Borg, 
from AMC

at Scott AFB , Ill.,

"You're the advanced combat skills people ... you provide that great service for us."

"I love what's in your charter ... airpower starts on the ground ... it's so true."

"I think you have an identity far and above a Regional Training Center. The five RTCs are specifically focused - you are a Macro Training Center to me."
Brig. Gen. 
Mary Kay Hertog,
Air Force Director 
of Security Forces
