The Air Force is looking for America's best- not just for Air Force Special Warfare but for the entire Air Force. One of the main questions we get is, "How early should I start training for the Air Force- and what should I do?" Well, as always, we brought on the Subject Matter experts to address just that for Air Force Special Operations hopefuls and everyone across the United States looking to become part of the world's greatest Air Force! JD Mata and Zach Kinninger are experienced athletes and coaches who went from accomplished Top 25 collegiate football teams to the Special Warfare Candidate Course. While working with the best coaching staff in the DoD at Joint Base San Antonio, their team realized that they needed to go above and beyond to get a higher success rate. The USAF Special Warfare Pre-Accession Preparation Manual was born from that initial idea. After thousands of man-hours utilizing cutting-edge research and tons of data, the SWCC team was able to field the step-by-step playbook for success in Air Force Special Warfare pipelines and beyond.

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, US Air Force LtCol Dan “Plato” Morabito discusses his theory of information warfare. Plato takes what may be considered a first principles approach by defining objectively information, knowledge, and problems with knowing. Then, he assembles a novel taxonomy of information warfare which combines trust, access, and cognition–all of which are required for knowledge creation. After discussing “problems of knowing,” he defines information warfare and a theory for victory. Research Question: What is the role of the US Government to counter malign influence when the enemy is fighting for a strategic advantage directly with America's center of gravity, the American people, and can this be accomplished while preserving freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and other democratic principles?
