Lt Gen Bauernfeind assumes role as 22nd Air Force Academy superintendent
. . . .“It is an honor to lead the Air Force Academy with its rich history and legacy of developing leaders. I can tell you that my time as a cadet (class of '91) played a pivotal role in laying the foundation for me as a leader for the past 33 years,” said Bauernfeind upon assuming command. “I am excited to return to this extraordinary team that is dedicated to developing our next generation of combat-ready leaders.”
Having served his entire career in U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command, most recently as its top general, Bauernfeind has a unique perspective and decades of expertise in developing lethal warfighters.
. . . “As we look to the future, it is clear we are in a time of consequence, with geopolitical instability ever evident in our headlines,” said Bauernfeind. “Our officers must be prepared on day one to lead in a dynamic and changing world against adversaries wishing to harm our nation, our allies, and our partners.”
“As a military academy, our priorities are the foundation of everything we will do,” said Bauernfeind. “Every activity, every action, and every program we have must support and reflect our priorities. And we will focus on our priorities, which are: we will develop war fighters to win. We will develop leaders of character and quality. And we will develop critical thinkers to adapt.”
