Dave Goldfein at the Air Force Association\u2019s Air, Space &amp; Cyber Conference in National Harbor, Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the latest development in the Air Force\u2019s push to revitalize squadrons, one of Goldfein\u2019s top priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The one-star heading up that effort, Brig. Gen. Stephen Davis, said Wednesday that he expects to deliver his task force\u2019s recommendations to Goldfein by November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/air-force-association\/\"><b>Check out all our coverage from the Air Space Cyber Conference.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of the things the chief asked me to do was, \u2018If there are things you find out along the way that don\u2019t have to wait until you come back in November with your final report, we should get after those right away,\u2019 \u201c Davis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The squadron leadership course was one of those, he said. Others have included the directives to eliminate unnecessary duties and purge <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2017\/03\/10\/goldfein-cut-out-pointless-afis-to-empower-squadron-commanders\/\">unnecessary Air Force instructions<\/a>, give commanders a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2017\/08\/30\/squadron-commanders-now-get-a-weeks-heads-up-on-promotions\/\">heads up on promotions<\/a>, and provide more support staff for squadrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More changes are on the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLiterally, my team is back at the Pentagon right now building those recommendations,\u201d Davis said. \u201cIt\u2019s a little premature to talk about \u2026 what they are, but we\u2019re working with a number of other folks to come up with those. They\u2019ll be in the final report.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2016\/09\/20\/goldfein-air-force-must-redefine-our-21st-century-squadron\/\"><b>Goldfein: Air Force must &#8216;redefine our 21st century squadron\u2019<\/b><\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But airmen can expect clearer guidance on whether they, and their squadrons, are succeeding, Davis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of the areas we saw that we think is important is the ability of squadrons to identify what their specific manner of success is, then be able to measure and track that,\u201d he said. \u201cWe saw that the best squadrons were able to do that, and that had a very positive effect on leadership and the members of the squadron understanding their link to the mission and to the defense of the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An overhaul of the officer evaluation system is also in the works, Davis said, echoing what other senior leaders have been saying in recent months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s been some significant changes to the enlisted evaluation system, and those have largely been positive, but we think our officer evaluation system needs to change,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s been out there for about 30 years,\u201d he noted. \u201cWe don\u2019t believe it\u2019s providing very good feedback to our officer corps, and we think that\u2019s an area for improvement as well.\u201d<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Air Force will begin providing leadership training for squadron commanders and superintendents, the units\u2019 senior enlisted
