	Air Force Chief of Staff Testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Rapid global mobility, precision engagement, global attack, air and space superiority, information superiority, and combat support are the core competencies that the Air Force expertly provides to combatant commanders and to our nation.

	Air Force Suicide Prevention Program
		The Chief of Staff required the principle agencies at each geographical location to work together to assess the needs of the population they serve, develop a consolidated plan targeting their collective resources to a prioritized list of those needs, collaboratively market the resources to the community, and evaluate the effectiveness of their plan.
		Although the first two would not be expected to have been a factor for the special population in the Air Force, it would be useful to study the influence the third may have had in the context of attempting to de-stigmatize seeking help for mental health problems.
		The Air Force is distinct in that its leadership authority is especially concentrated and hierarchical, all members are employed by the same employer, housing and health care—including mental health care—is universally available, the population is pre-screened for serious brain disorders, and the gatekeeper network is unusually well organized.
