MARCH 9, 2026 – Airmen, over the past few days, Operation Epic Fury has shown the world exactly what Airmen are capable of. When the nation calls, you deliver. This major combat operation demonstrates the unmatched reach, capacity, and lethality of the United States Air Force.
Right now, Airmen are taking the fight straight to the adversary. We are unleashing American airpower as an overwhelming force, destroying any and all enemy targets. When we fight, we control the skies, crush the opposition, and get the job done. We will dominate and win.
Adversaries are finding out the hard way what happens when they challenge us. They see disciplined teams operating at the highest level. They see a force that seized the advantage and continues to punish its enemy from the skies. They see an unrelenting Air Force never slowing the pace of attack. They see Airmen that will never stop short of victory.
Airmen are our most important and powerful weapon, and we need you ready to fight. Physical, mental, spiritual and unit readiness are imperative. Stay vigilant and prepared. Take care of yourselves and your Wingmen. We are grateful for our families, who bear a unique and demanding role yet continually demonstrate uncommon resilience and strength.
I am proud of our Commanders and the incredible, devoted Airmen who are enabling the joint team to fight and win. We have more work to do – stay sharp. Fight’s On!
