S1:E7: SFA Interview with Col "Sax" Mathes, USAF, Ret. "A prescription for advanced training in support of the Space Force warfighter culture development"

On this edition of “A Space Pro”, I interview Col Mike “Sax” Mathes, USAF retired, who recently ran the 414th combat training squadron at Nellis AFB, NV. The 414this responsible for planning and executing RED FLAG exercises designed to allow aircrews the opportunity to fight through their first 10 combat sorties. The intent was to allow tactical experts the opportunity to meet the most difficult threat before engaging on a live battlespace in support of a combatant commanders objectives. We discuss everything from warfighting culture to a prescription to the Space Force on advanced training opportunities.
