🌟 Leadership Spotlight: Gen. George C. Kenney - A Doctrine Paragon in WWII 🌟

Taking command of the Allied Air Forces in the Southwest Pacific Area in 1942, Kenney faced immense challenges. His innovative strategies, such as distributing control and empowering smaller Air Task Forces, turned the tide in the Pacific Theater. Kenney's approach exemplifies the Air Force's Mission Command principles and has significantly influenced modern military tactics. His legacy continues to inspire and shape future doctrine, as the Air Force seeks to adopt a modern Air Task Force construct.
