Effective realisation of national power in support of Australia’s national interests requires all Aviators to have a clear understanding of their contribution on a macro-level in order to work together towards it as a shared goal.
A member’s comprehension of Air Force’s role in achieving national power and, by extension, the member’s understanding of their own contribution and that of their Unit and FEG is integral to the successful realisation of Air Force strategic objectives; explicitly Air Force Strategy (AFSTRAT) Line Of Effort (LOE) 1 and 2.
So to what extent does the workforce understand these concepts? To find out, a survey was conducted across a number of Air Force Units; 1CCS, JEWOSU, SPS, and HRIS. The survey asked respondents questions to identify:
- How well they understood what national power is.
- How well they understood Air Force’s contribution to national power in terms of:
- government papers
- doctrine and strategic guidance
- capabilities (mustering’s, specialisations and assets)
- activities (operations and exercises)
- How well they thought someone of their rank should understand national power.
The survey used a scale of 1 – 5 to indicate understanding, with the below ratings.
- 1 - No understanding
- 2 - Limited understanding
- 3 - Could follow a conversation with colleagues
- 4 - Could contribute meaningfully to conversations
- 5 - Could deliver a brief to their unit.
Survey results
The data collected from the survey has been presented through two graphs. Figure 1 shows each rank’s perceived understanding of national power on the scale of 1-5. A takeaway from this graph is that the understanding of national power increases as one progresses through their career. In addition, the mode of national power we understand the most is in our activities followed by capabilities, doctrine, strategic guidance and lastly government papers. Air Force members have the best understanding of national power due to their everyday interactions with capabilities and activities. The written form represents the weakest understanding.
Figure 1. Perceived understanding of national power
Figure 2 compares a member’s actual understanding of national power to what they think their rank should understand. The first key takeaway is all ranks think they should have a better understanding of national Power than they currently do. This is reflected by the gap between the light and dark blue lines. The gap widens as the two rank structures progress which indicates as rank increases, they think they should have a better understanding of national power.

Survey insights
So what does this data tell us in terms of gaining more insight into what our junior ranks understanding of national power is in relation to the above mentioned survey questions?
The Air Power Contributions Framework from the newly released Air Power Manual 7th Edition at Figure 3 displays national power with the DIME model circling a ‘core’ of national objectives being fed from an outer circle of projected air power contributions. It is evident from the survey that the junior workforces’ understanding of national power is more aligned to their contributions to the military element in particular, compared to their contributions to the other elements of the DIME construct. This finding was not surprising. Could we then argue their ‘awareness’ of the other elements are just as important and their contributions to them are more prevalent than they think?
Figure 3. Air Power Contributions Framework pp.4-1 Air and Space Manual 7th, Edition
The survey also identified insignificant gaps between both a junior and senior ranks understanding of capabilities, showing that this is not an issue at any level of the workforce. The reason for this? In our opinion this could be due to a few emerging factors.
We can see plausible correlations from PMET09 to the implementation of Program Wirraway (PME) in terms of evolving a focus on expanding our junior workforces understanding of capability, operations and deployments. We assess that this provides an understanding from the previous Level 2 content that was entry level PME (CPL/PTOFF, FLGOFF) of PMET09 to introducing discussions and wider Air Force understanding at PME level 1 (AC/W, LAC/W). We are certainly moving towards creating a better baseline understanding earlier on in our aviator’s careers. This has enabled the junior workforce the opportunity to understand the ‘joint’ or indeed the wider Air Force picture, and how to implement discussion and understanding on how they contribute or ‘fit’ in terms of the wider Air Force and the ADF as a whole. This has enhanced their baseline understanding to national power towards strategic effects from the outset which further complements AFSTRAT intent and complements strategic acumen at junior ranks. Joint PME (JPME) has also re-aligned to include lower rank levels as part of creating this awareness earlier on in a member’s career.
Even though this shift has significant effects on how we influence a junior workforces understanding of their effects of national power since 2019, it is important to note that PME and JPME cannot solve all of our professional educational gaps. Particularly when it comes to junior workforces understanding of national power. As demonstrated in Figure 1 there are gaps shown in the survey results in relation to strategic guidance and government papers. The deficit and solution clearly lays in the shift between our junior workforce having an ‘awareness’ of versus actual comprehension of guidance such as CAF guidance, AFSTRAT and other governmental papers including the Defence White Paper 16 and Defence Strategic Update.
The introduction of AFSTRAT at PME level 2 to compliment LOE 2 and LOE 4 in order to bring the workforce to a level where strategic acumen is obtainable and most importantly understandable for the junior workforce, will create larger buy in for our juniors to understand national power. We are already becoming an organisation moving from a foundation of platform-centred comprehension of capability to a wider, more contemporary understanding of joint effects contributing to national power.
So What?
The gaps that were identified have already begun to be addressed by some initiatives such as the transition to updated PME—though formal PME can only form one part of the solution. Available courses that have strong links to strategic-mindedness such as Introduction to Joint Operations provide ways for the junior workforce to develop their knowledge. The transition of this course and others like it to an online environment, without the need for specific contact hours allows training to be available when individuals have the opportunity.
Formal courses aren’t necessarily why areas such as activities rated higher in the survey but rather the level of engagement individuals have with this topic over large, strategic level documents. It’s no surprise that crew room conversations are more likely to focus around recent trips or new platforms as opposed to government papers and strategic guidance; therefore, when planning training, either for specific courses or an ongoing Unit development plan, emphasis should be placed on these areas to compensate for the expected lack of social conversation. They should be discussed at a conversation level by instructors where appropriate so they are not seen as documents that are simply left to those of a higher rank.
In conclusion, individuals should be encouraged to regularly revisit concepts of national power relevant to their rank and experience level. Individuals should also be empowered to have more conversation around them and within their workplace, and not be intimidated by a document just because it contains strategic concepts. Developing an individual’s understanding of national power that is appropriate for their rank and experience is vital in ensuring the realisation of AFSTRAT LOE1 and LOE2.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

CRYPTO SCAM RECOVERY SUCCESSFUL – A TESTIMONIAL OF LOST PASSWORD TO YOUR DIGITAL WALLET BACK.
My name is Robert Alfred, Am from Australia. I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it helps others who have been victims of crypto scams. A few months ago, I fell victim to a fraudulent crypto investment scheme linked to a broker company. I had invested heavily during a time when Bitcoin prices were rising, thinking it was a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I was scammed out of $120,000 AUD and the broker denied me access to my digital wallet and assets. It was a devastating experience that caused many sleepless nights. Crypto scams are increasingly common and often involve fake trading platforms, phishing attacks, and misleading investment opportunities. In my desperation, a friend from the crypto community recommended Capital Crypto Recovery Service, known for helping victims recover lost or stolen funds. After doing some research and reading multiple positive reviews, I reached out to Capital Crypto Recovery. I provided all the necessary information—wallet addresses, transaction history, and communication logs. Their expert team responded immediately and began investigating. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they were able to trace the stolen Dogecoin, identify the scammer’s wallet, and coordinate with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they could be moved. Incredibly, within 24 hours, Capital Crypto Recovery successfully recovered the majority of my stolen crypto assets. I was beyond relieved and truly grateful. Their professionalism, transparency, and constant communication throughout the process gave me hope during a very difficult time. If you’ve been a victim of a crypto scam, I highly recommend them with full confidence contacting:

I want to express my sincere appreciation for all the work you and your team has done for me in retrieving my USDT assets from a cheating investment platform that I acquainted myself with through their broker agent on LinkedIn. I was not sure what I was getting myself into when I spoke with you a month ago…I did not think you could get my USDT assets extracted from the scammers as soon as you did. I was very skeptical at first because it was my first time hearing of someone not to mention a firm capable of tracing and retrieving digital assets lost to fraudulent transactions. After being turned down for a withdrawal request, I approached their support desk and the agent for assistance but to my dismay they were asking me for some sort of settlement each time before I Could withdraw my funds. A friend from work said to look up " PROMPTTECH RECOVERY AGENT " in the Internet and so I did. After going through about a dozen different infos on firm’s and recovery agents, I was getting a bit discouraged then I finally saw your ’ PROMPTTECH RECOVERY info and liked the reviews I read. No red-flags went off so I decided to make contact. It was an easy, laid-back conversation explaining everything that can be done to recoup my digital assets and improve my financial situation. It sounded good to me so I took you up on your offer. In just three days of hard work on THIS GREAT team’s part, my USDT assets was successfully recovered from the scam platform.
