Comprehensive Airman Fitness is a holistic approach to develop over-arching Airman fitness and resilience. "Airman" collectively refers to military, civilian, and family members. CAF includes fitness in mental, physical, social, and spiritual domains and is not a stand-alone program or specified training class; instead, CAF is a cultural shift in how we view and maintain fitness in a more comprehensive manner and enables Airmen to hold each other accountable against Air Force Core Values. CAF provides an integrated framework that encompasses many cross-functional education and training efforts, activities, programs, and other equities that play a contributory role in sustaining a fit, resilient, and ready force. Leaders and individuals throughout the force must understand, promote, and support CAF.

Mission:  To develop and maintain comprehensive diversity and inclusion initiatives ensuring all qualified individuals are welcomed, valued, and have the opportunity to achieve their full potential while contributing to the mission of the Air Force

Vision: An honest and respectful environment for open communication related to racial biases and any other identified disparities.

The work of increasing diversity and creating inclusive environments is challenging to all organizations.  Successful implementation of diversity and inclusion efforts will require a strong foundation that must include:

• - Senior leaders making diversity and inclusion a priority.

• - Inseparable linkage to mission.

• - Deliberate and effective training and education.

• - Strategic communication.

• - Sustained commitment at all levels.

With this foundation in place, it will help integrate the operational imperatives of diversity and inclusion into the overall 20 FW priorities.  This is our effort to focus on transformational change required to build a diverse force and establish inclusive environments.
