AFA in Action
A Message from the President
March 31, 2026
Friends,
If this is your first time receiving “AFA in Action,” then welcome to the Air & Space Forces Association! This is our monthly newsletter that all AFA members receive, which offers you a brief, yet holistic report of everything your AFA has been working on—from Mitchell Institute leaders and research making headlines, to inside scoops from Air & Space Forces Magazine, to upcoming events, to how our volunteers are supporting Airmen and Guardians in the field, and even more.
When we introduced our Mission Membership tier this month, AFA surged from around 130,000 members to more than 350,000. This growth is indicative of how far AFA’s reach extends, and how great our impact can be—and it’s just the beginning. I want every Airman, Guardian, veteran, DoW civilian, military spouse, industry innovator, and enthusiast to know AFA has a place for them.
Tell your friends to join us by visiting www.afa.org/join.
Thank you for being an AFA member, whether you’re new this month or joined a long time ago. Each and every member contributes to “AFA in Action”—I hope you enjoy.
Let’s make a difference.
Lt. Gen. Burt Field, USAF (Ret.)
President & CEO
