HOPE Initiative
27th Special Operations Wing

Sometimes, all we need is a little HOPE

Recently, The Steadfast Line graduated its first HOPE specialists. These Air Commandos, denoted by their unique HOPE tab and new Specialized Experience Identifier, are trained to provide resources, guidance, and support as liaisons between their units and the base Chaplain team.

Cannon is one of the first testbed units selected for this @usairforce initiative, tailoring DAF guidance to specially train over a dozen Air Commandos to support personnel facing the unique demands of #AFSOC's unconventional mission.

HOPE specialists help link their wingmen to the best resource available across all realms of comprehensive fitness, directly communicating to our Chaplain Corps to address the needs of the Line--keeping us consistently ready to answer the call. More
