We know that a cornerstone of our strength as a nation is the capability to project combat power rapidly and effectively to any point on the globe . We used it in the Bosnia air campaign very effectively , not only for reconnaissance but for Battle Damage Assessment . I thank you very much for the opportunity to address you today . The Turkmen official called on the Asian countries to use their potential to the full in order to develop multilateral cooperation , especially in the field of transport , energy , investment and commerce . Because of that , sometimes a teacher had to teach three classes at the same time . So while we have much more to do , we are making some real progress . This should be what you take away today it is our responsibility to nurture in the next generation of airmen the ability to think and prepare for all dimensions of warfare , especially that brand of warfare that is punctuated by increased velocity , energy , and information . Of even greater importance , they were told they could build the air campaign with a whole host of capabilities previously unfamiliar or unknown to them including assets such as space , command and control , stealth , cruise missiles , advanced ISR , and precision munitions . Not much will change that . They are getting much more reliable , with much more capacity in smaller packages . I appreciate the work that all of you do , especially our industry partners that are here today to keep our technology at the absolute top . Divestiture is especially appropriate in the space business . We must continue to research , develop and acquire the capabilities that will help us achieve and maintain a premier military force , especially the precision and survivability measures that will enable us to operate at lower levels of risk and that result in our opponents absorbing losses far in excess of what they can impose on us . In Dashoguz during a two-month period every morning owners of private minivans drove mobilized people to the fields ( sometimes to the remote areas of the velayat ) , and in the evening picked them up and drove them back . I believe that we sometimes invite criticism , because our message is not as broad as our topic .
