Today nearly 500,000 of America's finest men and women proudly serve as enlisted Airmen in our United States Air Force—a total force made up of active duty, Air National Guard (ANG), and Air Force Reserve (AFR) personnel standing strong to project air and space power around the globe. Our foundation consists of three enduring principles or core values: "Integrity First, Service before Self, and Excellence in All We Do." We expect all Airmen, both officer and enlisted, to live and lead by these core values, which form the basis for Air Force instructions, policies, guidance, and overall focus. Our leadership has the responsibility for articulating and reinforcing these values because new Airmen must understand the importance of using them to shape their actions.
