INSIGHTS – From Lessons to Leadership

What follows discovery and testing is the deliberate conversion of insight into influence. This phase formalizes the doctrinal takeaways through:

• Air Force Doctrine Notes (AFDNs) – rapid insights delivered in short form
• LeMay Academic Series Papers – deep dives into focus area dilemmas and doctrinal gaps
• Doctrinal Planning Tools – templates and checklists for Air Components to test integration
• Leadership Feedback Forums – iterative reviews at flag officer and strategic staff levels

Each document, note, or briefing ties back to the existing AFDP structure—strengthening it, challenging it, or in some cases proposing new ones entirely.
