To advance learning opportunities for Airmen and enable training and education from any device, Air Education and Training Command (AETC) officials have expanded a project installing commercial wireless internet across the command and into all training dormitories.
The previous $6.3M AETC-Wide Area Knowledge Education Nexus (AWAKEN) project provided Wi-Fi capabilities in main mission areas and learning environments across Second and Nineteenth Air Force, giving students better access to training portals.
An $18.5M expansion will fund the remaining base-identified mission areas through FY 2025.
Currently, six AETC locations provide Wi-Fi in training dormitories at no-cost to Airmen.
This new project expansion allocates $25.8M to consolidate funding at the major command level and incorporate additional dormitory locations.
Responsible for 93% of technical training in the Air Force, Second Air Force officials are spearheading plans to drive the transformation of technical training and are moving toward a sixth generation learning ecosystem across its five technical training wings.
