I am indeed on 1 ACC!

A lot depends on your definition of warfighter. Is it the same as soldier?

Our recent exercise showed us how difficult it is to operate in a hostile environment. But the RAF needs to be able operate to do its job, and therefore win the war. For that, we need to be able to keep ourselves alive in the field, therefore we need to know our CCS etc. But what use are we if we spend so much time fighting on the ground that we cant get the aircraft in the air and win the war? Isn't that the RAF definition of warfighting?

Or maybe ACM Burridge meant that we should all be prepared to down tools, get down and dirty and fight?
