This is the difference between “education” and “training.” Medical school is education, first aid is training. Education requires fundamental understanding, which can be used to grasp and respond to a nearly infinite variety of threats; training involves singular actions, which are useful only against anticipated challenges. Education is resilient, training is robust.
The Air Force does a great job training our Airmen, but we lack in the education. Our Airmen aren't prepared for the fluid nature of warfare.
