Those who joined us on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, for Carahst's first annual Air Force day tuned in for a briefing session, led by Rob Efrus, that addressed key initiatives funded by the Air Force in 2026 and advised how our vendors can contribute to solving mission problems.
We also hosted a panel led by Venice Goodwine, Carlos Rodgers, and Darlene Costello, who understand the nuances of the procurement cycles. This briefing provided a deep-dive analysis of the DAF's strategic priorities, including:
- Urgency in the Pacing Challenge
- Deterrence Through Readiness and Resilience
- Digital Transformation and Data as a Warfighting Enabler
- Acquisition Speed and Accountability
- Industrial Base Resilience
