In a move reflecting the ongoing impact of President Donald Trump's directives on federal diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, the U.S. Air Force has removed training materials featuring the Tuskegee Airmen and Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) from its basic training curriculum. This decision was implemented at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, the primary site for Air Force basic training. The removal includes a video highlighting the contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen, who were renowned for their service during World War II. The Air Force's action comes as part of compliance with Trump's orders, which have led to a broader reevaluation of diversity training within military programs.
