PlainBill explanation
Based on the full Introduced in House · 2025-02-06 text. This explanation has not received human editorial review. This overview describes the proposal’s major provisions; it does not establish what its real-world effects would be.
The proposed AIM HIGH Act would require the Air Force to operate a Technical Training Center of Excellence at an Air Force installation that already provides technical training and maintenance proficiency. The center would coordinate Air Force technical training and serve maintenance personnel across the military departments. Its stated purposes include improving training practices and connecting with industry and academic institutions; these are objectives, not demonstrated results.
This Act may be cited as the Advancing Innovation and Maintenance through Headquarters for Instruction, Growth, and High-tech training Act or the AIM HIGH Act.
The Secretary of the Air Force shall operate a Technical Training Center of Excellence.
The purposes of the Center shall be to— (1) facilitate collaboration among all Air Force technical training installations; (2) serve as a premier training location for all maintainers throughout the military departments;
(5) foster outreach with industry and academia; (6) identify and promulgate best practices, standards, and benchmarks;
The Secretary shall select a location for the Center that is an Air Force installation that provides technical training and maintenance proficiency.
The bill would add section 9026 to title 10 of the United States Code. It would require the Secretary of the Air Force to operate the center, with its head designated by the Commander of the Airmen Development Command.
Chapter 903 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new section: 9026. Air Force Technical Training Center of Excellence (a) Establishment The Secretary of the Air Force shall operate a Technical Training Center of Excellence. The head of the Center shall be the designee of the Commander of the Airmen Development Command.
The center's assigned purposes would include coordinating all Air Force technical training installations, serving as a leading training location for maintenance personnel across the military departments, and publishing responsibilities aimed at improving technical training. It would also advocate improvements in curriculum and facilities. The text additionally uses the unexplained word “medial.”
The purposes of the Center shall be to— (1) facilitate collaboration among all Air Force technical training installations; (2) serve as a premier training location for all maintainers throughout the military departments; (3) publish a set of responsibilities aimed at driving excellence, innovation, and leadership across all technical training specialties; (4) advocate for innovative improvements in curriculum, facilities, and medial;
Other assigned purposes would include outreach to industry and academic institutions, identifying and issuing best practices and standards, and creating a center for advances in aviation technology and training methods. The Secretary could assign other responsibilities considered appropriate.
(5) foster outreach with industry and academia; (6) identify and promulgate best practices, standards, and benchmarks; (7) create a hub of excellence for the latest advancements in aviation technology and training methodologies; and (8) carry out such other responsibilities as the Secretary determines appropriate.
The Secretary would choose the center's location, but the site must be an Air Force installation that provides technical training and maintenance proficiency.
(c) Location The Secretary shall select a location for the Center that is an Air Force installation that provides technical training and maintenance proficiency.
