What is the Second Objective of AAS?

• A. To aid in the development of effective Air Force officers
• B. To improve base security
• C. To fund aviation research
• D. To organize annual air shows

Answer: (A)

The second objective is to aid in the development of effective Air Force officers. This mirrors the core purpose of Arnold Air Society as a professional cadet organization focused on shaping future leaders for the Air Force. In practice, that means activities and experiences that build leadership, professional character, discipline, and a strong understanding of Air Force ideals, so members are prepared to serve as officers. While base security, aviation research funding, or organizing air shows might come up in various contexts, they are not the formal objective guiding the organization’s primary mission.
