The USAFA Units - 34th Education Group - 34 EG


Our Mission
The Education Group's command staff and two squadrons are a unique blend of military structure and academic functions. Our group structure, organized under the Commandant of Cadets' 34th Training Wing, supports a mission similar to the disciplinary departments of the Dean of Faculty, but with an important difference -- we focus our curriculum on the warfighting issues that confront military officers. Within the context of the Air Force Academy's broad core curriculum of engineering, basic sciences, social sciences, and humanities, we contribute professional depth. The group staff supports the education squadrons with direction and resources for faculty development, instructional technology, research, and enrichment programs. Together with the Operations Group, Training Group, Support Group, and the Center for Character Development, the Education Group helps the 34th Training Wing inspire, educate and train the aerospace leaders of tomorrow.

The 34th EG is comprised of the following 2 Squadrons.
