In his address to the Air Force, Air Chief Marshal Browne said, "The IAF is well poised on the path of transforming itself into a potent strategic force". Outlining his vision statement for the IAF of – 'People first Mission Always', he said, "While induction of the state of the art equipment and systems would lead to a major upgradation of our combat potential, our biggest strength, 'Our People' must receive our highest attention." "In whatever capacity you serve in the Indian Air Force, you remain our most valuable asset", he added.
"I firmly believe that each one of us has a duty to care and look after the people placed under our charge. It is a sacred calling, for all leaders, men and women, irrespective of the rank and position. Our endeavour should be, to empower our subordinates, by giving them required operating skills, through dedicated training and mentoring".
"While change is the hallmark of growth and progress, the biggest challenge facing us in the coming years, is to manage this fast paced change effectively, without compromising on high operational standards. Operating across a broad spectrum of equipment vintage, would test our innovativeness and capabilities. The nation has reposed a high degree of trust and confidence in our capabilities. It is indeed an onerous asking, and I am confident that as capable men and women we will work shoulder to shoulder in discharging our responsibilities befittingly".
