Air National Guard (ANG) members, including personnel from the 179th Cyberspace Wing in Mansfield, Ohio, participated in the Cyber High Performance Training (HPT) program in San Antonio, Texas, from 12-17 November. Designed to elevate cyber readiness, the program focused on advanced training for cyber operators and leaders, blending human performance science with leadership development.

Hosted by Liminal Collective in collaboration with the San Antonio Spurs organization, the training emphasized optimizing individual and team performance in high-pressure environments. Participants engaged in leadership and communication exercises, team-building modules, and self-reflection workshops, all aimed at enhancing their operational effectiveness in cyberspace missions.

“This program was really transformative,” said Airman 1st Class Victoria Smith, Cyber Operations Software Developer at the 179th Cyberspace Wing. “It did a great job at identifying your weaknesses, your own self-awareness, and how to manage that weakness.”

Led by experts such as Dr. Andy Walshe, a globally recognized leader in human performance, the program offered a comprehensive approach to training, addressing both technical and interpersonal skills. Participants learned to harness their potential while contributing to the success of the ANG’s cyber operations.

The training also fostered collaboration among Airmen, helping them develop stronger connections and build trust within their teams. This holistic approach ensures that ANG cyber operators are equipped to meet the evolving challenges of modern cyber warfare with agility and precision.
