Hold the Line is Air Force Materiel Command's campaign to reintegrate basic military activities, customs and traditions to foster increased interaction among its Airmen.

An emphasis on personal accountability led to AFMC launching the campaign in October 2010, aimed at reinvigorating the command's maintenance of standards, discipline and service culture.

As part of the campaign, AFMC bases will implement or reinstate face-to-face boards, reveille and retreat, and roll calls, among other initiatives.

Commander, Air Force Materiel Command

It is time to reinforce the need for basics. Many senior leaders, myself included, are concerned that, over time, we let personal accountability, compliance, and responsibility slip. We sometimes rely too much on technology to 'care for' and 'grow' our Airmen, which shortchanges many Air Force traditions that are beneficial to the establishment and maintenance of standards, discipline and service culture.  More
