Detachment 270 Cadre

Our cadre are all active duty U.S. Air Force and Space Force personnel and come from a wide range of specialties and backgrounds. Each has been competitively selected to lead the next generation of Air Force and Space Force officers. This assignment is typically a three year term for each officer and enlisted member before they head back to the greater Air Force or Space Force to continue to do great things for our nation. While they come from different states, backgrounds, and universities, the instructors quickly become part of the Kansas State Family and Manhattan community. Go Wildcats!
