Video of Tuskegee Airmen included in Air Force basic training curriculum removed amid DEI review

From CNN’s Haley Britzky

The Air Force removed basic military training curriculum that included video of the famed Tuskegee Airmen amid a review of the course for any diversity-related content, an Air Force official said Saturday.

The move comes after President Donald Trump issued an executive action this week terminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the federal government. The Air Force took “immediate steps” to remove curriculum at basic military training, which is now being reviewed “to ensure compliance with Executive Orders issued by the President,” the official said.

But the official said video of the Tuskegee Airmen, the groundbreaking Black American pilots who fought in World War II, was not why the curriculum was removed.

“Historical videos were interwoven into US Air Force and Space Force curriculum and were not the direct focus of course removal actions,” the official said.

“The Department of the Air Force will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President, ensuring that they are carried out with utmost professionalism, efficiency and in alignment with national security objectives,” an Air Force spokesperson said in a statement.

Some background: The Tuskegee Airmen were the US military’s first Black aviators and their support personnel. The airmen included roughly 1,000 Black pilots who trained between 1941 and 1946 at a segregated air base in Alabama, according to the National World War II Museum. The airmen flew “hundreds of patrol and attack missions” during the war before being reassigned to escort US bombers and other aircraft, according to the museum.
