- The Department of the Air Force World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) is a military program designed to support nationally and internationally ranked athlete Airmen and Guardians and prepare them to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team and compete at the highest level of international competition. Additionally, it provides current Olympians an avenue to serve the United States in a uniformed service capacity between training seasons. The program is falls under the DAF Fitness and Sports Division, Air Force Service Center, headquartered at Joint Base San Antonio, Texas. Program management of WCAP and the Department of the Air Force Shooting Program moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado in the spring of 2022 to better assist athletes and to be closer to the Olympic Training Center and its sister service WCAP Program Managers and Fort Carson, Colorado. This program enables selected Department of the Air Force military athletes to focus on training and competing in a full-time status in preparation for Olympic competition. The selection process ensures participants are viable Olympic contenders who will serve as Department of the Air Force ambassadors as they compete nationally and internationally. The name United States Air Force World Class Athlete Program was changed in 2021 to Department of the Air Force World Class Athlete Program when it onboarded its first Space Force service member, fencer, 1st Lieutenant Leanne Singleton-Comfort. Program management operating location, updated recruitment strategy, refined entry standards and branding refresh reflect significant milestones in 2021–2022. The DAF WCAP is currently governed by AFI 34-266, Fitness, Sports and World Class Athlete Program and is currently being rewritten as DAFI 34-144 and is scheduled to be published later this year (2022). Many of the winner of the Department of the Air Force Athlete of the Year award were members of the WCAP. (en)
