AMD WAY AHEAD Lt Col DeMarco DIRMOBFOR Future Ops/Strategy 15 AMOS/CC

OVERVIEW • The Problem • The Program • The End State • Let’s Crawl “The AOC is fundamental to what makes us great as an Air Force… If you have a group of airplanes but you don't have an AOC, you don't really have an air force. You have a flying club." -- Lt. Gen. Ronald E. Keys, deputy chief of staff for air and space operations, Headquarters U.S. Air Force,

The Problem • “How should the AMD be structured to support the future direction of the Air Force and the Joint Community” • In a snapshot: What should the AOC/AMD and Air Mobility Operations Squadrons look like in 2017? Three targets to achieve that goal: developing and fusing technology, training and managing command and control workers, and standardizing the centers.-- Lt. Gen. Ronald E. Keys, deputy chief of staff for air and space operations, Headquarters U.S. Air Force,

Assumptions • 2017 Assumptions • The USAF will get smaller; we will have less people…theaters will not have enough Airman to man AOC at greater than day to day levels • Technology should increase capability • The US will remain globally engaged • “Rumsfeld braces for more violence in Iraq: Says insurgency could endure ‘for any number of years,’ perhaps until 2017,” Associated Press, 26 June 2005 . • AOC will be integrated in a greater and more synergistic way with our Joint partners • Military budget will get smaller

The Program • Adjust AMD team names: • Problem: The name Air Mobility Control Team does not adequately explain what the team does. • By DoD definition: air mobility is the rapid movement of personnel, materiel and forces to and from or within a theater by air. This includes both airlift and air refueling.

MAF C2 AMD Sustainment AMD AMOCC/AMD 18 AF/TACC

The Air Mobility Division provides effects-based planning, execution, and assessment of theater-assigned airlift, air refueling, and aeromedical operations in support of the Combatant Commander.

The Program • AMC AMD CONOPS for AOC Standardization • 15th AMOS has authored an AMOS CONOPS • Continue effort with 21 AMOS for approval from AMC • Develop annexes for each theater • PAOC • USAFE • CAOC • HTACC • AFSOUTH • AFNORTH

The Program • Present to AMC/CV or CC for approval and signature • Update annually at AMD Summit • Rewrite every 3 years

The Program • AMD Organization: The courage of our Airmen to push beyond the existing technical horizons and battle the status quo is a hallmark of our Air Force.

Is there more than one type of AMD? • AMOS AMD • Sustainment AMD • AMOCC/AMD • Reachback/Distributed AMD

The Program • C2 Warrior Culture • Develop our Mid-Level Captains for AOC/AMD Leadership • 5 Week FTU at HRT • Informal Contract to serve an AOC Tour within 1 year of course completion • CAOC/CENTAF • JCS-Level Ex • AMOS Assignment • TACC • 7th AF HTACC • USAFE, PACAF, SOUTHAF, NORTHAF • These are our future AMD Chiefs, AMOS/CC and DIRMOBFORs

The Program • Future REACHBACK Operations • Every Theater is different, Every AMD is different • What does the War Fighter need? • Some Theaters may operate through REACHBACK • AMOS AMD-LE • AMD Chief • And AMD deputy • ALCT Chief • ARCT Chief • AMCT Chief • AECT Chief • Probably some systems types • REACHBACK to either the AMOS/AMD or TACC

REACHBACK • Fully supporting air operations centers with sufficient numbers of trained personnel and expanding the "reachback" capabilities to evaluate data collected by unmanned aircraft and orbiting satellites would also dramatically increase joint capabilities --Gen Duncan McNabb

The Program • Single AMOS • PBD 720 Cuts and impacts • 2 Squadrons = 225+ Airmen • Could save 45 Airmen with a Single Squadron of 180 • The AMD Center of Excellence • Assist HQ AMC in leading the AMD effort on a Global scale • Future thought/Mobility War Plans Experts • IG Augmentation • Theater SAV • Training and Stan/Eval for the USAF • Testing C2 systems • TACC/XOP liaisons and integration • While serving in JCS Level Exs and Theater Augmentation

The Program • Global Engagement in light of PBD-720 • TDY Rates: • 15 AMOS = 137 • Airlifters = 126 • Tankers = 138 • We are all busy and getting busier • 1 Year CAOC Assignments • Associate AMOS • USAF AMD SEI Holders

The Program • The JOINT Arena • DDOC and Theater Enterprise Deployment and Distribution (TED2) They engineer and manage the machine-to-machine interfaces that allow the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) to command an aircraft to change its target set in mid-mission while a satellite guides delivery of a munition to a precise coordinate. They will continue to tighten the linkages among and between our air, sea, and ground forces. Our Airmen will continue doing what they do best for the Joint Team – dominating air and space.

TED2 Function Source SIPR NIPR Type System

JIPRL • The JDDOC will: • Collect, validate, analyze, prioritize and synchronize all intra-theater airlift requirements. • Manage the Joint Integrated Prioritized Requirements List (JIPRL) analyzing for theater workload and prioritization. • Serve as an Information Fusion Cell gathering data and reports for analysis and dissemination. • Provide scheduling and execution oversight for the purpose of ensuring and reporting timely requirement closure. • The Air Mobility Division will: • Define Theater Capability with respect to assigned airlift resources. • Plan and schedule all intra-theater airlift missions for movement of intra-theater requirements in accordance with theater and ATO priorities. • Provide C2 for missions in execution. • Track mission requirements to ensure timely closure.

Program Partners • The way ahead is a program or enterprise solution with a myriad of players • A1 • A3 • A5 • A6 • A9 • USTRANSCOM • 15/21 AMOS • AMWC • TACC

Strategy • "the practical adaptation of the means placed at a general’s disposal to the attainment of the object in view." In Moltke's formulation, military strategy is clearly a means to political ends. • Liddell Hart arrives at this short definition of strategy: "the art of distributing and applying military means to fulfill the ends of policy."

Strategy • Strategy is that which top management does that is of great importance to the organization. • Strategy refers to basic directional decisions, that is, to purposes and missions. • Strategy consists of the important actions necessary to realize these directions. • Strategy answers the question: What should the organization be doing? • Strategy answers the question: What are the ends we seek and how should we achieve them? • George Steiner, a professor of management and one of the founders of The California Management Review, is generally considered a key figure in the origins and development of strategic planning. His book, Strategic Planning [2],

Strategy • Henry Mintzberg, in his 1994 book, The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning [3], points out that people use "strategy" in several different ways, the most common being these four: • Strategy is a plan, a "how," a means of getting from here to there. • Strategy is a pattern in actions over time; for example, a company that regularly markets very expensive products is using a "high end" strategy. • Strategy is position; that is, it reflects decisions to offer particular products or services in particular markets. • Strategy is perspective, that is, vision and direction.
