  2. AF Core Competencies • Developing Airmen • Integrating Operations • Technology-to-Warfighting • Airmen equipped with new capabilities, developed and delivered by other Airmen • Transforming technology-to-warfighting systems • Key to integrating operations • Upgrade existing systems and develop future capabilities • Retain and invest in the Airmen who conceptualize, acquire, test, deliver and sustain these new and innovative technologies

  3. AFMC Mission Statement Deliver war-winning… Technology Acquisition Support Sustainment …expeditionary capabilities to the warfighter

  4. AFMC Organization • Headquarters AFMC (Wright-Patterson AFB) • Air Force Research Laboratory (Wright-Patterson AFB) • Rome Site, NY; Hanscom AFB; Arlington, VA; Tyndall AFB; Eglin AFB; Brooks City Base; Kirtland AFB; Mesa, AZ; Edwards AFB • Test Centers • Arnold Engineering Development Center (Arnold AFB) • Air Force Flight Test Center (Edwards AFB) • Product Centers • Aeronautical Systems Center (Wright-Patterson AFB) • 311th Human Systems Wing (Brooks City Base) • Electronic Systems Center (Hanscom AFB) • Standard Systems Group (Wright-Patterson AFB) • Materiel Systems Group (Gunter Annex, Maxwell AFB) • Air Armament Center (Eglin AFB and Kirtland AFB) • Air Force Security Assistance Center (Wright-Patterson AFB) • Air Logistics Centers • Ogden ALC (Hill AFB) • Oklahoma City ALC (Tinker AFB) • Warner Robins ALC (Robins AFB) • Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Center (Davis-Monthan AFB) • United States Air Force Museum

  5. AFMC Top Priorities • Revised Program Executive Officer (PEO) Structure • Science & Technology Integration • Depot and Supply Chain Management Implications • Attrition-Based Planning

  6. AFMC Top Priorities (cont) • Goals and Standards • Force Development and the Air Expeditionary Force • Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Process • Information Technology CONOPS

  7. Implementation • Doctrine • Principles reflecting new processes and CONOPS • Organization • Recognizable to the Air Force • Headquarters and Centers with Wings, Groups and Squadrons • Training and Education • Invest in technically trained and competent workforce • Materiel • Capability based requirements • Decrease logistic cycle times and built-in sustainability • Leadership • PEO with authority and resources • Increase credibility – sustainable warfighting capabilities…on-cost, on-time • People • Force development and AEF capable, deployable forces • Exchange of experience (operations and logistics) • Facilities • SRM infrastructure funding and BRAC

  8. Personal Observations • Highly professional acquisition and logistics force…military, civilian and contractor • Global access and distribution • Logistics constrains operational flexibility • Aging aircraft fleet • Liaisons highly effective • Need to communicate…ACRONYMS!? • Break down the logistics “green door” • Understand operational requirements/impact • Joint/Combined is the only way to fight and win!
