Publisher's Synopsis
This 20-year Strategic Master Plan advances the strategic vectors and imperatives set by America's Air Force: A Call to the Future to provide a strategic framework that will shape the Air Force's future. It provides consistent direction across all Air Force portfolios and brings year-to-year coherency to our plans and programs. However, the changes we need to enact are wider than just choices about equipment programs. Our Airmen are essential to all our capabilities and we must deliberately plan and invest in them to meet the challenges of the future. We must be more flexible in our posture at home and overseas. We must align our science and technology efforts with innovative concepts and capability development that will offer the opportunity to dominate in the future environment we envision and adapt rapidly when it changes. These aspects are covered in the four annexes to this plan, which provide actionable tasks to Air Force commands and agencies.
