Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 220 / Thursday, November 14, 2013 / Notices 68427 

defense committees. The report will 

contain a detailed statement of the 

findings and conclusions of the 

Commission, together with its 

recommendations for such legislation 

and administrative actions it may 

consider appropriate in light of the 

results of the study. The comprehensive 

study of the structure of the U.S. Air 

Force will determine whether, and how, 

the structure should be modified to best 

fulfill current and anticipated mission 

requirements for the U.S. Air Force in 

a manner consistent with available 

resources. 

The evaluation factors under 

consideration by the Commission are for 

a U.S. Air Force structure that—(a) 

meets current and anticipated 

requirements of the combatant 

commands; (b) achieves an appropriate 

balance between the regular and reserve 

components of the Air Force, taking 

advantage of the unique strengths and 

capabilities of each; (c) ensures that the 

regular and reserve components of the 

Air Force have the capacity needed to 

support current and anticipated 

homeland defense and disaster 

assistance missions in the United States; 

(d) provides for sufficient numbers of 

regular members of the Air Force to 

provide a base of trained personnel from 

which the personnel of the reserve 

components of the Air Force could be 

recruited; (e) maintains a peacetime 

rotation force to support operational 

tempo goals of 1:2 for regular members 

of the Air Forces and 1:5 for members 

of the reserve components of the Air 

Force; and (f) maximizes and 

appropriately balances affordability, 

efficiency, effectiveness, capability, and 

readiness.
