FY 2019 TOTAL FORCE COMPONENTS SECTION 1

TOTAL FORCE (COMPONENTS)

ACTIVE DUTY AIR FORCE

AIR FORCE RESERVE

AIR NATIONAL GUARD

American Airmen have long been breaking barriers in air and space, resulting in today’s 

Global Vigilance, Global Reach, and Global Power. As a service, we are known for our 

airframes, our history of innovation, and our groundbreaking work in air and space. However, 

our most important asset is the people who raise their hands and volunteer to serve in the 

profession of arms. The U.S. Air Force is a true Total Force that effectively leverages the 

unique capabilities of officer, enlisted, and civilian Airmen across Active, Guard, Reserve, 

and Auxiliary components.

The Active component military end strength comprises approximately 

65 percent of the Air Force’s Total Force. The Active Air Force maintains 

aircraft and bases across the United States and overseas, while supporting 

all five core missions: Air, Space and Cyber Superiority; Global Intelligence, 

Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR); Rapid Global Mobility; Global 

Strike; and Command and Control (C2). The Active Air Force is the only 

full time component—the other components can be called to full time 

when “activated” to support operational requirements.

The Air Force Reserve (AFR) is a combat-ready force. The AFR is 

comprised of highly-experienced, professional citizen Reservists who 

provide strategic depth and operational capacity for every Major and 

Combatant Command. Operating in various locations around the world, 

the Air Force Reserve has evolved from a “stand by” force for emergencies 

into a Major Command (MAJCOM) of the Active Duty Air Force. The Air 

Force Reserve currently performs about 20 percent of the work of the 

Air Force, including traditional flying missions and other more specialized 

missions, such as Weather Reconnaissance (Hurricane Hunters), Modular 

Aerial Fire Fighting (MAFFs) and Personnel Recovery (Pararescuemen).

The Air National Guard’s (ANG) federal mission is to maintain well-trained, 

well-equipped units available for prompt mobilization during war and 

provide assistance during national emergencies. During peacetime, the 

combat-ready and support units are assigned to most Air Force major 

commands to carry out missions compatible with training, mobilization 

readiness, humanitarian and contingency operations such as Operation 

Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. The Air National Guard provides almost 

half of the Air Force’s tactical airlift support, combat communications 

functions, aeromedical evacuations and aerial refueling. In addition, the 

Air National Guard has total responsibility for air defense of the entire 

United States.
2

In accordance with the National Defense Strategy, this budget prioritizes long-term 

competition with China and Russia. We build on the progress made in 2018 to restore the 

readiness of the force, increase lethality, and cost-effectively modernize. Highlights:

SECTION 2

OVERVIEW

READINESS: Restoring readiness to win any fight, any time remains a primary 

objective. This budget funds approximately 1.5 million flying hours at a cost of $8.7 billion 

and 54,443 preferred munitions to reverse previous declining inventories at a cost of $1.8 

billion. This budget also funds training ranges, simulators, instructors, and key infrastructure 

required to improve the quality of our training in alignment with the National Defense 

Strategy prioritization of peer competition.

PEOPLE: This budget represents an increase in the size of the Air Force by 4,700 

total military force personnel while we simultaneously review existing manning across the 

active duty, guard, and reserve components. In addition, this budget submission funds 

important support to Airmen and families with a 2.6% military pay raise, increased housing 

and subsistence allowances, and family support programs. 

NUCLEAR DETERRENCE: Our budget proposal supports the Defense 

Department’s principal priority to maintain a safe, secure, and effective nuclear deterrent. 

We propose to improve our nuclear command, control, and communication systems, 

modernize our bomber fleet to include development of B-52H replacement engines, 

continue development of the Long Range Stand Off Missile and ICBM modernization with 

Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) program.

OVERVIEW

MODERNIZATION: This budget funds our priority modernization initiatives 

with the purchase of 48 F-35A fighters, 15 KC-46A tankers, and continued development of 

the B-21 bomber. This year, we will decide the new T-X advanced trainer aircraft and the 

replacement for the UH-1N helicopter. Critical to mission success is continued investment 

in our classified portfolio, which will be briefed in a closed session.
3

OVERVIEW SECTION 2

SPACE SUPERIORITY: This year’s budget accelerates our efforts to deter, 

defend, and prevail against anyone who seeks to deny our ability to freely operate in space. 

We will build more jam-resistant GPS satellites, improve missile warning, improve space 

situational awareness, and increase our ability to defend our Nation’s most vital assets in 

orbit. 

MULTI-DOMAIN COMMAND AND CONTROL: This budget 

proposes to change the way we execute battlefield management command and control 

in the multi-domain environment. We propose to modernize seven E-3 Airborne Warning 

Command and Control aircraft (AWACS) and keep the current E-8C JSTARS operational 

through the mid-2020s, as we develop and transition to an advanced battle management 

system. 

AIR SUPERIORITY: Central to lethality is our ability to gain and maintain air 

superiority when and where needed against potential adversaries in 2030 and beyond. Over 

the next five years, we will develop an integrated family of systems that can establish and 

maintain air superiority in a contested environment. This will be a multi-domain effort with 

a renewed emphasis on electronic warfare and control of the electromagnetic spectrum. 

LIGHT ATTACK: Retaining irregular warfare as a core competency at a lower cost 

and strengthening our alliances are key elements of our National Defense Strategy. We are 

developing concepts of operations and further defining requirements.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: The Air Force launched a review of our 

science and technology strategy that will be complete later this year. This budget increases 

emphasis on basic and applied research to drive long-term innovation and dominance in 

air and space power.

FY 2019 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS SECTION 3

The Air Force budget request for FY 2019 is approximately $156.3 billion dollars, a 6.6% overall 

increase from the FY 2018 request. The details of the budget will highlight the investments 

necessary to confront the reemergence of great power competition in a more dangerous 

international security environment than we have seen in generations. This budget moves 

us forward to outpace the efforts of our competitors and aligns with the National Security 

Strategy, the National Defense Strategy, and Air Force priorities. Key areas addressed by 

this budget include readiness, people, nuclear deterrence, modernization, space superiority, 

multi-domain command and control, air superiority, light attack and science and technology. 

Future wars will be won by those who observe, orient, decide and act faster than adversaries 

in an integrated way and this budget request positions the Air Force to be that force. 

Our FY 2019 budget shows modest growth in O&M. We invest in upgrades to the Intelligence, 

Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) fleet in order to mitigate capability gaps in transmitting 

ISR data to decision makers---a key element to improving lethality. To free Air Force pilots to 

perform other missions, we expanded our Adversary Air contract at Nellis Air Force Base to 

provide additional live training engagements. The baseline budget increases funding for our 

two largest readiness accounts, by funding nearly 1.5 million flying hours and resourcing our 

Weapon System Sustainment (WSS) requirements at a manageable level of risk. Additionally, 

we enhance the network of Global Command and Control systems that enable surveillance, 

early warning of weather and airborne events, worldwide cyber connectivity with warfighter 

systems, and air traffic control.

Our FY 2019 PB request for MILPERS supports increased end strength to further reduce 

critical gaps in our force. This request grows Total Force end-strength to just over 506K 

military members-a total military force increase of 4,700 over 2018. This request also provides 

funding to recruit, train and develop resilient and competent Airmen, focused on leading 

multi-domain operations as part of the Joint and Combined Force. In particular, this budget 

targets shortfalls in ISR, Remotely Piloted Aircraft and cyber career fields. Additionally, 

in areas where we have previously closed the manning gap the focus shifts to closing the 

experience gap.

Innovation continues to be an Air Force imperative, as we are faced with an eroding technology 

advantage in an international environment of great power competition. The FY 2019 RDT&E 

budget invests heavily in innovative technologies, funds the modernization of our nuclear 

force, transforms major space capabilities to better perform in a contested environment 

and continues investment in the Air Superiority family of systems. Funding also focuses on 

game-changing technologies, such as hypersonics, directed energy, unmanned autonomous 

artificial intelligence and machine learning systems, and nanotechnology. Additionally, the 

FY 2019 budget transitions our space investment by accelerating our efforts to move to a 

defendable space posture which is critical as our adversaries continue to build capabilities to 

deny our use of space. 

Our FY 2019 Procurement accounts continue stable growth from FY 2018 to FY 2019 as we 

continue procurement of the F-35A and KC-46A, begin procurement of the Combat Rescue 

Helicopter, increase preferred munitions, and begin the pivot to a defendable, survivable space 

posture. Within our munitions account we have included funding through a combination of 

base and OCO to maximize current industry capacity.

FY 2019 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS SECTION 3

The Air Force O&M budget request of $49.9B for FY 2019 builds on the progress made in 

FY 2018 to accelerate the readiness of the force, increase lethality, and cost-effectively 

modernize. 

Restoring the readiness of the force to win any fight, any place, any time remains a primary 

objective. The budget funds recruiting and training efforts aimed at addressing critical 

skill shortfalls, such as Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), Remotely 

Piloted Aircraft, and cyber career fields. This budget also funds training ranges, simulators, 

instructors, and key infrastructure required to improve the quality of our training in alignment 

with the National Defense Strategy prioritization of peer competition.

A fundamental element to increasing lethality is Air Superiority, which is our ability to gain 

and maintain control of the airspace when and where needed against major challengers in 

2030 and beyond. Toward this effort we have programmed funding to continue the beddown 

of the F-35A at Burlington ANGB, Vermont, Eielson AFB, Alaska, and RAF Lakenheath, 

United Kingdom; increased funding for training exercises, expanded the Adversary Air 

(ADAIR) contract to provide additional live training engagements, and provided additional 

contract maintenance for 5th generation training simulators.

This budget allocates funding to replace outdated electromagnetic interference detection 

systems increasing support for the defensive space mission; it grows the fleet of counter 

communications system contracts increasing support for the offensive space mission; it 

expands the Space Test and Training Range which allows users to test and train in a safe 

environment against space as a hostile domain and funds equipment and support for Cyber 

Mission Forces to mitigate cyber-attacks on the nations networks.

TABLE 11. Air Force Working Capital Fund Financial and Personnel Summary

WORKING CAPITAL FUND 

The Defense Working Capital Funds (DWCF) were established to carry out specific mission 

activities in a market-like financial framework, providing customers common goods and 

services in the most efficient way possible. Operating within the DWCF, the Air Force Working 

Capital Fund (AFWCF) is designed to operate on a break-even basis. AFWCF services and 

products are integral to readiness and sustainability of air, space, and cyberspace assets 

and support the ability to deploy forces around the globe.

The AFWCF conducts business in two primary areas: depot maintenance and supply 

management. Depots provide the equipment, skills, and repair services necessary to 

keep forces operating. Supply management activities procure and manage inventories 

of consumable and reparable spare parts required to keep all force structure elements 

mission ready. The Transportation Working Capital Fund (TWCF) is a part of the AFWCF 

budget submission. Though the Air Force is charged with cash oversight, United States 

Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) has operational responsibility.

The FY 2019 AFWCF budget is structured to support the Air Force’s core functions 

through supply and maintenance activities that procure and manage spares, reparables, 

base supplies and transportation services (i.e. engines, aircraft and other reparable items). 

Estimates included in this submission are based on customers’ plans. Successful AFWCF 

operations are essential to ensure the warfighter receives the right item, at the right place, 

right time, and lowest cost. Our budget request reflects AFWCF logistics and business 

processes that are continuously improved to meet customer needs within the time and 

location requirements specified. Rate/price changes reflect ongoing efforts to reduce costs 

and accurately project inflation impacts. Highlights of the FY 2019 AFWCF budget request 

are reflected in Table 11.

TABLE 12. Air Force Working Capital Fund Cash Management

TABLE 13. Transportation Working Capital Fund Cash Management 

The Office of the Secretary of Defense’s (OSD) policy requires DWCF activities maintain 

positive cash balances throughout the year, and an adequate ending balance to support 

continuing operations into the subsequent year. In determining required cash levels, activities 

document average disbursements and the expected range of cash volatility, adjusted to 

accommodate seasonality, known changes in the business environment, and inherent risk 

associated with estimation error and unplanned events outside management’s control. The 

methodology for calculating cash requirements consists of four components: rate, range, 

risk mitigation, and reserves as reflected in Tables 12 and 13. 

In FY 2019, AFWCF cash is projected to remain relatively flat, at $2.3M (AFWCF and TWCF) 

while remaining within lower and upper operating limits. This ensures a sufficient balance 

necessary to support operational disbursements. Tables 12 and 13 below detail cash for both 

AFWCF and TWCF.

This budget focuses on cost-effective modernization in key capabilities called out in the 

National Defense Strategy. Faced with an eroding technology advantage in an international 

environment of great power competition, the FY19 RDT&E budget invests heavily in 

innovative technologies, funds the modernization of our nuclear force, and transforms 

major space capabilities to better perform in a contested environment. It also directs 

funding to game-changing technologies, such as hypersonics, directed energy, unmanned 

autonomous artificial intelligence and machine learning systems, and nanotechnology. 

The FY 2019 RDT&E request focuses on B-21 Raider Long Range Strike Bomber and Global 

Positioning System III follow on, while developing system and operational squadron-level 

constructs aimed to drive innovation that will increase the lethality of the force against 

emerging global threats. RDT&E increases funding for the VC-25B Presidential Aircraft 

Recapitalization (PAR), Combat Rescue Helicopter (CRH), and Advanced Training Pilot 

programs as their engineering efforts expand. The VC-25B PAR program will replace the 

aging VC-25A, commonly known as Air Force One, while the CRH program will replace aging 

HH-60G helicopters. Both platforms have been in the Air Force inventory for approximately 

three decades. Additionally, funding continues for mission systems development and 

systems engineering for the Air Dominance Study. The program is an operational system 

study that conducts operational analyses and threat studies to advance air superiority 

capability improvements that will maintain the lethal edge against global threats. Finally, 

funding will be used for the Advance Pilot Trainer, which will be used to develop new 

training aircraft and ground based training systems aimed to restore readiness by replacing 

aging training aircraft, simulators, academics and computer based training systems. 

Also, the FY 2019 budget transitions our space investment by accelerating our efforts 

to move to a defendable space posture which is critical as our adversaries continue to 

build capabilities to deny our use of space. This budget discontinues the procurement of 

Space Based Infrared System satellites 7 and 8 and shifts funding to the engineering and 

manufacturing development of Evolved Space Based Infrared Systems (or E-SBIRS) that 

invests in the Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (Next-Gen OPIR) system. The 

E-SBIRS will keep space domain systems responsive to new and changing threats and the 

Next-Gen OPIR will detect and report on current, emerging, and anticipated threats and is 

designed for survivability and resilience in the contested environment. Our modernization

efforts include development of steerable high power anti-jam capability for our GPS satellites, 

improving missile warning, and ensuring we optimize our ability to provide military forces 

the speed, precision and lethality they need in conflicts of today and tomorrow. We are 

developing the enhanced polar satellite - recapitalization communications system, which 

continues the availability of secure communications to military forces, and achieving cost 

efficiencies that will return value to the taxpayer.

Additionally, the FY 2019 budget request also increases investment in developmental 

prototyping efforts. Prototyping is an essential tool to get requirements right, inform critical 

decisions of operational utility, evaluate technical feasibility, and to expedite fielding of 

needed capabilities to the warfighter. The Air Force has prototyping efforts in adaptive 

engines, hypersonics, space, cyber/electronic warfare, and low-cost attritable aircraft 

technology. Funding continues mission systems development and systems engineering for 

the Long Range Stand Off (LRSO) Missile. The LRSO weapon is a cruise missile system 

capable of delivering a nuclear effect on strategic targets and increases the lethality of 

the force by penetrating and prosecuting strategic targets. Finally, the budget invests 

in the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent to continue Inter-continental Ballistic Missile 

modernization.

FY 2019 BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS SECTION 3

MILITARY FAMILY HOUSING 

BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE 

The FY 2019 Military Family Housing budget request reflects the Air Force’s continued 

emphasis on providing quality homes and support services for military members worldwide. 

The Family Housing Master Plan is the Air Force’s strategic investment planning tool that 

underpins these budget requirements. The FY 2019 budget request supports service 

members and their families through continued portfolio oversight of privatized housing, 

revitalization of our government-owned inventory, and leasing of homes as required.

The Air Force implemented all Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) rounds as described 

in the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission reports to the President. The FY 

2019 budget request continues environmental restoration at remaining BRAC properties 

through FY 2019. The Air Force continues to align cleanup resources with reuse schedules 

and remains committed to protecting human health and the environment. 

The budget request for BRAC in FY 2019 is principally focused on environmental restoration 

and property transfer at installations closed under previous BRAC rounds. The program 

focuses on protecting human health and the environment through execution of projects 

that result in transferring acreage and achieving goals for environmental compliance 

remediation. In addition to achieving program goals and objectives, these projects must 

provide beneficial reuse of property and meet legally enforceable requirements.

Funding for this appropriation is displayed in Table 28 below.

OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS (OCO) 

Figure 17 depicts the FY 2019 Baseline TOA shown below in Table 29 below subdivided into 

major activities. Major OCO MILCON projects are also depicted in Table 30.

FIGURE 17. OCO FY 2019 Baseline Budget Request

The Air Force serves as an integral Joint team partner and leverages the domains of air, space 

and cyberspace to uniquely contribute to OCO. The Air Force continues to lead the fight 

against Violent Extremist Organizations (VEO), while still heavily engaged in Afghanistan. 

The on-going actions in Operation INHERENT RESOLVE and Counter-ISIS have consumed 

multiple aircraft and approximately 66,000 weapons since the conflict’s inception. The FY 

2019 OCO budget request replenishes prior year expended munitions, while also procuring a 

one-year forecast for heavy usage weapons. These weapons include OCO funded procurement 

of 3,909 Small Diameter Bombs I, the 28,101 Joint Direct Attack Munitions, and 3,000 Hellfire 

missiles. The budget also replenishes 21 MQ-9As and one HC-130J aircraft lost in combat. Our 

FY 2019 OCO budget request also provides operating and personnel support for six enduring 

locations and funds 10 Government Owned, Contractor Operated (GOCO) RPA combat lines 

in support of Combatant Command requirements. In addition to Middle East operations, the 

Air Force also serves as a critical partner in the Joint service response to a resurgent Russia 

and continues to support an increased U.S. military presence in Europe. The Air Force is 

increasing our posture in the Pacific through construction of a cargo pad taxiway extension 

and maintenance support facility on the island of Tinian, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana 

Islands (CNMI). The FY 2019 request includes $4.8B of Weapon System Sustainment (WSS) 

funding transferred from the baseline O&M budget to OCO. This transfer supports readiness 

recovery by funding platforms used for contingency operations. In addition, the WSS transfer 

enables the Air Force to pursue newer, more advanced platforms to increase the lethality of 

the force.

The FY 2019 OCO request includes funding in support of the below operations/lines of 

effort:

» Afghanistan 

» Operation FREEDOM SENTINEL (OFS) 

» Operation RESOLUTE SUPPORT (ORS)

SUMMARY SECTION 4

SUMMARY 

The Air Force budget request of $156.3 billion for Fiscal Year 2019 builds on the progress 

made in 2018 to restore the readiness of the force, increase lethality, and cost-effectively 

modernize. Sustaining these efforts requires predictable, sufficient, and flexible budgets.

This FY19 Budget Request is a critical step toward addressing the issues raised by our 

leaders. Air and space power are indispensable to every joint operation....and the FY19 

budget request is aligned with the recently approved National Defense Strategy, prioritizing 

long-term competition with China and Russia. This budget sets the conditions to deliver a 

lethal, globally responsive, United States Air Force. Together, we can build the Air Force our 

nation needs....with the right size and mix of agile capabilities to compete, deter, and win in 

the complex international environment we face today and into the future.
