I've watched General Cameron over quite a few years. He is the kind of individual who will have the vision and drive to effectively integrate the capabilities of our quality institute and our management engineering agency. At the major air command level, we're activating quality and management innovation squadrons and flights to directly support that major air command. The charter of these new organizations has best been captured in words from the Secretary of the Air Force Sheila Widnall . Our goal is to provide leaders the experts in management innovation necessary to help them make the right decisions on tough resource issues that face us today and in the future.
Expectations are very high.
Events like tonight demonstrate to the senior leadership what can be achieved when we look at process improvement and resource efficiency efforts. As Secretary Widnall said, our commanders need both process improvement and resource allocation expertise. We can make all the improvements in the world, but if we don't tackle the tough resource allocation issues, then success at the unit level is placed in doubt. That's what struck me as I read the reports on the activities of all the teams I had the opportunity to visit tonight. There was a real product.
