The Air Force's assistant secretary for acquisition recently talked about future acquisition challenges and the steps the service must take to smoothly transition into the 21st ce ntury. The need for change is accentuated by the budget environment we live under today. The Air Force Board of Directors has put a lot of effort into articulating our mission and vision.
Responsible stewardship is a key contribution across all core competencies.
Now we must focus on the efforts needed to extend our position as the world's dominant aerospace power. AQ has been at the forefront of acquisition reform, setting the pace via the Lightning Bolts initiatives. We will continue to accelerate the trend to more business-like processes.
