The Strategic Master Plan does not stand alone. It is at the center of a fully revised Air Force Strategy, Planning and Programming Process, which enables us to make strategy-informed resource decisions. Programmers and planners at Air Force Headquarters and Major Commands are the primary audience for this document. The Strategic Master Plan fills a void in strategic direction and will reduce the need for many existing strategic plans currently issued by various headquarters and organizations. It will be complemented by an Air Force Future Operating Concept document that will describe how we will deliver Global Vigilance, Global Reach and Global Power in agile and innovative ways – appropriate for the future we face.
