GEN. BRUCE CARLSON Commander

Air Force Materiel Command is the backbone of the flying,fighting Air Force. Its critical contribution to the nation isdelivering war-winning expeditionary capabilities to the

warfighter in four core missions:

* Development and transition of technology* Professional acquisition management* Exacting test and evaluation* World-class sustainment of all Air Force weapon systems.

The people of AFMC ensure our Air Force remains out front technolog-ically. The Air Force Research Lab’s scientists prime our product centersfor acquiring the best, most technically advanced weapon systems in theworld. Our test centers subject each weapon system and its componentsto exacting operational standards. And our air logistics centers sustain a maintenance production rate on aircraft and other weapon systems thatis second to none – despite the fact that the average age of our aircraft is23 years!

AFMC is an exceptionally diverse military organization, both in mission and in people. Our mission extends across the entire weapon system life cycle – from cradle to grave. Our people include Ph. D. scien-tists and engineers, master aircraft technicians, flight-test engineers andpilots, acquisition program managers and directors – nearly 78,000 in all,with about 70 percent of those people in the Air Force civilian corps.

As AFMC executes its four core missions, I have emphasized threefocus areas – health, wellness and safety; professional development; and continuous improvement.

Because health, wellness and safety of AFMC people is paramount,we have established related educational and fitness initiatives and bene-fits. We will continue to focus on AFMC people by initiating professionaldevelopment and training opportunities, particularly with our Air Forcecivilian work force.

Core missions focus everything AFMC people do toward deliveringexpeditionary capabilities to the warfighter. Air Force Materiel Command conducts research, development, test and evaluation, andprovides the acquisition management services and logistics support necessary to keep Air Force weapon systems and warfighters ready forcombat and special operations.

Everything we do must advance our core missions. An incessant

emphasis on continuous process improvement is empower-ing AFMC people to seek out opportunities to perform ourcore missions better, faster and cheaper. Our effectiveapplication of Lean process improvement tech-niques has paid big dividends in sus-tainment as air logistics centersachieve unprecedented andindustry award-winninglevels of perform-ance. One of ourgoals is toimplementsome of thosesame processimprovementtechniquesacross ourother threecore missions.

Air ForceMaterielCommand and theAir Force are facingdaunting challenges. Wemust win the Global War onTerror and we must recapitalize ouraircraft and weapons fleets in order to fightand win the next war. To meet these challenges, wemust generate capital by retiring some of our older and less efficient weapon systems – and we must downsize our Air Force by more than 57,000 people by the end of fiscal year 2011.

To put things in perspective, during the 1990s we down-sized by 40 percent in response to the end of the Cold War.The current downsizing effort, which will continue until

the end of fiscal year 2011, represents about 12 per-cent of our total military force, Air Force

civilian, Air National Guard andAir Force Reserve.

Nonetheless, we are enter-ing a challenging time.

For our Air Force andour command to

execute a 12 per-cent reductionand remaineffective, thestructure andmakeup ofAFMC must

change.Uncertainty and

upheaval alwaysaccompany change,

but so does opportunity.AFMC’s leaders have been

developing strategies that identi-fy and take advantage of opportunities

fostered by necessary changes. We are com-mitted to moving forward as One Materiel Command.

Outstanding people focused on core missions with aneye toward continuous process improvement – that's howAFMC is moving forward. We are seeking out and step-ping up to the opportunities that change is providing.

To build on historical excellence in challenging the unexplored, the Air Force FlightTest Center is the acknowledged global leader in test and evaluation, so that thewarfighter can confidently take aerospace systems into harm's way, successfully

conduct the mission and return home safely.

The 412th Test Wing uses three core components to accomplish its mission: flying operations, maintenance, and engineering.There are nine flight test squadrons with as many as 20 aircraft assigned to each. The aircraft are grouped by mission repre-senting global power (fighters and bombers); global reach (transport); and global vigilance (unmanned and airborne laser).Because of the Edwards AFB Flight Test Range, 20,000 square miles of airspace, (including three supersonic corridors andfour aircraft spin areas), the dry lakebed, and ideal weather conditions, Edwards AFB is the "Center of the AeronauticalUniverse."
