Air Force Releases Strategic Plan

National Guard, Nov 2006

The Air Force Strategic Plan 2006-2008 was released and now is available online. The plan articulates the Air Force mission.

"The Air Force strategic plan embodies how we will defend the nation against current and emerging threats," secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne and Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T Michael Moseley said in a joint letter announcing its release.

"It demonstrates scalable choices, not limited by distance or time," the letter said. "Our strategic choices-what we choose to prioritize, our actions in support of our priorities and the order in which we take them-sustain us as the world's premier air and space force."

The plan focuses on the three priorities the Air Force has had over the last few years: winning the war on terrorism, developing airmen and recapitalizing the aging air fleet.
