CSAF’s Vision forAir Force Lessons Learned

“As warriors, we must learn from lessons of the past to improve our current and future warfighting capabilities. Our AF Lessons Learned Process must influence our programming and budgeting as well as impact changes to training, materiel, and doctrine. It must be focused on an enduring, real-time process and quickly disseminate critical lessons to Airmen so we can fly, fight, and win.”


Lesson Learned (L2) Defined

An insight gained that improves military operations or activities at the strategic, operational, or tactical level, and results in long-term, internalized change to an individual, group of individuals, or an organization

AFI 90-1601

Always contains information of value to some person or organization May have an associated issue that needs resolution Can apply to any level Includes combat operations and other activities Results in long-term behavioral change Can apply to an individual or group

AF Lessons ProcessNear-Term Goal: Networked Lessons


Collection Perform formal collections Assist informal collections and “push” lessons flow into AFLP

Validation Identifies whether true lesson or issue exists Drills lesson/issue down to root cause

Dissemination Pushes lessons identified to publishing organizations Distributes A9L-produced reports & studies Makes lessons and reports available via data networks Pushes “active” issues to DOTMLPF OPRs for resolution

Tracking Tracks “active” issues through resolution process Long-term periodic revisit on “completed” issues

AFLP Output

Primary product: Lessons pushed to AF DOTMLPF OPRs Lessons pushed to AF POM, PPBE OPRs

Lessons pushed to & tracked in common joint L2 database (JLLIS/JLLR) Accessible to all DoD, both NIPR and SIPR

Lessons pushed to AFDDEC for Doctrine Development Lessons pushed to AU for Curriculum Development Lessons learned presentations at:

CORONA CFACC Course CAPSTONE WG & GP / Commanders Courses

Numerous other connections


AF Lessons ProcessProactive Dissemination

Anticipatory lessons learned summaries Prepare documents of appropriate length in advance (BBP, etc.) Part of A9L mission at all levels

Examples: HAF/A9L produced BBP on NEO L2 for Lebanon NEO in 2006 1AF has distributed L2 product in prep for hurricane season

A9L now has a seat in many CAT/OPT operations Part of CAT job is to provide quick, focused lessons recap—

AF/A9L providing a “top 10” lessons list to AFCAT Most CAT members will not have time to digest 100 page report!


Tracking

All issues tracked through ALMS (JLLIS) Status updates provided to A9L by DOTMLPF OPR “Above the line” issue status provided to CORONA AF only—other services, joint L2 processes do not track

lessons long term “Completed” issues get annual revisit

Is the resolution action working? Do we see fresh instances of the original observation?

“Gatekeeper” check part of validating new observations Is this a repeat writeup?
