JFHQ-State Transformation Summary

JFHQs-State and NGB Transformation is underway

We are actively managing change while fighting and supporting both the “home” and “away” games

Law, policy, plans and culture are all evolving

Evolve and further leverage our forces to obtain maximum capabilities for the full spectrum of missions, state, HLD, HLS, and the full scale warfight



REALITY REVIEW



Our Strategy…

VISION: Ready, Reliable, and Accessible force that maintains its Relevancy now and through the millennium

MISSION: To provide combat capability to the warfighter and security for the homeland

Engage through VANGANGUARD



VANGUARD CHARTER

Re-shape the ANG into units prepared for the next generation of missions and equipment.

Ensure our relevancy…

While

Maintaining our core values, community linkage and unique Guard heritage.



Potential ANG Impact

25%Reduction

33%Reduction

1. Re-shape force structure to match reduced buy of new weapon systems

2. Reduce current operating costs to invest in future relevancy (overhead & infrastructure)

TODAY

October 03

“The Air Force is looking at retiring

nearly half of its F-16 Fighting Falcons…”

“Between 400 and 600 fighters – mostly older

F-16s and a few F-15s…”Air Force Times,

July 12, 2004, p.8



Where we are today

BRAC looming – but…

BRAC is BRAC is NOT NOT the forcing function the forcing function FYDP: Decreasing share of budget for

iron New weapon systems: fewer, more effective, cost

more Legacy systems are at risk

F15A, A-10, KC-135E, C-130E, F-16 (Blk 32 & below) Flags are at risk

QDR issues: AC/RC mix, Rebalancing the forces, FTF, Operational Availability



Where we are going

Create a balanced ANG-wide Strategy based on operational requirements Maintain current manpower level ~ 106, 000

Reshape for efficiencies and future missions (12 Tanker, 18/24 Fighter) Ensure seamless ANG support of AEF, OPLAN, HLD Positioned for emerging missions & new

opportunities Continue to leverage core strengths as

we prepare for the future Community link-- ANG flying mission in every state Preserve unit heritage and leadership opportunities

“From where I sit and view the playing field, the air reserve component is on the first string, and for decades to come will remain critical to achieving the full potential of American air and space power. There is no doubt that our Air Force would be infinitely less capable if we were to qualitatively reduce what you bring to the fight.”

The Hon. Dr. James G. Roche, SECAF ANG Senior Leadership Conference 15 December 2003
