Air Force Inspection System Case Study

1544 Words7 Pages

Air Force leaders, at the unit level, have a requirement to evaluate their organizations for risk that would negatively impact their mission. Unfortunately, previous iterations of the Air Force Inspection System (AFIS) focused on compliance with developed guidance instead of encouraging a constant evaluation of risk. During this version of AFIS, it was noted that though an organization may be compliant with guidance, there may be considerable unmitigated risk to the unit’s airman or execution of its mission. This began to present itself in remarkable fashion as nuclear assets were mistakenly transported, gaping holes were discovered in Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) operations and maintenance procedures and retention rates dropped due to unit moral. At the direction of the Secretary of the Air Force and Chief of Staff, a concerted effort was made to develop a system that would identify and prioritize mission risk while still ensuring the compliance of Air Force Wings. This study evaluated the new AFIS system to determine if it does indeed identify those …show more content…

TIG found “the system to be wasteful, inadequate and unsustainable in the current and future resource environment. Over time, Air Force organizations had created over 100 inspections requiring 350+ inspection days over a five-year span for most wings.”1. Of these inspections, only 20% were conducted by the Major Command (MAJCOM) Inspector General (IG) teams leaving 80% created by different Functional Managers. The TIG also identified that the current system was not providing the AF senior leaders with the appropriate performance data that they required. Lastly, the system at the time did not meet United States Code Title 10 requirements for commanders and IG’s to evaluate and report on the discipline and readiness of their assigned

Which may not sound like much, but they went from being responsible for a group of officers during the hours of a patrol shift, to becoming responsible for an entire section of the city 24/7. This case study indicates that the lieutenants struggled with this change in roles, but even more, the sergeants who inherited the soldiers ' former watch commander duties struggled. The case suggests that they were not well informed about the changes or their rationale and had not been given much training or support for their new responsibilities. It can become assumed that the sergeants felt they already had full-time jobs and then were suddenly saddled with additional work without much explanation or preparation. The Chief indicated that, in retrospect, he should have had the sergeants more involved in the change process.

Although the command structure addressed many of the command authority issues, there were still a few issues that caused confusion with the unity of command during the execution phase of Anaconda. The Special Operation Forces and inter-agency organizations had a completely different command chain than the rest of the units conducting the operation. Black SOF had different priorities than CJTF Mountain and they had the authority to request for and receive support from many of the same support assets that CJTF Mountain was using such as the use of the AC-130s. During the execution phase of the operation, since both CJTF Mountain and Black SOF were using the same assets, but had different command structures, it caused confusion and frustration.

In 2009, the United States civilian leadership made the appropriate decision to reduce F22 Raptor procurement quantities from 339 aircraft to 187 aircraft. Although a contentious one, this decision resulted from an accurate assessment of the current and future airpower requirements within the US Air Force. The Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) considered the current and future strategic environment, required capabilities, cost, schedule, and performance problems coupled with budgetary constraints, as well as the need for other competing programs in its analysis. Following this assessment, the JROC appropriately determined that a reduced F22 program best supported national security needs as the country moved out of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. This paper briefly addresses these factors as a part of the Joint Strategic Planning System (JSPS) process.

Shortly after 11 September 2001, Brigadier General James Mattis successfully commanded a Marine unit called Task Force 58 which conducted operations throughout southern Afghanistan. The success of his command is correlated to the six principals of mission command listed in Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 6-0. Although General Mattis used all the principals at some point during his command, he mostly built cohesive teams through mutual trust, created a shared understanding, exercised discipline initiative, and accepted prudent risk. This paper will explain how General Mattis applied these four principals during his command of Task Force 58. However, first, a summary of events leading up to the formation of Task Force 58 and its significant

Before coming here a was a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol for several years, and throughout my time there I was able to observe many different leaders, good and bad. However, one of the squadron commanders still stands out in my mind. His name was Sam, and only fifteen years old when he became the squadron commander. He was perhaps the best leader the squadron had while I was in it. Before he took over the previous commander lacked the motivation to do anything, therefore the squad was in disarray, and no one else had the drive to try to fix the problems that keep arising either.
