REALITY REVIEW

29
Our Strategy
Engage through VANGUARD

• 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

30
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.
31
Potential ANG Impact
1. Re-shape force structure to match reduced buy
of new weapon systems
October 03

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

32
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
33
Where we are today

• BRAC looming but
• BRAC is NOT 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

34
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.
