ACC Commander Releases New Strategic Plan
InsideACC, 19 June 2012
The commander of Air Combat Command released "Securing the High Ground: Dominant Combat Airpower for America," the 2012 ACC Strategic Plan today.
"The 2012 ACC Strategic Plan is my guidance for the management and development of the missions and capabilities that are most relevant to delivering combat airpower in support of our Nation's interests now and in the future," said Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of ACC and lead for the Air Force fighter, bomber, intelligence, command-and-control, and personnel recovery programs that make up the service's Combat Air Force.
Securing the High Ground emphasizes the need for all Airmen to work with the unified purpose of providing Joint Force Commanders a wide range of combat capabilities to create effects and set conditions that support joint force objectives and the national military strategy.
The plan establishes focus areas in leadership, excellence, and partnership in combat airpower in order to address four priorities:
· Balance recapitalization and modernization within given resources
· Develop, retain, and care for innovative, motivated, combat-focused Airmen and their families
· Focus organizations, training, and education to improve combat capability for current and future operations across the entire spectrum of conflict
· Improve operational effectiveness and increase integration of Air Force, Joint, Allied, and Coalition capabilities in advanced threat environments.
In setting these priorities for his command, Hostage said "the men and women of Air Combat Command are the most sophisticated and precious resource we possess. Our sacred bond to our Airmen is ensuring they are provided the proper equipment, training, and skills required to achieve success in the missions our Nation has asked them to accomplish. It is not only a fundamental priority; it is the right thing to do."
