The Role of Headquarters Air Force Systems Command in Development and Acquisition Management.

Abstract

The study outlines the responsibilities and activities of key Headquarters organizations and positions; discusses the development planning function including mission area planning and investment strategy; describes the process by which current programs are directed, funded, and monitored; and concludes with a summary of the Headquarters policy function and policy changes currently being implemented. An overview of the organization and resources of the Command as a whole are included for readers not familiar with Air Force Systems Command. The study was accomplished using personal experience, interviews with members of HQ AFSC, briefings, and HQ AFSC publications and directives. The study report was written primarily for personnel recently assigned to HQ AFSC, however, it should also be useful to personnel in AFSC field organizations and other organizations who must interface with HQ AFSC in the performance of their duties.
