The Air Force Fitness Program: An Application of the Gingrich 'Vision vs Tactics' Test

Abstract

This study evaluates the senior Air Force leadership intent, or vision, for the Air Force Fitness Program. This intent is then compared to the reality present in unit-level fitness programs. This unit-level reality is based upon three studies conducted in the latter half of the 1980s and with the author's experiences as commander of a Strategic Air Command security police squadron. The results of the study show that senior Air Force leaders expect that unit-level commanders will ensure individuals fully meet Air Force Fitness Program intent and standards. (RWJ)
