Facility Modernization for the 1990's

Abstract

Throughout the 1980's the Air Force was able to enhance productivity and improve the morale of its people through an aggressive program of facility modernization: these improvements have been documented by Tactical Air Command and other MAJCOMs. The DOD budget outlook for the 1990's indicates that O and M appropriations which support facility modernization will receive major cuts. The commander of the 1990's must be able to continue to modernize facilities and gain the payoffs in productivity and morale...but how? Committment, building a comprehensive modernization program and timely execution of that program are the answers. Commanders must commit their efforts to modernization and will have to challenge budgeteers at all levels to release withhold funds early in the fiscal year for modernization use at base-level. Comprehensive modernization programs must be planned, programmed and executed around the complete spectrum of resources available to the commander. Finally, success breeds success: commanders will have to ensure their bases have developed programs to obligate scarce funds quickly to put themselves in position for additional funding when it is released from higher headquarters; program execution is the key.
