An Evolving Agile Combat Support System

Abstract

The development of Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) operations requires rethinking of many Air Force functions, including the combat support system. To a large extent, EAF success depends on turning the current support system into one that is much more agile. In recognition of this, the U.S. Air Force has begun transforming the current support system into an Agile Combat Support (ACS) system. It has designated the ACS system as one of six essential core competencies for global engagement.
