Air Force Strategic Plan, Volume 3: Long-Range Planning Guidance

Abstract

As an Aerospace Nation, the United States remains committed to ensuring it remains the preeminent aerospace power of the 21st century. Our recent update to the Air Force Vision flows from the Joint Vision and the National Security Strategy and represents our continuing commitment to providing the Nation with the aero-space capabilities required to maintain our preeminence. Our Vision is grounded in Joint Vision 2020, which expresses the authoritative joint vision of how we will deter, fight, and win future engagements. Furthermore, the Air Force Vision embodies our belief that aerospace power will be the Nation's strategic instrument of choice in the 21st century. The Air Force Strategic Plan (AFSP) puts our Vision 2020, America's Air Force: Global Vigilance, Reach and Power, into action. Published in three interrelated volumes, the AFSP provides guidance and alignment for strategic planning at all levels of the Air Force. Volume 3 of the AFSP, Long-Range Planning Guidance (LRPG), charts the path of change for Air Force capabilities, people, infrastructure, and innovation. Its "Critical Future Capabilities" identify opportunities the Air Force must pursue to achieve our Vision. The LRPG is authoritative guidance that will influence modernization planning and programming decisions via the Annual Planning and Programming Guidance and assist realistic investment strategy planning through the Air Force Program Projection. The LRPG will also help define the Air Force's posture for the next Quadrennial Defense Review.
