U.S. Air Force Posture Statement 2007
Abstract
2007 marks the United States Air Force's 60th year as an independent service. The Air Force is engaged every single day in global operations, fighting the Global War on Terror, defending our homeland, providing strategic deterrence, and giving our nation unparalleled Global Vigilance, Reach, and Power. We are committed to sustaining our position of strength, the asymmetric advantages the Air Force gives our nation America's edge. Our 2007 Posture Statement articulates the major elements required to fulfill our mission. It reaffirms our commitment to focus our energies on the Global War on Terror (GWOT); to develop and care for our Airmen and their families; and to recapitalize and modernize our aging aircraft, spacecraft, and equipment. Our top acquisition priorities include: the KC X Tanker; the CSAR X Combat Search and Rescue Helicopter; space communications, space situational awareness and early warning programs; the F 35A Joint Strike Fighter (JSF); and Next Generation Long Range Strike - a new bomber. Our Posture Statement further reaffirms our commitment to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us and our resolve to dominate air, space and cyberspace in defense of our Nation now and in the future.
