Air Force Roadmap 2006-2025
Abstract
This Air Force Roadmap is a capability-based force structure plan that conveys the planned recapitalization and modernization of the Air Force through 2025. It articulates the strategic foundations of the force and the distinctive air and space power capabilities this force structure provides. The end result is a powerful force structure that will dominate adversaries in air, space, and cyberspace across the spectrum of conflict, now through 2025. For presentation, the Air Force Roadmap organizes current and future force structure under six distinctive capabilities: air and space superiority, information superiority, global attack, precision engagement, rapid global mobility, and agile combat support. Clearly, individual weapon systems operate across multiple capabilities; however, in this Roadmap, weapon systems are generally depicted in a given section based on the capability predominantly provided by that weapon system. Additionally, the Air Force provides specialized air power through Air Force Special Operations Command. While these specialized capabilities could be described using these same six distinctive capabilities, they are included as a separate section to emphasize the unique nature of special operations.
