JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas –
Air Education and Training Command officials released the
command’s 2016 Strategic Plan today, designed to advance the First Command’s
vision of “forging innovative Airmen to power the world's greatest Air Force.”
“The 2016 Strategic Plan links all Airmen – military and
civilian – to core AETC missions that directly impact Air Force operations
worldwide,” said Lt. Gen. Darryl Roberson, AETC commander.
The plan aligns activities across the command, complements
Headquarters Air Force imperatives, and focuses on mission success while
supporting Airmen and their families. The plan highlights four strategic
vectors: Motivational Mission Accomplishment, Know Our Airmen and Families,
Innovation, and Leadership.
“Airpower starts here in the First Command,” said Roberson.
“We are foundational to everything the U.S. Air Force does. This plan clearly
articulates how we can be successful today and agile enough to meet future
challenges to keep America’s Air Force the strongest on the planet … and it all
starts with our extraordinarily talented Airmen.”
Roberson stressed that the 2016 AETC Strategic Plan is
designed to be practical and useful for all Airmen across the command.
“This plan is intentional – it intentionally aligns our
mission to Air Force imperatives and it’s intentionally short. Our Airmen’s
time is valuable and the guidance we give them must be clear, concise and
usable,” he said.
“I encourage every AETC Airman – military and civilian – to
take a few minutes and look through it. Our continued success depends on
everybody’s involvement and commitment.”
The command will establish a framework for assessing its
progress toward meeting the strategic goals. An annex with measurable objects
will be released in the Spring of 2016.
