by Progressive Management

Overview

Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this unique book reproduces three important reports from the U.S. Air Force about energy policy and the service: U.S. Air Force Energy Strategic Plan; Energy Horizons: United States Air Force / Energy S&T Vision 2011-2026; Energy Horizons: A Science and Technology Vision for Air Force Energy.

From aviation operations to installations and ground vehicles within the homeland and abroad, energy is essential for Air Force operations and a key to our national and economic security. Maintaining the Air Force's critical airpower contributions to national security requires significant amounts of energy. Accordingly, the Air Force has developed a comprehensive energy strategy to improve its ability to manage supply and demand in a way that enhances mission capability and readiness.

The Air Force Energy Strategic Plan reflects recent developments in the Department of Defense (DoD), such as the incorporation of energy into the Quadrennial Defense Review and a stronger focus on operational energy, as well as changes to how the Air Force approaches energy. Since energy management is an evolving process requiring systematic incorporation of new information, the Air Force is issuing an updated Air Force Energy Strategic Plan to replace the 2010 Air Force Energy Plan.

This plan focuses the scope of the Air Force's energy posture by incorporating energy security and operational energy into our strategic energy priorities, goals, and objectives. Additionally, it helps set the stage for the Air Force to meet federal energy legislative provisions, executive orders, and DoD directives. The Air Force Energy Strategic Plan aligns with the goals of the National Security Strategy, the DoD Operational Energy Strategy, and the Air Force Strategic Plan, and reflects the continuous evolution of the Air Force's energy program.

To continue sustaining and enhancing its capabilities, particularly in an era of increasing fiscal constraint, the Air Force must diligently manage its resources, including energy and water. Our priority is to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions to ensure that we continue to achieve our critical missions that provide Global Vigilance, Global Reach, and Global Power. By developing a robust, resilient, and ready energy posture, we will enable our warfighters, expand our operational effectiveness in air, space, and cyberspace, and enhance national security.
