The Problem The Program The End State Let’s Crawl
“The AOC is fundamental to what makes us great as an Air Force… If you have a group of airplanes but you don't have an AOC, you don't really have an air force. You have a flying club."
-- Lt. Gen. Ronald E. Keys, deputy chief of staff for air and space operations, Headquarters U.S. Air Force,
OVERVIEW
3MASTERMIND Ethos!
The Problem
“How should the AMD be structured to support the future direction of the Air Force and the Joint Community” In a snapshot: What should the AOC/AMD and Air
Mobility Operations Squadrons look like in 2017?
Three targets to achieve that goal: developing and fusing technology, training and managing command and control workers, and standardizing the centers.-- Lt. Gen. Ronald E. Keys, deputy chief of staff for air and space operations, Headquarters U.S. Air Force,

Assumptions
2017 Assumptions The USAF will get smaller; we will have less people…
theaters will not have enough Airman to man AOC at greater than day to day levels
Technology should increase capability The US will remain globally engaged
• “Rumsfeld braces for more violence in Iraq: Says insurgency could endure ‘for
any number of years,’ perhaps until 2017,” Associated Press, 26 June 2005 . AOC will be integrated in a greater and more synergistic
way with our Joint partners Military budget will get smaller

The Program
Adjust AMD team names: Problem: The name Air Mobility Control Team does not
adequately explain what the team does. By DoD definition: air mobility is the rapid movement of
personnel, materiel and forces to and from or within a theater by air. This includes both airlift and air refueling.

They engineer and manage the machine-to-machine interfaces that allow the Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) to command an aircraft to change its target set in mid-mission while a satellite guides delivery of a munition to a precise coordinate. They will continue to tighten the linkages among and between our air, sea, and ground forces. Our Airmen will continue doing what they do best for the Joint Team – dominating air and space.

JIPRL
The JDDOC will: Collect, validate, analyze, prioritize and synchronize all intra-
theater airlift requirements. Manage the Joint Integrated Prioritized Requirements List (JIPRL)
analyzing for theater workload and prioritization. Serve as an Information Fusion Cell gathering data and reports
for analysis and dissemination. Provide scheduling and execution oversight for the purpose of
ensuring and reporting timely requirement closure. The Air Mobility Division will:
Define Theater Capability with respect to assigned airlift resources.
Plan and schedule all intra-theater airlift missions for movement of intra-theater requirements in accordance with theater and ATO priorities.
Provide C2 for missions in execution. Track mission requirements to ensure timely closure.

Strategy
"the practical adaptation of the means placed at a general’s disposal to the attainment of the object in view." In Moltke's formulation, military strategy is clearly a means to political ends.
Liddell Hart arrives at this short definition of strategy: "the art of distributing and applying military means to fulfill the ends of policy."
35MASTERMIND Ethos!
Strategy
Strategy is that which top management does that is of great importance to the organization.
Strategy refers to basic directional decisions, that is, to purposes and missions.
Strategy consists of the important actions necessary to realize these directions.
Strategy answers the question: What should the organization be doing?
Strategy answers the question: What are the ends we seek and how should we achieve them?
George Steiner, a professor of management and one of the founders of The California Management Review, is generally considered a key figure in the origins and development of strategic planning. His book, Strategic Planning [2],

Strategy
Henry Mintzberg, in his 1994 book, The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning [3], points out that people use "strategy" in several different ways, the most common being these four:
Strategy is a plan, a "how," a means of getting from here to there.
Strategy is a pattern in actions over time; for example, a company that regularly markets very expensive products is using a "high end" strategy.
Strategy is position; that is, it reflects decisions to offer particular products or services in particular markets.
Strategy is perspective, that is, vision and direction.
