“Leveraging military installation and local
community capabilities and resources to
reduce operating and service costs
in support of the AF mission”

Director
AF Community Partnership Program
Sept 4, 2014
Shared Environment

Reduced budgets & fiscal challenges

Manpower cuts; hiring freezes; realignments

Force structure changes and defense industry reductions

Innovative partnerships—sparked by “new” legislation;
“broadest authority seen in 30 years”

Need to “Make Every Dollar Count,” provide quality
services, allocate risk, share value
This is NOT business as usual

What is the AF Community
Partnership Program about?
Context
Installation and communities are inextricably linked
Each installation and community is unique
We need to tap into the intellectual capital and
entrepreneurial spirit of installation/community leaders
Must address the needs of our Airmen—the fighting
core of our Air Force
Leverage underutilized facilities, infrastructure and real estate to meet our warfighting requirements
Integrity - Service - Excellence

Vision and Goals
Local AF and Community Leadership is key!
Bring AF leadership and resource support as
Installation and Community leaders develop,
prioritize and implement community partnership
initiatives
Practice the “Art of the Possible”
Identify ways to get to “Yes” by identifying
resource requirements:
Time, Money, Manpower, Authority
Stakeholders closest to the mission generate ideas in the “best interests of the Air Force/community”

Program Criteria
When proactive Installation leaders call SAF/IEI asking how to
become part of the program, they are told they must meet three
criteria:
1.
Installation leadership must be fully supportive of the concept and
willing to partner—Wing leadership is key! (MAJCOMs must be aware
of and concur)
2.
Community leaders must be fully supportive of the program—most
installations have a military affairs committee or like group so
Installation leaders have a fairly good idea who should be invited to
participate and can gauge their commitment
3.
The Installation and Community leaders need to use our AF process
for identifying potential initiatives which leads to a Tabletop Exercise
(TTX) within a 6-8 month timeframe

AF Framework, Policy &
Guidance


Focused on supporting Installation and Community leaders

Cross-functional Task Force of subject matter experts
address potential issues

AF Policy Directive (AFPD 90-22) published Jul 2014

AF Instruction (AFI 90-2201) in coordination
Based upon a proven 7-step AF process that empowers
Installations and Community leaders

An analytical, methodical approach for achieving mutual
understanding and creating shared value

Provides a foundation for an enduring relationship to build
partnership capacity
Set conditions to enable Installation and Community Leaders to see opportunities
Integrity - Service - Excellence
8
Authorities



Leveraging new and existing authorities to identify potential
partnership initiatives
There are many DOD and Federal agency legal authorities that an
installation can utilize for a partnership agreement
Lay out the initiative objectives first, then identify the tools to
make it happen
This is NOT a solution looking for requirements; these are requirements looking for solutions

Summary
The AF Community Partnership Process is simple
 Provide a Partnership “Brokering Team” when Installation and
Community Leaders commit to using the AF process
 Schedule a series of 6-7 meetings that enable identifying
potential partnership initiatives—this series of meetings helps
identify potential initiatives that address mutual need/capacities
 Once initiatives are “fleshed-out” in adequate detail, bring in
experts to help define the way forward—this will help drive
initiative priority
 By the time of the Tabletop Exercise, identify exactly, what
resources are required, when resources will be needed and who
programs

Do it! (or program for funding then do it)
