Situation Assessment within the Air Force
The AF Operating Environment is
Changing
– Defense budgets are shrinking
– Weapon systems are aging
– Personnel management costs are
increasing
– Some career fields are being stressed
and civilian/military force levels are
changing
– Congressional oversight is increasing
– SECDEF Efficiency Initiatives are
taking shape
– Continued “risk” in infrastructure
(marginal recap & 80% sustainment)
The Operating Environment Continues to
Shape AF Strategies to Gain Efficiencies
– Centralization (e.g., organizational,
processes, authorities)
– Consolidation (e.g., BRAC, Joint Bases,
merging career fields)
– Leveraging best practices from private
sector, academia, consultants, other
Services, agencies, & internal AF change
management efforts
– Revised Strategic Plans &
“Transformational Initiatives”
– Search for IT efficiencies
– Incorporation of asset management
principles into business processes
– Expanding Public Private Partnerships

Authorities and Tools
 FAR - competitive procurements, sole source arrangements
 Sec 2667 - Lease Authority
“... the Secretary is authorized to accept improvements, maintenance, protection, repair or
restoration of the property by the lessee in payment of all or part of the consideration for the
lease.” 10USC 2667 (b)(5)
 Special Legislation
– Sec 816 National Defense Authorization Act for FY95 Demonstration Project on purchase of
fire, security, police, public works, and utility services from local government agencies 8/12/94
– Senate Colloquy - Senator Nunn and Senator Boxer clarify intent of Sec. 816 to waive
requirement for A76 Congressional Record - Senate - 9/5/95
 Commander Initiative & Patience
 Collaborating Community
 Table Top Exercises to identify collaboration areas and mechanisms

Situation Assessment within Communities
The Local Community Operating
Environment is Changing
– Community budgets are shrinking
The Operating Environment is Shaping
Community Strategies to Gain Efficiencies
– Demand for jobs is increasing
– Communities seeking new ways to cost
effectively serve their citizens
– SECDEF Efficiency Initiatives are taking
shape that will have downstream impacts
on communities
– Communities seeking to expand partnerships
with the military to effectively support DoD
missions, operations and personnel
– Shared services are becoming the norm
among cities/counties
– Communities open to new partnership models
that will meet community and military objectives
– Elimination of duplicative/non-productive
overhead is essential to allow funding of
key services
– Services can be tailored to the unique
needs of the customer, if customer is willing
to pay the cost increment
– Monterey Example – “Effectively support the
DoD missions, operations, and personnel in
Monterey’s installations by providing quality
facilities, housing, infrastructure and base
support services, at the lowest cost.”
– We must move from a budget mentality to a
cost mentality in all we do
– Erosion of capital reinvestment and
sustainment capabilities

Resulting Situation and Options for Response
 Changing operating environment in Air Force and communities creating need for efficiencies to
meet similar objectives
– Serve soldiers and families, serve citizens
– Be cost effective
– Accomplish operational mission, keep base open
 Needs are creating opportunities for expanded military-community partnerships*
– Mission encroachment and land use compatibility
– Public safety - force protection, police, fire
– Public services - medical/mental health, social
– Utility infrastructure - water, sewer, energy
– Education and workforce development
– Transportation
– Environment
* Partnerships with communities subject to screening criteria to be applied by Air Force

Next Steps
 Explore the possible at proven location – Visit Presidio of Monterey on February 28, 2011,
(with City of San Antonio and Joint Base San Antonio) to examine potential of installation
collaboration with the community
 Attend ADC conference and mission support panels to see other examples, February 14-16,
2011
 Consider means of expanding military-community partnerships to realize efficiencies
– Pilots
– Expansion of authorities
– Awareness training, e.g., hold technical session on Enhancing Mission Effectiveness
Through Municipal Partnerships at Air Force ESOH Symposium on March 22, 2011 in
Nashville, TN
