“It's time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in
Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we
need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more
transparent, and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a
new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.”
President Barack Obama, 25 Apr 09

Resource Challenges
• United States fiscal environment requires DoD and AF find more
efficient and effective ways of doing business
• AF must help meet current fiscal challenges outlined by SECDEF
– Requires strategic approach to meet challenge
– Preserve maximum capabilities: science & technology, acquisition, test,
and sustainment
– Strategic Solutions aimed at reducing “tail/overhead” while preserving
“tooth/core capability”
• Look for opportunities to increase effectiveness
– Institutionalize standard business practices
– Streamline decision making processes and authorities
– Align missions – single voice to all stakeholders
• AF announced several initiatives—two have large impact on AFMC
workforce; 5-Center Restructure and Global Base Support (GBS)

Global Base Support
(GBS)
15
Global Base Support (GBS)
• AF shift in mind-set about traditional base-level support
• Airman today get their support in different ways than their
predecessors; not every base requires every support function
• Focused on ability to utilize local communities, standardize
services and consolidate/regionalize like functions where feasible
– Standard Level of Service; applied consistent criteria to all locations
(adjusted for isolated/remote locations)
– Consolidation/Regionalization; consolidate functions and support
services to reduce overhead
– Self-Sustaining and/or Partnership with Community; reduce/eliminate
services that can be provided by community services outside the gate
with community business providers
16
Global Base Support (GBS)
• Reviewed 32 Core Functions
– Reviewed all AF Installations
– De-conflicted with other known on-going initiatives/efficiencies
– Reductions impact ABW Manpower
• GBS Tiger Team established to define & provide details
– Team consisted of MAJCOMs, AFMA and HAF staff

GBS CONOPS
• CONOPS for 32 Core Functions developed with MAJCOM
functional representation
– Provides enterprise solutions enabling resource managers at all
levels to consistently implement the efficiencies
– Encapsulates AF-wide solutions that reduce overhead, streamline our
processes, and reduce acquisition and IT costs
– Balances mission needs while taking care to minimize the effect on
the total workforce
• Provides individual implementation actions for each type function
for each functional community (individual or consolidated)
– Each area with its own implementation detail outlining scope,
applicability, impacted workloads, implementation strategy, and any
specific instructions for implementing
• Initial CONOPS roll out planned for Nov 11
19
AF and AFMC Way Ahead
• Additional shaping measures affecting military, civilian, and
support contractors are forthcoming
• Air Force committed to taking care of personnel and supporting
core capabilities in constrained fiscal environment
• All tools will be utilized to minimize impact to workforce
– VERA/VSIP, attrition, vacant positions, and hiring controls
“We are making difficult choices about how to deliberately restructure
and posture the force and will continue to look for new ways of
accomplishing the mission. We can’t afford business as usual.”
General Norton Schwartz, Chief of Staff of the Air Force
