The results: generating transformation solutions today; focusing the logistics enterprise of the future.(Air Force Logistics Management Agency)

There are many ways to measure mission success. One of them is the count--how much did we do, how much got done, what did we complete? A second way to measure success is meeting our customers' needs. That means three things: first, understanding what the problem really is; second, giving our customers a great, workable solution; and third, meeting Air Force study priorities and needs.

Introduction

The Air Force Logistics Management Agency (AFLMA) is a field operating agency of Headquarters Air Force (AF) located at Maxwell AFB, Gunter Annex, Alabama. We serve under the direction of the Director of Resource Integration, Deputy Chief of Staff, Logistics, Installations and Mission Support (AF/A4/7P). In accordance with Air Force Mission Directive 33, we focus on three principal missions: 1) studies and analyses which generate logistics solutions, 2) support for wargames, and 3) publishing literature related to agile combat support (ACS). However, as mentioned earlier, our mission will be expanding and AFLMA will become the owner of the Logistics Enterprise Architecture (LogEA). As the Air Force implements various initiatives under Expeditionary Logistics for the 21st Century (eLog21), the AFLMA will ensure compliance of those initiatives with the overarching LogEA.

We have approximately 41 logistics researchers, analysts, other specialists, and support staffers on hand whose sole purpose is to deliver to you--our customer--the best possible analyses of logistics issues and challenges in order to improve ACS for the warfighter. This Year in Review will give you a summary of our activities over the past year.

The AFLMA is uniquely positioned to be the logistics go to problem solver for the US Air Force. If we get a request for assistance that we can't handle, then we will refer the requester to one of our strategic partners. Simply stated, we want to be the first responders when Air Force organizations have logistics problems. We also want to make Air Force Smart Operations (AFSO21) principles a way of life both internally and externally for all of our research activities.
