Partnering, partnerships, strategic partnerships--those are some interesting words. You've probably heard them bantered about frequently during the last few years. Likewise, you've probably seen a variety of briefs, books, pamphlets, or handouts where organizations told you about their partnerships.

Have you ever found yourself thinking yeah, right? Or saying all eyewash? Simply renaming a traditional relationship with another organization does not make a strategic partnership. Merely identifying our daily efforts with another Air Force organization as teaming up is not our approach. Rather, we recognize partnerships as a needed tool to make things such as agile combat support (ACS) and expeditionary airpower a reality.

We use partnerships to give us the capabilities we don't have, and we use them to be able to do-or do better--some of the things listed below.

* Finding those private sector practices that benefit Air Force logistics

* Finding ways to improve resource management

* Integrating new or emerging technology

* Making Air Force logistics streamlined and more responsive
