Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century (AFSO21) builds on initial successes and work to broaden process improvement efforts in Air Force operational, maintenance, logistics, and support environments. Fundamentally, AFSO21 is a method to see and resolve problems as well as a mindset of continuous improvement grounded in mission results. It emphasizes the use of the Air Force's greatest resource in doing so--dedicated Airmen, guided by world-class leadership and unique core values. It is a transformational initiative that eliminates waste from end-to-end processes. It also focuses on working smarter to deliver warfighting capabilities.
