What Does an Air Force Reservist Do?

As early as 2002, the U.S. Air Force published the 2003-2007 Fiscal Year Transition Flight Plan. It described the methods and steps of the Air Force's transformation, the concept of task force operations, transformation capabilities and technologies, and future scientific and technological challenges. Air Force Transformation Blueprint. In November 2003, the U.S. Air Force released a revised new version of the Transformation Flight Plan, which elaborated the Air Force s transformation strategy and transformation priorities in more detail, and became a guide for all transformation activities of the Air Force. The U.S. Air Force's understanding of transformation is: "The process by which the military significantly enhances its ability to combat or respond to a changing security environment by changing operational concepts, organizational arrangements, and technologies, and seizing and maintaining its superiority.

The active Air Force wing usually has three combat squadrons, and the Air National Guard wing has only one combat squadron. The Air Force Reserve situation is similar.
In the formation of the United States Air Force, the Air Force (NAF) ranks highest, second only to the first-level command. In general, NAF consists of several alliances. In the past, NAF combat missions were not obvious, mainly operation management units. After the transformation of the United States Air Force, the number of NAFs eventually decreased to about 10 and was reorganized into "Warfighting Headquarters" (WFH, short for Warfighting Headquarters). WFH is similar to the US Army s sending unit after its transformation. It can act as a Joint Task Force or Joint Force Air Command and has the ability to command joint services. WFH's forward command is the Integrated Air and Space Operations Center (CAOC). The CAOC system has been promoted during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and has been unanimously affirmed, and is regarded as a model for US cyber-centric operations ^[5]

New coaching strategy

Over the past decade, the United States has undertaken protracted combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. We face a turning point when we responsibly escape from these tasks, take steps to protect our economic vitality, and protect the interests of our nation in a world of accelerated change. The changing geopolitical environment and changes in China's financial situation require a re-evaluation of the US defense strategy. Based on this assessment, the Department of Defense (DoD) has developed a way to shift the focus of our defense cause from today's warfare to prepare for future challenges, protect the broad U.S. national security interests, and drive the Department of Defense's efforts to rebalance and restructure. And support strategies to reduce deficits to reduce the necessary deficits in the national security arena; the resulting guidance strategy provides a set of guidelines to guide decisions regarding the size and type of forces in subsequent budget cycles .

Satellite view of US Langley Air Force Base

To implement the new strategic guidance, the joint force will need to reformulate operational capability standards and selectively make additional investments to succeed in the following mission areas: counter-terrorism and irregular warfare; stop and defeat aggression; and counter-involvement / regional denial Anti-mass weapons; effective cyber warfare and space warfare; maintaining safe, reliable, and effective nuclear deterrence; defending the United States and providing support to civil authorities; providing a stable military presence; stabilizing Combat and counter-insurgency operations; and perform humanitarian, disaster relief, and other tasks.

These missions will determine and shape the operational capabilities required for future joint forces, and the Air Force must continue to provide core capabilities across all 10 mission ranges. However, overall capacity, or the size of the force, will depend on the mission requirements: counter-terrorism and irregular warfare; deterrence and defeat of aggression; maintaining safe, reliable, and effective nuclear deterrence; defending the United States and providing support to civil authorities. The U.S. military will no longer determine scale based on large-scale, long-term military operations to maintain stability.

The new strategic guidance requires the US military to maintain the ability to deter and defeat any potential adversary aggression. Reliable deterrence stems from maintaining the ability to stop the aggressor's expectations of achieving the goal of aggression and its ability to make the aggressor pay an unbearable price. Our plan envisions troops capable of completely rejecting the aggressive targets of a capable country in a certain region through multi-arm combined operations in all areas-land, air, sea, space and cyberspace. Even when the US military engages in a large-scale operation in one area, it still has the ability to prevent opportunistic invaders in another area from achieving its goal-or to make it unbearable.

The Air Force has used this strategic guidance to prepare its fiscal 2013 budget requirements to ensure that the Air Force meets its operational capabilities and meets the mandatory disarmament requirements of the new strategy.

l While ensuring that we still have the capabilities required for defense commitments to Europe and other allies and partners, we can adapt and be competent to deter aggression and provide a stable military presence, especially in high-priority regions and Asia-Pacific and the Middle East task;

l Ready for rapid deployment and expeditions at all times, so that power can be projected on time;

the ability to perform home defence and provide support to civil authorities;

l The ability to use cutting-edge technical equipment obtained from our technical, joint and network advantages;

l the ability to quickly reorganize, or the ability to generate operational capabilities as needed, and

l Operate and lead by the highest quality professionals.

In order to achieve the operational capabilities required by the new strategic guidance and to complete them within financial constraints, the Air Force made difficult choices in all core functions, including the decision to reduce some combat forces and combat support forces. Balance is the guiding principle. To retain key core competencies and maintain rapid response to mission needs, the Air Force balances the risks associated with troop formation and modernization while maintaining combat readiness and personnel programs across all mission areas. In the coming weeks, we will provide more details on fiscal 2013 modernization, readiness, and personnel planning decisions.

This article focuses on our decisions to reduce the number of aircraft and the reconfiguration of troop missions, with particular attention to the impact of these decisions on the Air National Guard (ANG) and Air Force Reserve. The planned reduction plan is the result of a detailed assessment of future conflict scenarios and the need for continuous rotation deployment, and has chosen to maintain the combat effectiveness and lethal strike capabilities while retaining active and reserve forces that are ready and sustainable at all times. The Air Force will be smaller, but it will be highly lean, deadly, ready, agile, and deployable.

Reduce the number of aircraft

Consistent with the new strategic guidance, the Air Force saved 7.8 billion in its 2013 fiscal year budget requirements by decommissioning more than 200 aircraft in its current and reserve forces and nearly 300 aircraft in its five-year defense plan US dollars. The planned reduction in troop strength has affected more than 60 military facilities; in addition to the total troop mission reconstruction activities described below, it will have a profound impact on 24 troops and prevent the Air Force from maintaining a military presence at 8 military bases . The troop reduction will directly affect 33 states, but in order to support the reconfiguration of the total troop mission, the human resources adjustment plan proposed by the reserve force will significantly affect all other troops in 54 states and territorial waters. We will be able to provide human resource adjustment programs for military bases and states in the coming weeks.

Our needs analysis is driven by the decision-making of the new strategy. The analysis of troop size answers two complementary questions: what is the maximum demand or peak demand proposed by the new strategic troop size model; and the steady state for rotation deployment What is it Because the new strategic guidance requires the joint force to have a large-scale, multi-arm combined battle while having sufficient combat capabilities to reject the second adversary, and no longer emphasizes large-scale, sustained stability operations, we The budget requirements take into account the risk that retired fighters, transports, and intelligence surveillance reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft will exceed the new force size structure for emergency operations needs. Although the United States has withdrawn all combat forces from Iraq, and the new strategic guidelines have reduced the steady-state requirements for ground forces, we expect that the steady-state rotation deployment requirements of the Air Force will remain basically constant under the new strategy, or some increase. Because of differences in sustainable deployment rates and operational tempo, the need for continuous deployment after emergency operations is a key factor in determining the ratio of active and reserve.

To the extent possible, we attempted to retire all aircraft of a particular type, allowing us to abolish unique training and logistical support agencies for that aircraft. When this is not possible, we work hard to retire the oldest aircraft first, and redistribute the aircraft to combat and economic forces, and to eliminate other inefficient forces. As we keep older aircraft, we will take steps to ensure they remain useful on future battlefields.

Combat air force

It has been stated in the new strategic guidelines that we understand the risks to the combat air force from retiring or reclassifying seven squadrons: five A-10 squadrons, one F-16 squadron, and one F-15 "Intruder" training / support code squadron. One of the retired squadrons is the overseas squadron because of the Department of Defense's gradual advancement strategy. As a result of being able to conduct a large-scale, multi-arm combined battle while having sufficient combat capabilities to reject the guidance of the second adversary to determine the size of the army without large-scale, sustained stability operations, we Choose to retire more A-10 aircraft. A-10 is still essential for multi-arms joint and stability operations, and we have maintained a sufficient number of A-10 aircraft to meet the needs of the new guidance strategy, but the multi-functional platform provides applications in potential tasks we propose to prepare More.

After the reduction, we retained 54 combat-coded fighter squadrons and provided the bridge to the fifth-generation fighter F-35 while meeting the functions and functions required by the new guidance strategy. Although we converted 5 F-15 "Intruders" to supplementary consumption and cut down an "Intruder" squadron, we still maintained the "Intruder" strong training capabilities; we will bring Alaska Elson Air Force Base The F-16 "Invaders" squadron moved to Elmendorf Air Force Base, which will save Elsen base support costs starting in fiscal 2015.

Air force maneuver

Consistent with the new guidance strategy and similar to the reduction of ground forces, we also reduced airlift capacity, retired all 27 C-5As, retired or cancelled all 38 C-27Js in the plan, and retired 65 aircraft The old C-130. We chose to retire the C-5A because of its lower historical mission capability rate compared to the C-17 and C-5M; the retirement of all C-5A fleets saved training and logistical support that was not possible with multiple models Reduced costs. By replacing the niche C-27J with a lower life-cycle cost and stronger C-130, the reduction of the entire C-27J fleet also reduced expenses. As part of the C-130 decommissioning strategy, we rationalized use and maintenance by reassigning some additional C-130 aircraft to ensure that the reserve force uses only the same C-130 model everywhere.

After retirement, we will retain a fleet of 275 strategic transport aircraft (52 C-5M and 223 C-17) and 318 C-130 tactical transport aircraft (134 C-130J and 184 C-130H), and Our analysis shows that the remaining aircraft are sufficient to meet the new strategic air transport requirements, including direct support missions to the Army issued by superiors. We thank Congress for supporting the adjustment of the statutory mandatory number of strategic transport aircraft. In view of the changes in strategy and troop size, we will seek a new (strategic transport aircraft) minimum of 275.

We also retired 20 KC-135s and maintained a fleet of 453 aerial tankers, sufficient to meet new requirements. Development of the KC-46 is still proceeding as planned, with initial delivery in FY2016.

Intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft

The intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance program cuts down all 18 Block 30 RQ-4 aircraft, saving US $ 2.5 billion on future defense planning (FYDP) by selecting proven U-2S aircraft and sensors that have proven their performance. For example, today U-2 aircraft have outstanding sensor functions to meet the troop establishment requirements of the new Joint Needs Review Committee and can be used until 2040. By stopping funding for all 11 RC-26 aircraft while transferring stronger MC-12 fleets from active duty to the Air National Guard in FY2014, we have saved additional costs. We also retired an E-8C aircraft that was damaged beyond its repair value.

Reduction of reserve aircraft and mission reconstruction

The Air Force has achieved great success in changing the size of our total force to provide continuous combat capabilities to joint operations forces. Over the past two decades, we have adopted a voluntary system, a selective recruiting system, and The cooperation of the reserve and the National Guard has successfully met the needs of the ever-increasing tempo of operations. The Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve are integrated into all the Air Force's main mission areas, training to the same high standards as active duty units, and becoming valuable partners in completing various combat missions. Over the years, we have adjusted the ratio of active and reserve forces to ensure that we maintain an off-the-shelf and sustainable force that can meet emergency and rotational deployment requirements. However, the reduction in the number of military personnel and troop formation over the past two decades has changed the strength ratio of active and reserve forces. In 1990, the reserve force accounted for 25% of the total force, which has increased to 35% today; the reserve force aircraft ownership rate also rose from about 23% to 28% during the same period.

Our Reserve Forces have proven to be a very worthwhile investmentproviding vital Air Force combat capabilities at a time of daunting challenges. However, statistical analysis tells us that the active duty has been reduced to further reductions that will limit our ability to diversify without requiring our Air Force officers-active and reserve-to deploy at speeds that cannot be sustained by all Air Force officers and their families Crisis or the ability to respond quickly to long-term ongoing tasks. We also recognize that the entire Air Forceactive, Air National Guard, and Air Reserverelies on active duty personnel to recruit, train, and arm future Airmen. Further reductions in the number of active aircraft require careful and in-depth analysis to ensure that the size of the active force will not provide the skilled crew, maintenance, and support personnel necessary to maintain the total force. Maintaining an appropriate active / reserve ratio remains critical to maintaining the Air Force's forward military presence and rapid response capabilities, using smaller units to meet overseas rotation requirements, and protecting our most cherished resourceour people.

When we were forced to consider a reduction in FY13, we carefully considered the ratio of active and reserve forces and made the following decision:

1) Ensuring that the Air Force can fulfill the Air Force's emergency operations requirements set by the army's scale structure under the new guidance strategy;

2) Maintain a balance between active and reserve forces required to perform sustained rotation operations at deployment rates and personnel deployment frequencies that can be sustained by both active and reserve forces;

3) Confirm that the active duty force still retains the recruitment, training, and operational break-in bases required to maintain the current active duty force, the Air National Guard, and the Air Force Reserve Force to meet future operational needs, and

4) Ensure that reserve forces remain parties and participants in ongoing missions and new combat missions.

All analyses and decisions involved the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves, and used the principles and strategies described below to build a plan to reduce the number of reserve aircraft and reconfigure missions.

The National Guard's vaulting stone principles determine decisions related to the National Guard:

1) At least one flying unit with Air National Guard equipment must be assigned to each state;

2) At the same time reorganize assets and maintain balance with conventional forces;

3) Manage Air Force National Guard resources with Air Force Reserve personnel;

4) accept tasks consistent with the establishment of the National Guard, and

5) Develop military and civilian combat capabilities.

The Air Force Reserve used the following reorganization strategy when selecting specific areas for aircraft reductions:

1) Ensure that reductions in aircraft numbers do not adversely affect operational support for Combat Command;

2) Ensure that changes in the army structure will not cause any new expenses to the Air Force;

3) Ensure that risks are minimized by optimizing the proportion of air crews to cope with the expected increase in mission capability, and

4) Consider bases that still have Air Force missions due to the presence of other Air Force forces.

Strategic base selection process

The Air Force's strategic base selection process was developed by the Secretary of the Air Force in August 2009 to create an open, transparent, and coherent ideal base selection process. As part of our restructuring and modernization efforts, we will use the strategic base selection process to select the ideal base for the Air Force's current and reserve forces as we acquire new aircraft.

In 2005, the Base Reorganization and Shutdown Committee decided to use Eglin Air Force Base as the primary joint training base for F-35A; in July 2010, the Air Force announced the initial plan for the initial 250 to 300 F-35s in the next base selection process. Identify Hill Air Force Base and Burlington Air National Guard Base as the initial workstations for the F-35, Luke Air Force Base as the next training station after Eglin Air Force Base, and provide all F-35A fighter; the Air Force will announce its future priority and reasonable base plan about 3 years before the aircraft is delivered to the next round of bases. Based on current production estimates, the next batch of F-35 base choices will include domestic and foreign bases, and these bases will not need to be identified before FY17. In the next two years, we will determine the optimal size of active and reserve F-35 units and the number of F-35 workstations required.

The Air Force is currently formulating the necessary conditions for the first two KC-46 bases, and hopes to pass the base selection criteria in March 2012, determine the candidate bases in June 2012, and select an ideal and reasonable plan in December 2012. The final choice was made in December 2013; the two bases will begin receiving aircraft in FY16. We will announce the future priority and reasonable base plan about 3 years before the aircraft is delivered to the next round of bases; according to the current production estimates, there will be no need to choose the next batch of KC-45 bases by FY14. By decision, we are determined to establish collaboration on all KC-46 workstations in the United States.

Potential legislative change

Along with the Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve Forces, the Air Force and the Department of Defense are reviewing the authorizations that may be needed to handle planned reductions and mission restructuring activities for affected Air National Guard members, the Air Force The impact of reserve personnel and their families.

Air Force Force Planning and Collaboration

The Air Force's Total Forces Planning (TFE) management approach provides a comprehensive, fact-based, and iterative process that aims to maximize combat capability through a series of innovative organizational structures and personnel policies that optimize and integrate all Air Force functions Transform and optimize troop formation.

The Association is a major part of balancing the total force to meet the current and future operational needs of joint operations forces for air, space and cyberspace. Total Force Integration (TFI) cooperation units are divided into two types (host unit and cooperation unit) that the two components of the Air Force operate side by side; physical resources (aircraft, equipment, facilities) used to complete the task are allocated to the host unit, But collaboration units share these resources. There are currently three types of total force integration collaboration: classic collaboration, active duty collaboration, and Air Force Reserve (ARC) collaboration.

The classic collaboration is hosted by the Air Force active duty, and the reserve duty collaboration can improve the combat coordination ability and combat capability in emergency operations with reduced expenditures. The active duty collaboration is chaired by the reserve duty, and the active duty force is coordinated. Active service pilots and experienced reserve forces are allowed to help train active force pilots to improve aircraft reception and overall round-to-round combat capabilities; the host and cooperating units of the Air Force Reserve Cooperation are reserve units that are used to impart operational and command effectiveness.

There are currently 100 Total Force Integration (TFI) collaboration units in various weapon systems / function areas and Air Force First Command. The Air Force is in the process of adding classic collaboration to all Air Force Reserve fighter workstations, and Air Force Mobility Command intends to establish active collaboration and Air Force Reserve collaboration at all KC-46 terminals in the United States. In order to create efficiency and stimulate the retention of human resources, that is, to enhance the Air Force's operational capabilities, the Air Force will continue to explore other opportunities for collaboration.

New collaboration

In addition to planned collaborations at Burlington, Vermont and Dannelly Field, Alabama, the Air Force has decided to retain 18 F-16 fighter jets that have been assigned to the Air National Guard Fighter Squadron to support Wisconsin (Meddy) The new F-16 active duty collaboration is set up at the Truvac Air Ground Station, Berkeley, Colorado, Jaffos Field, South Dakota, and Duluth, Minnesota. Although the pre-planned active cooperation at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana was cancelled because Air Force Reserve Command retired the A-10 attack aircraft, it was located at Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, and Wasworth, Texas (Caswell). The active service collaboration between the Fort Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base and Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma (three active forces), and the Homestead Air Force Reserve Base in Florida, will continue as planned. The Air Force Chief of Staff has ordered the Air Force to establish new collaborations at all Air Force Reserve Fighter Stations to ensure that the total force can absorb and train enough young pilots and maintenance personnel to meet future total force requirements.

Air Force's FY13 budget requirements identified at Dobbins Air Force Reserve Base, Georgia, Pointe Cosset Airport, Rhode Island, and Channel Islands, California.Finished in FY14, FY16, and FY17 Operational C-130J active-duty collaboration, and establishment of a pending C-130H unit active-duty collaboration in FY13. In addition, a classic collaboration on intelligence will be set up in Fort Meade, Maryland, Overt AFB, Nebraska, and Herbert Field, Florida, and plans will be set up at White Paterson AFB, Ohio. Classic collaboration for analytics. We have established a new collaboration on the MC-12W mission, which will be handed over to the Air National Guard in FY14; a new active duty collaboration will be established to operate the MC-12W flight training unit at Bill Air Force Base, which will use up to 6 National Guard aircraft, the collaboration will also provide the ability to deploy air combat patrols.

The Air Force has previously funded a "Red Horse" active collaboration at Bill Air Force Base, California, and a classic collaboration on cyber warfare in the San Antonio Joint Base in Texas (Lackland Air Force Base). Defense, security forces at Davis-Montser Air Force Base in New Mexico, and White Paterson Air Force Base in Ohio funded a classic collaboration on intelligence. A total of 15 new collaborations are planned, and the Air Force will continue to look for opportunities to establish collaborations in the budget submitted in FY14.

Military personnel appropriation budget activity code

By improving the way we forecast, plan, plan, and fund military personnel appropriation workday accounts in the budget generation process, we are standardizing our approach to planning military staff appropriation workday funds; these inputs will ensure sufficient and predictable funding Used to support reserve forces to maintain the required level of engagement. Standardization work includes the introduction of military personnel funding requirements during the early common planning process, and with the Office of the Minister of Defense, an independent budget office with a sub-account has been established to promote the participation of reserve forces in more flexible operations and increase reserve forces Opportunities to participate and track military personnel allocations within Air Force personnel accounts. If approved, we expect to include the account in the budget submitted in FY14.

Improve the transparency of strategic planning and optimize the planning process

We have set out to analyze and verify the composition of the Air Force's active force, the Air National Guard, and the Air Force Reserve through the analysis of the force composition of the total force planning review process and system on all major functions of the Air Force. The total force planning assessment team reviewed all of the total force collaborations and oversaw them to ensure they had met the requirements for effective operations. The unit compiles and analyzes individual weapon systems or processes, and makes recommendations on the appropriate ratio of active / reserve forces based on the analysis of operational needs, full armed capabilities, and systems and systems and human costs.

Most importantly, we have strengthened and refined our cooperation procedures to ensure that the Air National Guard and Air Reserve are linked to every step of our analysis and decision-making. The Air Force's senior leaders have ordered that the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard will continue to be fully reflected in the system's formation analysis and will fully participate in the formulation of the core function master plan, which will govern every core function of the entire army Organization, training and equipment activities.

Air Force Reserve Force Study 2020

We believe that the Air Force Reserve Force will meet the Department of Defense's standards for total force integration and operational effectiveness, but we must ensure that we continue to improve our operational capabilities and improve working procedures to maximize our contribution to the joint force in 2020 and beyond. The Air Force Chief of Staff and Reserve Force leaders are determining the terms of reference for an independent study that will evaluate our ongoing efforts to optimize our overall strength and make recommendations for future directions and types of work. The study team is likely to be led by a former Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and includes the director of the Air National Guard and the Air Reserve Reserve.

in conclusion

We are still committed to making an important contribution to the total troop strength and have taken some early steps to:

l To deal with the impact of troop reductions on reserve forces by restructuring missions and allocating aircraft with batch life extensions and performance upgrades;

l When we put F-35 and KC-46 into the army, we develop a strong cooperative use plan.

Increase the number of collaborations between the current active and reserve forces;

l Standardized workday management of reserve forces, and

l Increase the transparency of the total force plan and formulate a future total force plan.

The future of the Air Force depends on maintaining a strong and ready-to-ready reserve force, and we believe that the integration of the Air Force's total strength provides a standard for Air Force active and reserve forces to improve peacetime and wartime efficiency and effectiveness. The disarmament plan proposed in the Air Force's FY13 budget request was formulated in accordance with the new strategic guidance of the Ministry of Defense. The disarmament plan was notified by reducing funds, and the disarmament plan was formed after analysis to ensure that the total force can continue to perform the Air Force Emergency operations require and meet continuous rotation deployment requirements. While the active duty force maintains the recruitment, training, and combat break-in bases needed to make the total force sustainable in the future, we will ensure that the reserve force remains a participant and interested party. ^[6]
