Gentil, BS, MEd Major, USAF Approved: ____________________________________ ___ Shane A. Knighton, Major, USAF (Chairman) date ____________________________________ ___ James T. Moore, PhD (Reader) date AFIT/GOR/ENS/07-08 Abstract This research develops a career field’s educational profile through use of the decision analysis approach of value-focused thinking (VFT). VFT is used to solicit the capabilities that the career field manager (CFM) desires its officers obtain from an advanced academic program. This process generates a value hierarchy and a focused set of alternatives (degree programs). The academic programs’ content are evaluated against the hierarchy to determine how well it meets the values of the functional area. A rank- ordered list of degrees is produced and a portfolio of degrees is selected through the use of CFM-approved goal-setting criteria. The specific breakdown of the portfolio into percentages of the force that should attain each degree is then determined through the CFM’s specified relative value increments of the goal-setting criteria. The resulting effort creates a guide for CFMs to communicate to their corps on the types of degrees to earn and provides justification for fully-funded degree slots. iv AFIT/GOR/ENS/07-08 DEDICATION To my husband, daughter, and son. You are my life. v Acknowledgments Above all, I would like to thank God for carrying me through one of the most challenging situations in my life as I tried to juggle the demands of the program along with caring for and enjoying time with my family. Next, I would not have been able to complete this program without the love and support from my husband who stepped in and folded more laundry and did more dishes than any husband in history, all while simultaneously maintaining and excelling in his own career and being a great dad to our children. And to my children, you were the reason for ensuring I kept a balance in my life while pursuing this degree. Thank you for enduring my altered personality at times, providing me the proper perspective on what really matters, and giving me hugs through it all. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my faculty advisor, Maj Shane Knighton, for his guidance and support throughout the course of this thesis effort. His insight and expertise were instrumental in directing me down the right path. Thanks to Dr. Moore for his seasoned experience, expertise, and wise eye for making my thesis a polished product. I would also like to thank my sponsor, Col Michael Gamble, Chief, Strategic Plans Division, Headquarters, United States Air Force, Directorate of Manpower and Personnel, for both the support and latitude provided to me in this endeavor. I only hope that my efforts can make a positive impact. And for my classmates, thanks for all the help on homework assignments and being a sounding board for my thoughts and cynical outlook. You all are a great bunch of officers whom I wish all the best in your future careers. Katherine J.

MT-138 Location: Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB) is located near the City of Great Falls, Cascade County, Montana. Its 564th Missile Squadron has five Minuteman III Missile Alert Facilities (Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra and Tango) and 50 associated Launch Facilities. The Missile Alert Facilities (MAFs) are located in Pondera and Toole Counties, Montana, and their associated Launch Facilities (LFs) are in Pondera, Toole, and Chouteau Counties. Present Owner: MAFB, US Air Force (USAF) Date of Construction Constructed as a Minuteman II system in 1965-1966; converted to a Minuteman III system in 1975 Architect: Ralph M. ParsonsCompany Builder: Morrison Knudsen Company and Associates Present Use: Deactivated Minuteman III Missile Alert Facilities (MAF) and Launch Facilities (LF) Significance: The 564th is an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) squadron based at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana. The fifty Minuteman ICBMs maintained and controlled by the 564th Missile Squadron (MS) were integral components of a massive Cold War defense system developed between the early 1960s and mid-1970s. The Minuteman system was designed to protect the United States from a possible nuclear attack as well as to provide a strategic deterrence, a cornerstone of American defense policy of the era. At the peak of the program, the nation's Minuteman arsenal had a total of some 1,000 operational missiles deployed at a series of northern Air Force Bases, including 200 at Malmstrom.

Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.

You now have a program. We designed this Historical Handbook of National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Leaders as a useful reference work for anyone who needs fundamental information on the leaders of the NGA. We have included those colleagues over the years who directed the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) and the component agencies and services that came together to initiate NGA-NIMA history in 1996. The NGA History Program Staff did not celebrate these individuals in this setting, although in reading any of these short biographies you will quickly realize that we have much to celebrate. Rather, this practical book is designed to permit anyone to reach back for leadership information to satisfy any personal or professional requirement from analysis, to heritage, to speechwriting, to retirement ceremonies, to report composition, and on into an endless array of possible tasks that need support in this way. We also intend to use this book to inform the public, especially young people and students, about the nature of the people who brought NGA to its present state of expertise.

Also, we reviewed readiness data for selected units participating in the Bosnia operation to see whether the operation has affected readiness. This report provides unclassified readiness information on the four military services. Specifically, it (1) assesses readiness trends of selected units from each service from April 1, 1995, to March 31, 1996, with particular emphasis on units that reported degraded readiness during the prior period and (2) assesses readiness trends (for the period Oct.1, 1995, to Mar. 31, 1996) for selected units that participated in the Bosnia operation. On June 26, 1996, we provided a classified briefing to the staff of the Subcommittee on Military Readiness, House Committee on National Security, on the results of our work. This letter summarizes the unclassified information presented in that briefing. Background The Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) is the Department of Defense’s (DOD) automated reporting system that identifies the current level of selected resources and training status of a unit—that is, its ability to undertake its wartime mission.
