  • Anatomy of a Reform the Expeditionary Aerospace Force
    ANATOMY OF A REFORM THE EXPEDITIONARY AEROSPACE FORCE Richard G. Davis Air Force History and Museums Program 2003 FOREWORD SINCE MY ASSIGNMENT as Chief of Staff in October 1997, I have worked to bring the USAF into line with the realities of the post–Cold War era. Since 1991, the service has lost two-thirds of its foreign bases and one-third of its force structure and personnel. Yet our nation’s strategy of selective engagement dic- tated that the service be ready to fight and win two nearly simultaneous major theater wars, while maintaining its commitments to a growing string of small- scale contingencies. The mismatch between resources and requirements was forcing the men and women of the USAF into a lifestyle characterized by high personnel tempo at the expense of family life. Drops in retention rates and recruitment indicated that the situation, if allowed to go unchecked, would soon reach serious proportions. The answer was to create the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) — a new way of doing business that improved predictability and stability in personnel assignments and furnished the service with a powerful management tool to more efficiently align its assets with the needs of the warfighting Commanders in Chief. Fortunately, my predecessor had already poured the footings of the con- cept by beginning development of expeditionary forces for employment in Southwest Asia and elsewhere. EAF was an idea whose time had come, and on August 4, 1998, Acting Air Force Secretary F. Whitten Peters and I announced that the time for development had passed and that the USAF would now move as rapidly as possible toward full implementation.
