I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e United States Air Force AF Community Partnership Program Public-Public; Public-Private (P4) Partnerships “Leveraging military installation and local community capabilities and resources to reduce operating and service costs in support of the AF mission” Steven Zander Director AF Community Partnership Program Sept 4, 2014

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e Shared Environment Reduced budgets & fiscal challenges Manpower cuts; hiring freezes; realignments Force structure changes and defense industry reductions Innovative partnerships—sparked by “new” legislation; “broadest authority seen in 30 years” Need to “Make Every Dollar Count,” provide quality services, allocate risk, share value 2 This is NOT business as usual

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 3 What is the AF Community Partnership Program about? Context Installation and communities are inextricably linked Each installation and community is unique We need to tap into the intellectual capital and entrepreneurial spirit of installation/community leaders Must address the needs of our Airmen—the fighting core of our Air Force Leverage underutilized facilities, infrastructure and real estate to meet our warfighting requirements

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e Vision and Goals Local AF and Community Leadership is key! Bring AF leadership and resource support as Installation and Community leaders develop, prioritize and implement community partnership initiatives Practice the “Art of the Possible” Identify ways to get to “Yes” by identifying resource requirements: Time, Money, Manpower, Authority 4 Stakeholders closest to the mission generate ideas in the “best interests of the Air Force/community”

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e Program Criteria When proactive Installation leaders call SAF/IEI asking how to become part of the program, they are told they must meet three criteria: 1. Installation leadership must be fully supportive of the concept and willing to partner—Wing leadership is key! (MAJCOMs must be aware of and concur) 2. Community leaders must be fully supportive of the program—most installations have a military affairs committee or like group so Installation leaders have a fairly good idea who should be invited to participate and can gauge their commitment 3. The Installation and Community leaders need to use our AF process for identifying potential initiatives which leads to a Tabletop Exercise (TTX) within a 6-8 month timeframe 5

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e AF Framework, Policy & Guidance Focused on supporting Installation and Community leaders Cross-functional Task Force of subject matter experts address potential issues AF Policy Directive (AFPD 90-22) published Jul 2014 AF Instruction (AFI 90-2201) in coordination Based upon a proven 7-step AF process that empowers Installations and Community leaders An analytical, methodical approach for achieving mutual understanding and creating shared value Provides a foundation for an enduring relationship to build partnership capacity Set conditions to enable Installation and Community Leaders to see opportunities 8

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e Authorities Leveraging new and existing authorities to identify potential partnership initiatives There are many DOD and Federal agency legal authorities that an installation can utilize for a partnership agreement Lay out the initiative objectives first, then identify the tools to make it happen 9 This is NOT a solution looking for requirements; these are requirements looking for solutions

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e AF Community Partnership Task Force A Cross-functional Air Force Community Partnership Task Force, chaired by SAF/IEI helps guide efforts to identify and reduce potential AF-wide operating/service costs Members’ expertise assists you through the process: Air Operations Chaplain Communications Energy Health Installations Logistics Services Contracting Small Business Finance Legal Security Cost Efficiency Legislative Liaison Public Affairs 10 Base Exchange DOD Schools Office of Economic Adjustment National Guard Reserve Affairs Community Leader Comment: “We Do Not Understand DOD”

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e AF Community Partnership Process 12 Typically a 7-step process (6-8 months) with quarterly follow-ups The AF Community Partnership process is adaptable Identify focus areas, partners, required meetings Identify priorities and resource requirements Conduct Opportunity Analysis to identify long-term initiatives The State and Local Community: “An Unknown Commodity”

I n t e g r i t y - S e r v i c e - E x c e l l e n c e 14 Summary The AF Community Partnership Process is simple Provide a Partnership “Brokering Team” when Installation and Community Leaders commit to using the AF process Schedule a series of 6-7 meetings that enable identifying potential partnership initiatives—this series of meetings helps identify potential initiatives that address mutual need/capacities Once initiatives are “fleshed-out” in adequate detail, bring in experts to help define the way forward—this will help drive initiative priority By the time of the Tabletop Exercise, identify exactly, what resources are required, when resources will be needed and who programs Do it! (or program for funding then do it) The process is simple, but gaining efficiency requires hard work 14
