Provides Predictability (Personally & Professionally) Provides Sustainable Deployment Capability Optimizes Readiness Can Surge to put the Entire USAF on Line Provides Logical Process to Reset the Force “The AEF concept is how the Air Force organizes, trains, equips, and sustains itself … to meet the national security challenges of the 21 st Century.” AFI-10-400 Aerospace Expeditionary Force Planning
