2. 2 MASTERMIND Ethos! The Problem The Program The End State Let’s Crawl “ The AOC is fundamental to what makes us great as an Air Force… If you have a group of airplanes but you don't have an AOC, you don't really have an air force. You have a flying club." -- Lt. Gen. Ronald E. Keys, deputy chief of staff for air and space operations, Headquarters U.S. Air Force, OVERVIEW

3. 3 MASTERMIND Ethos! The Problem “How should the AMD be structured to support the future direction of the Air Force and the Joint Community”  In a snapshot: What should the AOC/AMD and Air Mobility Operations Squadrons look like in 2017? Three targets to achieve that goal: developing and fusing technology, training and managing command and control workers, and standardizing the centers. -- Lt. Gen. Ronald E. Keys, deputy chief of staff for air and space operations, Headquarters U.S. Air Force,

4. 4 MASTERMIND Ethos! Assumptions 2017 Assumptions  The USAF will get smaller; we will have less people…theaters will not have enough Airman to man AOC at greater than day to day levels  Technology should increase capability  The US will remain globally engaged “Rumsfeld braces for more violence in Iraq: Says insurgency could endure ‘for any number of years,’ perhaps until 2017,” Associated Press, 26 June 2005.  AOC will be integrated in a greater and more synergistic way with our Joint partners  Military budget will get smaller

7. 7 MASTERMIND Ethos! The Program Adjust AMD team names:  Problem: The name Air Mobility Control Team does not adequately explain what the team does.  By DoD definition: air mobility is the rapid movement of personnel, materiel and forces to and from or within a theater by air. This includes both airlift and air refueling.

They will continue to tighten the linkages among and between our air, sea, and ground forces. Our Airmen will continue doing what they do best for the Joint Team – dominating air and space.

34. 34 MASTERMIND Ethos! Strategy "the practical adaptation of the means placed at a general’s disposal to the attainment of the object in view." In Moltke's formulation, military strategy is clearly a means to political ends. Liddell Hart arrives at this short definition of strategy: "the art of distributing and applying military means to fulfill the ends of policy."

35. 35 MASTERMIND Ethos! Strategy Strategy is that which top management does that is of great importance to the organization. Strategy refers to basic directional decisions, that is, to purposes and missions. Strategy consists of the important actions necessary to realize these directions. Strategy answers the question: What should the organization be doing? Strategy answers the question: What are the ends we seek and how should we achieve them? George Steiner, a professor of management and one of the founders of The California Management Review, is generally considered a key figure in the origins and development of strategic planning. His book, Strategic Planning [2],

36. 36 MASTERMIND Ethos! Strategy Henry Mintzberg, in his 1994 book, The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning [3], points out that people use "strategy" in several different ways, the most common being these four: Strategy is a plan, a "how," a means of getting from here to there. Strategy is a pattern in actions over time; for example, a company that regularly markets very expensive products is using a "high end" strategy. Strategy is position; that is, it reflects decisions to offer particular products or services in particular markets. Strategy is perspective, that is, vision and direction.
