The United States Air Force (USAF) faces a fiscally constrained
environment today and will likely become even more constrained in
the near future. With a reduced budget and important programs and
critical functions that require funding, the USAF must find
opportunities to save and reallocate these limited resources. This
monograph will analyze the top-level USAF organization to address
specifically whether organization and personnel changes can provide
needed savings, while at the same time improving the USAF
organization to support the combatant commanders and become more
geographically focused to handle the complex global environment and
nature of conflict. While the size of force and force structure
have shrunk to the lowest points in USAF history, organizational
analysis finds the USAF structure overmanned with staff officers
and civilians. Further examination finds an organization with
significant depth and primarily organized in a functional manner.
Given these issues, this monograph proposes eliminating a layer of
the USAF organization by removing major commands and promoting
numbered air forces subordinate to the Headquarters USAF. This type
of organization can better support combatant commands, advance USAF
regional expertise and focus through the numbered air forces, adapt
quicker to global situations, and also ensure important USAF
history and traditions endure.
