SecAF unveils service's game plan in future security environment

SecAF unveils service's game plan in future security environment: "The Air Force's top civilian addressed Air, Space and Cyberspace Power in the 21st Century during his portion of the 38th Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis-Fletcher Conference on National Security Strategy and Policy Jan. 20, here.

Air Force Secretary Michael Donley noted the service's challenge to 'plan for uncertainty in a complex security environment,' with a multi-faceted approach to supporting combatant commanders and national leadership.

The secretary also discussed strategies to allow the service to plan for uncertainty and ambiguity, mitigate the possibility of surprise, and both shape and recover from what Secretary of Defense Robert Gates described as likely 'imperfect assessments' about the future."
