Situation Assessment within the Air Force
The AF Operating Environment is Changing
– Defense budgets are shrinking
– Weapon systems are aging
– Personnel management costs are increasing
– Some career fields are being stressed and civilian/military force levels are changing
– Congressional oversight is increasing
– SECDEF Efficiency Initiatives are taking shape
– Continued “risk” in infrastructure (marginal recap & 80% sustainment)
The Operating Environment Continues to Shape AF Strategies to Gain Efficiencies
– Centralization (e.g., organizational, processes, authorities)
– Consolidation (e.g., BRAC, Joint Bases, merging career fields)
– Leveraging best practices from private sector, academia, consultants, other Services, agencies, & internal AF change management efforts
– Revised Strategic Plans & “Transformational Initiatives”
– Search for IT efficiencies
– Incorporation of asset management principles into business processes
– Expanding Public Private Partnerships

FAR - competitive procurements, sole source arrangements
Sec 2667 - Lease Authority
“... the Secretary is authorized to accept improvements, maintenance, protection, repair or restoration of the property by the lessee in payment of all or part of the consideration for the lease.” 10USC 2667 (b)(5)
Special Legislation
– Sec 816 National Defense Authorization Act for FY95 Demonstration Project on purchase of fire, security, police, public works, and utility services from local government agencies - 8/12/94
– Senate Colloquy - Senator Nunn and Senator Boxer clarify intent of Sec. 816 to waive requirement for A76 Congressional Record - Senate - 9/5/95

Situation Assessment within Communities
The Local Community Operating Environment is Changing
– Community budgets are shrinking
– Demand for jobs is increasing
– SECDEF Efficiency Initiatives are taking shape that will have downstream impacts on communities
– Shared services are becoming the norm among cities/counties
– Elimination of duplicative/non-productive overhead is essential to allow funding of key services
– Services can be tailored to the unique needs of the customer, if customer is willing to pay the cost increment
– We must move from a budget mentality to a cost mentality in all we do
– Erosion of capital reinvestment and sustainment capabilities
The Operating Environment is Shaping Community Strategies to Gain Efficiencies
– Communities seeking new ways to cost effectively serve their citizens
– Communities seeking to expand partnerships with the military to effectively support DoD missions, operations and personnel
– Communities open to new partnership models that will meet community and military objectives
– Monterey Example – “Effectively support the DoD missions, operations, and personnel in Monterey’s installations by providing quality facilities, housing, infrastructure and base support services, at the lowest cost.”

Changing operating environment in Air Force and communities creating need for efficiencies to meet similar objectives
– Serve soldiers and families, serve citizens
– Be cost effective
– Accomplish operational mission, keep base open
Needs are creating opportunities for expanded military-community partnerships*
– Mission encroachment and land use compatibility
– Public safety - force protection, police, fire
– Public services - medical/mental health, social
– Utility infrastructure - water, sewer, energy
– Education and workforce development
– Transportation
– Environment
* Partnerships with communities subject to screening criteria to be applied by Air Force

Explore the possible at proven location – Visit Presidio of Monterey on February 28, 2011, (with City of San Antonio and Joint Base San Antonio) to examine potential of installation collaboration with the community
Attend ADC conference and mission support panels to see other examples, February 14-16, 2011
Consider means of expanding military-community partnerships to realize efficiencies
– Pilots
– Expansion of authorities
– Awareness training, e.g., hold technical session on Enhancing Mission Effectiveness Through Municipal Partnerships at Air Force ESOH Symposium on March 22, 2011 in Nashville, TN
