The USAF Chief of Staff determined that the long-range planning process within the USAF was broken. To reverse this trend, he initiated a year-long study, Air Force 2025, to generate ideas and concepts on the capabilities the United States will require to possess the dominant air and space forces in the future, to identify new or high-leverage concepts for employing air and space power, and to outline the technologies required to enable the envisioned capabilities. This article outlines the operational analysis, which used Value-Focused Thinking, that supported the Air Force 2025 study.
