The mission
of the U.S. Air Force is to defend the
United States and protect its interests
through air and space power. To achieve
that mission, the Air Force has a vision
of Global Vigilance, Reach and Power.
That vision orbits around three core
competencies: Developing Airmen, Technology-to-Warfighting
and Integrating Operations. These core
competencies make our six distinctive
capabilities possible:
Aerospace Superiority : With it, joint forces can dominate enemy operations in all dimensions -- land, sea, air and space.
Global Attack: Because of technological advances, the Air Force can attack anywhere, anytime -- and do so quickly and with greater precision than ever before.
Rapid Global Mobility: Being able to respond quickly and decisively anywhere we're needed is key to maintaining rapid global mobility.
Precision Engagement: The essence lies in the ability to apply selective force against specific targets because the nature and variety of future contingencies demand both precise and reliable use of military power with minimal risk and collateral damage.
Information Superiority: The ability of joint force commanders to keep pace with information and incorporate it into a campaign plan is crucial.
Agile Combat Support: Deployment and sustainment are keys to successful operations and cannot be separated. Agile combat support applies to all forces, from those permanently based to contingency buildups to expeditionary forces.
The Air Force bases these core competencies
and distinctive capabilities on a shared
commitment to three core values
-- integrity first, service before self,
and excellence in all we do.
