 Since 1947, the United States Air Force has realized the potential of air power to defend our country, our citizens, and our friends. Our mission is to fly, fight, and win. Air power, anytime, anywhere. The adversaries we confront today are constantly changing and adapting, and we must do the same. Our focus as airmen must be to challenge the status quo, to make necessary improvements in our Air Force today, so we are ready for tomorrow. To accelerate change, four action orders have been developed that focus on airmen, bureaucracy, competition, and design implementation. These orders will help guide the force into the future. Bureaucracy exists in most large organizations to include the Air Force, and is a necessary reality to help address complex problems. Inbalances in organizational structure and subpar bureaucratic processes, however, can stifle innovation and hinder effectiveness. To go fast, empowered airmen are executing action-ordered bureaucracy and cutting through processes and layers that don't add value to Air Force operations. For example, airmen across the force recently used the Enterprise Decision Rights Process approach to refine more than 800 work streams into just 226 processes. Their challenging of the status quo has helped speed up decision-making timelines and processes that make the Air Force faster. This was the case at Royal Air Force Milden Hall in the United Kingdom where two empowered airmen took it upon themselves to eliminate hard copy forms and old-school data in an effort to improve availability of aircraft readiness data. Their innovation and willingness to accelerate change also saved the 100th Air Refueling Wing $120,000 and 2.5,000 labor hours annually. Fine-tuning operations like these and eliminating unnecessary bureaucracy will take consistent and purposeful action from every echelon of our force. Ultimately, this will ensure we are able to continue outpacing our competitors' decision cycles and undoubtedly preserve our efficiency and effectiveness as the most dominant and respected Air Force in the world. Accelerating change is critical and speed is paramount. Every airman is key to developing the force we need, cutting unnecessary bureaucracy, understanding our competition, and innovating new ways to reshape the design of our Air Force. We must accelerate change. All airmen have a role in shaping our future. Together, we will succeed.
