GEN. BRUCE CARLSON

Commander
Gen. Bruce Carlson serves as Commander, Air Force Materiel Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The command conducts research, development, test and evaluation, and provides acquisition management services and logistics support necessary to keep Air Force weapon systems ready for war. General Carlson was born in Hibbing, Minn. He was commissioned in 1971 after completing the University of Minnesota's Air Force ROTC program as a distinguished graduate. He has held various assignments in flying units. Staff assignments have included positions at Tactical Air Command, Headquarters U.S. Air Force, the offices of the Secretary of the Air Force and Secretary of Defense, and as the Director of Force Structure, Resources and Assessment with the Joint Staff. Additionally, he commanded the Air Force's stealth fighter wing, the 49th, at Holloman AFB, N.M. Prior to assuming his current position, General Carlson served as the Commander, 8th Air Force, Barksdale AFB, La., and Joint Functional Component Commander for Space and Global Strike, U.S. Strategic Command, Offutt AFB, Neb. General Carlson is experienced in multiple aircraft weapons systems, is a command pilot with more than 3,000 flying hours, and has combat experience in the OV-10. ALMANAC 2006-07 4

for acquiring the best, most technically advanced weapon systems in the world. Our test centers subject each weapon system and its components to exacting operational standards. And our air logistics centers sustain a maintenance production rate on aircraft and other weapon systems that is second to none despite the fact that the average age of our aircraft is 23 years! AFMC is an exceptionally diverse military organization, both in mission and in people. Our mission extends across the entire weapon system life cycle from cradle to grave. Our people include Ph. D. scientists and engineers, master aircraft technicians, flight-test engineers and pilots, acquisition program managers and directors nearly 78,000 in all, with about 70 percent of those people in the Air Force civilian corps. As AFMC executes its four core missions, I have emphasized three focus areas health, wellness and safety; professional development; and continuous improvement. Because health, wellness and safety of AFMC people is paramount, we have established related educational and fitness initiatives and benefits. We will continue to focus on AFMC people by initiating professional development and training opportunities, particularly with our Air Force civilian work force. Core missions focus everything AFMC people do toward delivering expeditionary capabilities to the warfighter. Air Force Materiel Command conducts research, development, test and evaluation, and provides the acquisition management services and logistics support necessary to keep Air Force weapon systems and warfighters ready for combat and special operations. Everything we do must advance our core missions. An incessant

emphasis on continuous process improvement is empowering AFMC people to seek out opportunities to perform our core missions better, faster and cheaper. Our effective application of Lean process improvement techniques has paid big dividends in sustainment as air logistics centers achieve unprecedented and industry award-winning levels of performance. One of our goals is to implement some of those same process improvement techniques across our other three core missions. Air Force Materiel Command and the Air Force are facing daunting challenges. We must win the Global War on Terror and we must recapitalize our aircraft and weapons fleets in order to fight and win the next war. To meet these challenges, we must generate capital by retiring some of our older and less efficient weapon systems and we must downsize our Air Force by more than 57,000 people by the end of fiscal year 2011.

To put things in perspective, during the 1990s we downsized by 40 percent in response to the end of the Cold War. The current downsizing effort, which will continue until the end of fiscal year 2011, represents about 12 percent of our total military force, Air Force civilian, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve. Nonetheless, we are entering a challenging time. For our Air Force and our command to execute a 12 percent reduction and remain effective, the structure and makeup of AFMC must change. Uncertainty and upheaval always accompany change, but so does opportunity. AFMCs leaders have been developing strategies that identify and take advantage of opportunities fostered by necessary changes. We are committed to moving forward as One Materiel Command. Outstanding people focused on core missions with an eye toward continuous process improvement that's how AFMC is moving forward. We are seeking out and stepping up to the opportunities that change is providing.

MISSION AT GLANCE

o build on historical excellence in challenging the unexplored, the Air Force Flight Test Center is the acknowledged global leader in test and evaluation, so that the warfighter can confidently take aerospace systems into harm's way, successfully conduct the mission and return home safely. RESPONSIBILITIES
The 412th Test Wing uses three core components to accomplish its mission: flying operations, maintenance, and engineering. There are nine flight test squadrons with as many as 20 aircraft assigned to each. The aircraft are grouped by mission representing global power (fighters and bombers); global reach (transport); and global vigilance (unmanned and airborne laser). Because of the Edwards AFB Flight Test Range, 20,000 square miles of airspace, (including three supersonic corridors and four aircraft spin areas), the dry lakebed, and ideal weather conditions, Edwards AFB is the "Center of the Aeronautical Universe."
