The FlyoverCommentaryMarch 20073Transforming Air Forceintelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissanceAs a result of the significant changes within the NationalIntelligence Community and in response to the 9/11Commission Report, we are increasing our emphasis on ourown intel activities. Our initial steps were to create our own DeputyChief of Staff for Intelligence (DCS/I) as a 3-star billet and establishthe goal of transforming Air Force Intelligence.During an Air Force Intelligence Summit in August 2006, I chargedLt Gen Dave Deptula, our first DCS/I, to develop a USAF Intel WayAhead. Early last month he presented me with a flight plan we believewill transform USAF intel into the preeminent intel organization in theU.S. military, with the most respected intel personnel and the mostvaluable intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR)capabilities. I approved his plan and have directed its implementation.Our first step is to realign functions within the Headquarters Staff toestablish the AF/A2 as the single focal point and lead for all Air ForceIntelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance capabilities. To thatGen. T. Michael Moseleyend I have re-designated the AF/A2 as the DCS for Intelligence,Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, empowering the A2 to be the end-to-end functional manager for all AirForce ISR capabilities. Other significant organizational actions - including realigning the Air IntelligenceAgency as a field operating agency reporting directly to the AF/A2 - will occur over the next year.America’s Intelligence Airmen are precious resources, engaged daily at the forefront of securing ourNation’s security objectives. Accordingly, our Intel Way Ahead also addresses end-to-end Intelligence Airmencareer force management, from the focus of our initial technical training to how we develop our intelprofessionals into leaders for the Air Force and Joint Team. For example, we’re increasing the number of AirForce intel general officer billets in critical Air Force ISR organizations as a first step toward growing thenumber of Air Force intel leaders in joint billets. Our review will also address ISR system modernization andupgrades and how we might better present Air Force ISR capabilities to the joint and national communities.ISR systems such as the MQ-1 and RQ-4 bring additional ISR capabilities, but with their increasedpersistence, range and numbers, they also present our intelligence professionals greater intelligenceexploitation and analysis challenges that will be addressed through enhanced career force management.Through technological advances and Airmen’s ingenuity, we can now surveil or strike any target anywhereon the face of the Earth, day or night, in any weather. A more challenging issue today - and for the future - isdetermining and locating the desired effect we want to achieve. Because ISR capabilities are at the core ofdetermining these desired effects, ISR has never been more important during our 60 years as an independentService. ISR has become the foundation of Global Vigilance, Reach, and Power. The ISR transformationinitiatives we are beginning will further enhance our ability to fly and fight as America’s Air Force.T.
