STRATEGY OVERVIEW

The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center’s mission is to deliver globally integrated installation and mission support to enhance warfighter readiness and lethality for America’s Air and Space Forces. Our installations are the vital power projection platforms that enable our forces and weapons systems to fight from anywhere in the world. The daily focus of our globally integrated AFIMSC team is to revolutionize combat power and installation support for Airmen, Guardians and their families at every Air Force and Space Force installation.

Our AFIMSC strategy focuses on four Lines of Effort: Increase Lethality and Readiness; Strengthen Airmen, Guardians and Families; Pursue Organizational Excellence; and Amplify Warfighter Culture. These focus areas and related objectives optimize our delivery of installation and mission support to the Air Force, Space Force and greater Defense enterprise. Our strategic plan also ensures a holistic approach to tackle challenges based on AFIMSC strategic priorities. This critical approach leverages big data, artificial intelligence, software modernization, and workforce optimization and development to make targeted investments to ensure our mission success despite constrained resources.
