Air Force Aircraft and Weapons Readiness

The program ensures that aircrews are trained and ready for immediate and effective employment across a range of offensive, equipped, maintained, and defensive air operations in support of national security objectives. Dominant air power has proven essential to successful resolution of U.S. conflicts.

Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Effective

This is the highest rating a program can achieve. Programs rated Effective set ambitious goals, achieve results, are well-managed and improve efficiency.
  • The Air Force continues to provide trained aircrews when called to do so for a range of military operations.
  • The Air Force recently revised its metric for measuring aircraft operations performance to more accurately assess aircrew proficiency and qualification to successfully operate the Air Force's aircraft.
  • Although the most recent military readiness report to Congress shows that most Air Force units can successfully fulfill their missions, there is no exact correlation between these readiness levels and the program's performance measurements.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Providing revised performance measurements to Congress annually to help Congress make better funding decisions.
  • Creating better linkages among funding decisions, Air Force flying operations training plans, and unit readiness.
  • Creating better efficiency measures to help develop better annual budgets for the flying operations program.
