Air Force Base Operations & Support

The Base Support program is a collection of well defined programs that support a wide variety of critical functions and capabilities to enhance operations and readiness at U.S. Air Force bases around the world.

Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • The ongoing War on Terror has and will continue to command high readiness for air bases around the world. The program supports current military requirements by operating facilities, communications, security, environmental quality efforts, child development centers and many other support functions for installations.
  • The program avoids duplication and gains efficiencies, at the installation level. The program uses federal, state, or local support effectively to improve base support. For example, air bases use local utility providers to support and maintain operations.
  • The program lacks a uniform set of performance measures to ensure efficient allocation of resources across air bases worldwide. Installations have performance measures but they do not support a defense-wide system to gauge the overall effectiveness of the program (see improvement plan below).

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

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

  • Developing, with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, definitions for all base support services and expected levels of performance that are common across all military services.
  • Developing, with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, cost models and performance metrics for all base support services that are common across all military services.
