The nuclear mission demands a special trust and responsibility. Because Air Force Global Strike Command isentrusted with the nations most powerful weapons, I would like to lay out the strategic environment in which we find ourselves, the challenges we must address, and the plan to do so. During the five years AFGSC has existed, the nuclear enterprise has been renewed, rekindled, reinvigorated, and strengthened. We will continue to build upon that effort; we will challenge ourselves to seek out and resolve any current weaknesses in the enterprise. Finally, we will prepare for the future by continuing to strengthen the nuclear enterprise and culture of compliance while modernizing both nuclear and conventional global strike capabilities.
As the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff have said, Airmen see things globally withoutboundaries. That is especially true of AFGSC Airmen, whose focus is inherently global and strategic. Our mission atAFGSC is vitally important. We provide the nation effective deterrence, and when called upon, rapid global strike.
To the men and women of AFGSC officer, enlisted, civilian, active, Guard and Reserve I'm proud of each and every one of you who bravely defends the nation and secures our freedom. Through your dedication andthrough your effort, I am confident we will be a model command in the United States Air Force and provide astrong and reliable deterrent force for America and our allies. I am extremely proud to be your commander. Ipromise to give you my best every day, and I count on you to do the same. I know that you will. I am excitedabout the future and look forward to the challenges ahead.
STEPHEN W. WILSONLieutenant General, USAFCommander
As long as nuclear weapons exist, the United States will maintain a safe, secure, and effectivearsenal, both to deter potential adversaries and to assure US allies and other securitypartners.1 The 2010 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) provides clear guidance for Air ForceGlobal Strike Command (AFGSC) to provide forces for nuclear deterrence and global strikeoperations. This AFGSC Strategic Master Plan (SMP) details the future strategic environment,future challenges, command vision, values and priorities. Our vision and priorities underpin
our values: responsibility, self-assessment, adherence, expertise, pride, respect, and safety. We will use thesevalues to consolidate our recent gains across the nuclear enterprise and to complete the restoration of a culturethat fully embraces the special trust and responsibility of nuclear weapons.
As a warfighting Component MAJCOM (C-MAJCOM) to United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), AFGSCforces will execute assigned deterrence, assurance, and global strike missions. As a force provider, AFGSC willorganize, train, and equip both conventional and nuclear combat forces for the President and combatant commanders (CCDRs). Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) forces are currently deployed in a nuclear deterrentrole, and AFGSC bombers plan and execute deterrence and Global Power/Strike operations to provideUSSTRATCOM with a visible deterrent capability. AFGSC will continue to support these forces and missions and prepare to provide additional combat power as required to address challenges and threats to the United States.
The strategic environment continues to present a very dynamic and uncertain picture. The number of state and non-state actors that can produce strategic effects across the spectrum of conflict is growing in both quantity andcomplexity. As stated in the 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance (DSG), the US Armed Forces must maintain a safe,secure, and effective nuclear deterrent, deter and defeat aggression, project power despite anti-access/area denial(A2/AD) challenges, and counter weapons of mass destruction (WMD),2 while assuring our allies and partners ofour commitment to our cooperative security agreements. In current and future conflicts, AFGSC forces arerequired to survive and operate in threat environments ranging from low threat/permissive environments to highly contested A2/AD environments. To overcome these obstacles and fulfill our vision, AFGSC will engage with higher headquarters, political leadership, and defense industry leaders to recapitalize, maintain, and modernize the nuclear and global strike enterprise.
The AFGSC priorities are:
Priority 1. Deter and assure with a safe, secure, and effective nuclear force
Priority 2. Win the fight
Priority 3. Continue to strengthen and empower the team
Priority 4. Shape the future
