DESCRIPTION:In February 2024\, Air Force and Space Force leaders rolled out
  sweeping changes to the services’ organization\, manning\, readiness\, an
 d weapons development at the AFA Warfare Symposium. The changes aim to pri
 oritize readiness and gain a warfighting edge in the face of intensifying 
 great power competition with China. Air Force Chief of Staff\, Gen David A
 llvin\, announced plans to stand up a new Integrated Capabilities Command 
 as part of the Air Force’s re-optimization and focus on competitiveness wh
 en looking to the future Great Power Competition. With the Integrated Capa
 bilities Command activation\, the Air Force can intentionally dedicate for
 ces who have the functional expertise to focus solely on the requirements 
 generation\, putting capabilities together and effect change for what the 
 Air Force will need for the future. This new command will allow the curren
 t major commands to focus almost exclusively on combat readiness\, shiftin
 g the mindset towards preparing units of action and deployable combat wing
 s to train and fight successfully as one team\, including the medics taske
 d to support them. The Air Force Surgeon General has aligned his efforts t
 o support the CSAF’s intent\, integrating our strategic capabilities with 
 the ICC and US Space Force’s new Space Futures Command\, with dedicated te
 ams developing future capabilities\, while creating a new command structur
 e\, established as the Air Force Medical Command (AFMEDCOM) in August of 2
 024. AFMEDCOM prioritizes readiness (AFFORGEN\, medically ready force\, re
 ady medics\, deployment line support\, incident response\, training/exerci
 ses\, etc.) while balancing the statutory requirement to provide care to o
 ur beneficiaries. With the new structure\, the preponderance of Air Force 
 medics will be aligned under an Air Force Medical Service 2-star Commander
 \, who is dual-hatted as a DHA Network director. This ensures our leaders 
 can prioritize readiness\, enhancing the AFMS’s ability to organize\, trai
 n and equip forces for Great Power Competition with the Deployable Combat 
 Wings and other readiness directives\, while also effectively partnering w
 ith the DHA to deliver statutory healthcare at 76 MTFs. This presentation 
 will convey the current state of Air Force strategic changes\, the current
  status of AFMEDCOM implementation\, and provide the way-ahead as it conti
 nues to move toward FOC.

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In February 2024\, Air Force and Space Forc
 e leaders rolled out sweeping changes to the services’ organization\, mann
 ing\, readiness\, and weapons development at the AFA Warfare Symposium. Th
 e changes aim to prioritize readiness and gain a warfighting edge in the f
 ace of intensifying great power competition with China. Air Force Chief of
  Staff\, Gen David Allvin\, announced plans to stand up a new Integrated C
 apabilities Command as part of the Air Force’s re-optimization and focus o
 n competitiveness when looking to the future Great Power Competition. With
  the Integrated Capabilities Command activation\, the Air Force can intent
 ionally dedicate forces who have the functional expertise to focus solely 
 on the requirements generation\, putting capabilities together and effect 
 change for what the Air Force will need for the future. This new command w
 ill allow the current major commands to focus almost exclusively on combat
  readiness\, shifting the mindset towards preparing units of action and de
 ployable combat wings to train and fight successfully as one team\, includ
 ing the medics tasked to support them. The Air Force Surgeon General has a
 ligned his efforts to support the CSAF’s intent\, integrating our strategi
 c capabilities with the ICC and US Space Force’s new Space Futures Command
 \, with dedicated teams developing future capabilities\, while creating a 
 new command structure\, established as the Air Force Medical Command (AFME
 DCOM) in August of 2024. AFMEDCOM prioritizes readiness (AFFORGEN\, medica
 lly ready force\, ready medics\, deployment line support\, incident respon
 se\, training/exercises\, etc.) while balancing the statutory requirement 
 to provide care to our beneficiaries. With the new structure\, the prepond
 erance of Air Force medics will be aligned under an Air Force Medical Serv
 ice 2-star Commander\, who is dual-hatted as a DHA Network director. This 
 ensures our leaders can prioritize readiness\, enhancing the AFMS’s abilit
 y to organize\, train and equip forces for Great Power Competition with th
