What changed in this edition

This document has been substantially revised and needs to be completely reviewed. Major changes include incorporating guidance for the Air Force Force Generation (AFFORGEN) model to include force presentation, force generation, and force management and its integration within the Global Force Management construct; updating the contingency sourcing process for National Defense Strategy (NDS) requirements; and including Operational Contract Support (OCS) planning guidance. AFFORGEN and associated terminology is updated to reflect current doctrine, and to codify roles and responsibilities

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.

9 publications in 6 other communities depend on this one, which Operations owns. Each community inspects its own publications; a dependency that crosses communities is owned by nobody, which is why this list normally does not exist anywhere. Built from the publications' own citations, so it reflects what we have read.
