‘Change has been a constant in eur Air Force for
‘many yeats. Capabilities are constantly being
adjusted or developed in anticipation of the next

Inatives helped us find the necessary dlls to pay

people to cary out ertical administrative tasks. As a
result, we've placed an even greater demand on our
‘Almen Airmen who already deploy under high
‘operation tempo while generating enough sors
and pushing enough cargo tobe known as he best
fd busiest wing inthe U.S, Air Fore,
To help all of us say aed of operations

‘What does all his mean for the rest of us? There
will be a centralized, easy-c-ase Web site that will
allow us to eletonically generat, sioce and rete

minutes, award packages and projees. Aer some
time, it will also offer desktop collaboration between

‘a workflow capability that can automaticaly gene

Jsiative process we fin ourselves doing every day
can be automated to some degree with EIM. That
