Demand for Cost Effective Solutions
Warner Robins Air Logistics Center

“We’ll have to end old ways of doing

business…the American people have
every right to expect and to demand a
government that is more efficient, more
accountable and more responsible… As
commander in chief…we will always give
our men and women in uniform the
equipment and the support that they
need to get the job done.”

 Business Imperative
Warner Robins Air Logistics Center
“As we consider the current economic environment;
the new, more complex security threats our nations
face; the mutual benefits of acting jointly with
interoperable systems; and the opportunities the
global supply chain creates to provide value for
both our customers and our taxpayers, we think the
case for…collaboration will only grow in strength
and urgency.”

“Sustainment is a strategic priority for Aeronautics

and Lockheed Martin. Today, it comprises a quarter
of Aeronautics’ sales and it is expected to grow
significantly in the future.”

“Our customers must know that we will stand by

them and our products no matter what.”
