This professionally-formatted flowing-text ebook presents four major Air Force documents about the future of the service and its vital missions for national defense:

Air Force Global Strike Command "To Deter and Assure" Strategic Master Plan 2014 - As long as nuclear weapons exist, the United States will maintain a safe, secure, and effective arsenal, both to deter potential adversaries and to assure US allies and other security partners.1 The 2010 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) provides clear guidance for Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) to provide forces for nuclear deterrence and global strike operations. 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 these values to consolidate our recent gains across the nuclear enterprise and to complete the restoration of a culture that fully embraces the special trust and responsibility of nuclear weapons.

Air Force ISR 2023: Delivering Decision Advantage - Air Force (AF) Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) is at a strategic turning point. The President's 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance directs the US military to begin the transition from today's wars and to prepare for future challenges including a rebalance toward the Asia-Pacific region. The challenge for AF ISR is to maintain the impressive tactical competencies developed and sustained over the past 12 years, while rebuilding the capability and capacity to provide the air component commander and subordinate forces with the all-source intelligence required to conduct full-spectrum cross-domain operations in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments around the globe. We are outstanding at the former, but must rejuvenate our rich heritage of expertise in the latter. AF ISR 2023: Delivering Decision Advantage focuses the AF ISR Enterprise to meet future challenges and reinforces the importance of ISR as one of the AF's enduring core missions. It articulates our strategic vision for the future and describes three core tenets and five priorities for our Enterprise.

Global Horizons - Global Horizons provides the AF with a collaboratively derived, near-, mid- and far-term science and technology (S&T) vision for revolutionary capabilities that anticipate future threats, mitigate vulnerabilities, and shape maximal advantage of impending and unexpected opportunities. Global Horizons is a blueprint for assuring Global Vigilance, Global Reach and Global Power across air, space, and cyberspace.

Air Force Cyber Command Strategic Vision - As the nation's premier global, multi-dimensional maneuver force, the United States Air Force is charged with safeguarding America by dominating air, space, and cyberspace. We provide global vigilance, global reach, and global power in and through these domains with the agility, reach, speed, stealth, payload, precision, and persistence to deliver global effects at the speed of sound and the speed of light.
