Improving the Effectiveness of Air Force Squadron Commanders
註釋"A top priority for Gen David Goldfein, chief of staff of the Air Force, is to revitalize the squadron as the warfighting core of the Air Force. Concerns associated with revitalizing the squadron include understanding the major responsibilities and tasks of the squadron commander and how they might vary by squadron type; whether squadron commanders have adequate preparation, resources, and accountability mechanisms to fulfill their responsibilities; what gaps exist; what improvements can be made; and how the impact of these improvements can be measured. A previous review of Air Force Instructions and our discussions with commanders indicate that squadron commanders have numerous duties with which they must comply. Commanders find that ancillary duties that are not properly resourced can interfere with mission performance. Also, commanders we interviewed noted they felt least prepared for the administrative and disciplinary responsibilities required of commanders. Many of those we interviewed also expressed concerns about squadron manning levels and the need for more personnel. These concerns pertained not only to the total number of people in the squadron but also to the distribution of people with the right skills and experience. The present study used a variety of data sources and interviews with 75 squadron, group, and wing commanders to develop recommendations for how the Air Force can address squadron commander responsibilities, improve commander preparation, and monitor resources better."--Publisher's description
