Fiscal Year 2011 Air Force Budget Materials

The FY 2011 Budget Request provides a balance across all Air Force mission areas to meet the needs of today while preparing for tomorrow. The strategic environment is constantly changing, requiring more flexibility to provide the best mix of capabilities and resources to meet the Department of Defense (DoD) Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and Strategic Review priorities. Interaction across the changing strategic environment creates new and evolving threats that require innovative ways to apply forces, technologies and the resources that enable them. This budget submission addresses the Air Force's top priorities to sustain progress and continue strengthening the nuclear enterprise, partner with the Joint and Coalition Team, take care of Airmen and their families, develop and acquire key systems and ensure increased emphasis on acquisition processes. The pages that follow provide highlights of the budgetary initiatives that enable these leadership priorities through Air Force Core Functions and describe progress made towards meeting mission and QDR goals. As the Air Force organizes, trains and equips air, space and cyber forces for the Nation, these priorities guide the choices required to construct the annual budget request. To be the best stewards of the resources the Air Force executes, the choices made in this budget carefully balance winning today while preparing for tomorrow.
