US Air Force, WASHINGTON: The Air Force hopes to be the model within the Department of Defense for how best to procure goods and acquire weapons systems.
“Five years from now, (we want) people to consider the Air Force the premier acquisition service in the DOD … that we are heads and shoulders above everybody else in how we buy products and deliver products to the warfighter,” said Kenneth Miller, special assistant to the secretary of the Air Force for acquisition governance and transparency.
Much of the responsibility of getting the Air Force to that point will fall on the shoulders of Mr. Miller, who was hired in September. Though he doesn't work in Air Force acquisition, he has nearly 30 years of experience in Navy acquisition.
Mr. Miller says achieving premier acquisition status will require the Air Force to make a commitment to acquisition governance and transparency.
