OVERVIEW Total Force Integration objective Integration models Associate units AFTTP 3.33 Best Practices 2
TFI OBJECTIVE Meet operational mission requirements by aligning equipment, missions, infrastructure, and manpower resources within the Air Force to enable a more effective and efficient use of these assets Key requirement is to ensure that the Air Force maintains the capability to meet combatant commander (CCDR) requirements for both surge and sustained operations Current operations tempo, personnel tempo, dwell time, crew ratios, and a shrinking pool of resources require that t we seek ways to form more Regular Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard partnerships 3
WHY DO WE USE TFI? May be some or all of the following: Maintain AF capability/capacity despite budget constraints Increase utilization of equipment Increase rotational and non-rotational mission capacity Mix force to meet demand while reducing enterprise costs Leverage skilled manpower / mitigate shortfalls Retain valuable RegAF experience in AFR and ANG (with a continuum of service) Capitalize on talents and dedication of part-time citizen airmen Season Junior RegAF members by association with highly experienced AFR and ANG members 4
FRAMEWORKS FOR INTEGRATION Integration initiatives comply with one of 5 basic models: Classic Associate: a Regular Air Force component unit retains principal responsibility for weapon system or systems, which it shares with one or more reserve component units. Regular and reserve component units retain separate organizational structures and chains of command. Varying degrees of functional integration based on MOUs. Active Associate: a reserve component unit has principal responsibility for weapon system or systems, which it shares with one or more regular units. Reserve and regular component units retain separate organizational structures and chains of command. Varying degrees of functional integration based on MOUs. Air Reserve Components (ARC) Associate: Two or more ARC units integrate t with one retaining principal responsibility for weapon system or systems, which are shared by all. Each unit retains separate organizational structures and chains of commands. Varying degrees of functional integration are based on MOUs. Integrated Associate: Similar to the classic associate model; however, members of all components contribute to one unit mission with administrative control and support provided by the respective component via detachments. Fully Integrated: Members from different components comprise a single organization, falling under the same chain of command. Approval of pending legislation will make this option available at a later date. AF/A8 will provide an Interim Change to this document when approval occurs.

ASSOCIATE UNITS Cooperative relationship between active duty and air reserve components Associations used to improve equipment utilization and rotational capacity Leverage highly experienced reserve component airmen to help accelerate the maturing of active component counterparts Knowledge/discussion of terminology and concepts minimizes fi friction and misunderstanding di 6
TFI CHALLENGES Not all missions are equally appropriate for all components RegAF is all full-time, and AFR & ANG are mostly part-time time with full-time civilian careers Differing RegAF, AFR & ANG cultures: With different operational demands/expectations With different career demands/expectations Lack of cross-component education/understanding Lack of written association agreements to bridge cultural divides while executing OPDIR/functional integration Title 10/Title 32 conflicts in associations with ANG Personality conflicts/lack of flexibility Senior leader interest in blending single TFI units under one CC Total Force Enterprise Management, AF/A8XF 19 Apr 13 7
TTP BEST PRACTICES Fully integrate personnel at all levels Place personnel of associate units in positions of like rank/responsibility Est review periods of MOA/MOUs and address gaps Ensure leadership adheres to/enforces MOAs, MOUs Combine awards and decorations efforts to recognize personnel equally and effectively Encourage active involvement in EPR and civil service associations and unions Request fiscal year MPA requirements and funding by June for following gyear 8
WAY AHEAD AFPD 90-10 & AFI 90-1001 revisions in draft Policy goals Improve and standardize HQ-level TFE processes Improve and standardize Association management Facilitate cross-component and cross-majcom communication on TFE issues (AF TFE Roundtable, etc) 9
