^- Three enduring objectives provide strategic direction

03:50.080 --> 03:52.530
^for the 12th Maintenance Group and its employees.

03:52.750 --> 03:55.773
^First, we strive to always take care of our people.

03:55.930 --> 03:59.070
^Taking care of our people means we provide a workplace

03:59.070 --> 04:01.913
^free of any kind of harassment or abuse.

04:02.150 --> 04:04.410
^We will always strive to make sure our people

04:04.410 --> 04:07.210
^have the tools, equipment, and training necessary

04:07.210 --> 04:09.913
^to do their job safely and successfully.

04:10.300 --> 04:11.920
^Finally, taking care of people

04:11.920 --> 04:14.803
^means working as a team to reduce personal injuries,

04:14.980 --> 04:17.763
^incidents, and accidents, from one year to the next.

04:18.030 --> 04:21.743
^Our quest for an accident-free workplace will never end.

04:22.560 --> 04:25.050
^Our second enduring objective is to provide

04:25.050 --> 04:28.010
^an operationally safe and compliant workplace

04:28.190 --> 04:30.163
^for our people to execute their trade.

04:30.550 --> 04:32.100
^We do our job by the book,

04:32.100 --> 04:34.310
^and employees should never feel compelled

04:34.310 --> 04:36.740
^to throw the book away, look for a shortcut,

04:36.740 --> 04:39.603
^or a workaround to meet our production targets.

04:40.230 --> 04:43.650
When things go wrong, we initiate a root-cause analysis

04:43.650 --> 04:45.313
to determine what went wrong,

04:45.680 --> 04:48.530
what can be done to prevent a recurrence of the incident,

04:48.720 --> 04:51.433
using a systematic approach to problem-solving.

04:52.180 --> 04:54.140
We hold our mechanics accountable

04:54.400 --> 04:56.770
to the highest standards of aircraft maintenance

04:56.770 --> 04:58.003
at all times.

04:58.510 --> 05:01.310
^Finally, as we work to take care of our people

05:01.500 --> 05:03.853
^and create a safe and compliant workplace,

05:03.960 --> 05:07.810
^we provide the aircraft, support equipment, and components

05:07.810 --> 05:11.463
^necessary to meet our third enduring objective,

05:11.510 --> 05:12.523
^to meet our mission.

05:13.130 --> 05:15.473
^Our employees are the best in the business,

05:15.620 --> 05:17.823
^proud Americans, with a tough job to do.

05:18.270 --> 05:21.593
^Our job is vital to the defense of our great nation.

05:22.010 --> 05:25.470
^Each employee affirms his or her commitment to our nation

05:25.760 --> 05:28.210
^and Constitution of the United States of America,

05:28.330 --> 05:30.793
^through the oath of office and daily conduct.

05:31.340 --> 05:33.673
^We believe in the Air Force Core values:

05:34.060 --> 05:38.683
Integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do.

05:38.840 --> 05:41.927
And we demonstrate our commitment to these values every day.
