00:00.630 --> 00:03.000
to our Air Force Reserve family . The

00:03.000 --> 00:05.111
holiday season is upon us and we want

00:05.111 --> 00:07.111
to take a few minutes to talk about

00:07.111 --> 00:09.333
some important topics as we go into the

00:09.333 --> 00:11.389
new year as a command team . We have

00:11.389 --> 00:13.000
two priorities ready now and

00:13.000 --> 00:14.944
transforming for the future . Four

00:14.944 --> 00:17.111
months ago we published the task order

00:17.111 --> 00:19.222
laying out our expectations for every

00:19.222 --> 00:21.389
airman in the command . The purpose of

00:21.389 --> 00:23.333
the task order is simple to ensure

00:23.333 --> 00:25.556
accountability at all levels . To focus

00:25.556 --> 00:27.667
the Air Force Reserve on what we need

00:27.667 --> 00:29.722
to do to be ready . Each of us has a

00:29.722 --> 00:31.722
part to play from individual airmen

00:31.722 --> 00:33.833
being accountable for their readiness

00:33.833 --> 00:36.056
to commanders developing training plans

00:36.056 --> 00:37.778
for every single airmen to the

00:37.778 --> 00:39.944
headquarters , aggressively working to

00:39.944 --> 00:41.944
remove barriers to unit readiness .

00:41.944 --> 00:44.056
We're going to constantly measure and

00:44.056 --> 00:45.944
adjust as necessary to ensure our

00:45.944 --> 00:47.944
airmen are adequately resourced and

00:47.944 --> 00:49.778
trained . In addition to our two

00:49.778 --> 00:52.040
priorities , we have three foundational

00:52.040 --> 00:54.190
activities , the first being human

00:54.190 --> 00:55.912
capital management . This is a

00:55.912 --> 00:58.134
deliberate approach to ensure each unit

00:58.134 --> 01:00.380
is structured and staffed appropriately

01:00.390 --> 01:02.620
to accomplish the mission . The next

01:02.620 --> 01:04.564
activity is financial management .

01:04.564 --> 01:06.453
We've developed powerful business

01:06.453 --> 01:08.676
analytic tools that allow us to see our

01:08.676 --> 01:10.842
financial position in near real time .

01:10.842 --> 01:12.731
These tools help us to manage our

01:12.731 --> 01:14.953
portfolio on a daily basis and allow us

01:14.953 --> 01:17.260
to execute at speed and make timely and

01:17.260 --> 01:19.760
accurate resource decisions , ensuring

01:19.760 --> 01:21.427
an accurate program objective

01:21.427 --> 01:23.204
memorandum or Palm is our third

01:23.204 --> 01:25.427
foundational activity . The Palm aligns

01:25.427 --> 01:27.482
resources directly to requirements .

01:27.482 --> 01:29.704
Having an accurate Palm is essential to

01:29.704 --> 01:31.538
ensuring we're able to modernize

01:31.538 --> 01:33.593
proportionally and concurrently with

01:33.593 --> 01:35.816
the active duty providing the equipment

01:35.816 --> 01:37.927
and resources to train you to be part

01:37.927 --> 01:40.149
of the Air Force the nation needs , and

01:40.149 --> 01:39.640
more importantly , the Air Force

01:39.640 --> 01:41.751
Reserve . The nation needs to prevail

01:41.751 --> 01:43.807
in long term strategic competition .

01:43.930 --> 01:46.990
The last topic is our 2023 road show .

01:47.000 --> 01:49.222
The boss and I are planning to visit as

01:49.222 --> 01:51.000
many of you out in the field as

01:51.000 --> 01:53.120
possible to witness firsthand how

01:53.120 --> 01:55.342
you're transforming for the future . We

01:55.342 --> 01:57.509
want to hear your voice on what we can

01:57.509 --> 01:59.620
do back at the headquarters to remove

01:59.620 --> 02:01.842
barriers to help you be missing . Ready

02:01.842 --> 02:04.064
and ready now , we're proud to lead the

02:04.064 --> 02:06.080
Air Force Reserve into 2023 look

02:06.080 --> 02:08.191

02:08.191 --> 02:10.247

02:10.247 --> 02:12.302
may be on the horizon , on behalf of

02:12.302 --> 02:14.524
