“We must face the fact the strategic environment is changing and we haven’t changed at the same pace,” Brown told attendees at an I-WEPTAC-related Mission Support Leadership Summit on April 19. “It’s time we accelerate change to tackle our problems and prepare our Air Force for the future so we can better compete, deter, and fight and win America’s wars.”
Conference planning in support of this year’s theme, “The Agile Combat Support We Need: Offsetting Risk,” began more than eight months ago with a call for topics.
“We started with 54 topics last summer, put it out to the enterprise, major commands and Air Staff, then narrowed it down to four problems the Air Force has to get after to accelerate change or lose,” said

I-WEPTAC tackles the challenges facing agile combat support by leveraging the expertise and experience of Airmen from around the world. The MAWG chairs will round out their teams with approximately 100 Airmen in the weeks ahead.
“I-WEPTAC is on and we’re looking for innovative ideas from those of you out there in our installation and mission support arena,” said
Maj. Gen. Tom Wilcox, commander of AFIMSC. “I know there are good ideas out there. Join the team and bring them to us. Help us solve today’s challenging problems.
“Together we can enhance our ability to deliver the agile combat support capabilities we need. Once you’re done, it will be our job to take your recommendations from idea to proof of concept.”
