David Goldfein\u2019s top priorities. In interviews, he has often lamented the stovepiped nature of the service\u2018s C2 enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, Goldfein tasked an \u201centerprise capability collaboration team\u201d led by Brig. Gen. Chance Saltzman, director of current operations, to study how the service can improve its command and control posture. The team briefed Goldfein and Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson about its findings in late November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat I took was a several-hour debrief, but the detailed work that [Saltzman has] done is written in a campaign plan, and I\u2019m just now in the process &#8230; of going through that to make sure I have a good understanding of the detail of the work they did,\u201d Goldfein said Dec. 3 after a trip to California that included stops at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/reagan-defense-forum\/\" title=\"\" class=\"selected-link\" data-original-title=\"\">Reagan National Defense Forum<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2017\/12\/08\/one-u-2-squadron-wants-to-be-the-silicon-valley-of-the-air-force\/\" title=\"\">Beale Air Force Base<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat allows me, I think, to give a lot more clarity in my guidance to make sure that we now take this and transition it from an idea to an actual plan that we can execute over the next few years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/digital-show-dailies\/air-force-association\/2017\/09\/18\/air-force-looks-to-transform-command-and-control-enterprise\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3626611.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Air Force looks to transform command and control enterprise<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Air Force is now closing in on a plan to overhaul how it conducts command and control.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Goldfein was hesitant to delve deep into the findings of the team \u2014 including which ideas stood out to him as being particularly promising \u2014 he said Saltzman had put forward recommended changes in three areas: improving the training and development of C2 professionals, generating a concept of operations and solidifying technical standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve got to develop the operational expertise that this is a cadre of individuals &#8230; steeped in the business of all elements of command and control that can help us advance this thinking as it goes forward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen you\u2019ve got the overall concept of operations. This is the \u2018how do you set the technical baseline? How do you set the common interface standards, the open mission systems, the data standards, the virtualization of data and how we manipulate it? How do we bring in artificial intelligence learning?\u2019 And then there\u2019s the more technical piece.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a September interview, Saltzman said the Air Force will need to overhaul how it buys C2 technologies and get into the business of prototyping and rapidly fielding new products, especially artificial intelligence software that can cut down the time it takes for intelligence officials to put together information and make a decision. It also should imitate the processes used by commercial information technology companies, like agile software development, which could help the service iteratively spin off new technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDon\u2019t wait until you have the perfect answer before you let an operator test it. As soon as you have a viable product, get it to the field,\u201d Saltzman explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also told Defense News that he planned on recommending a specialized career field for command and control professionals, which would reduce turnover in the field and build a cadre of experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He envisions an initial group of about 500 to 700 airmen as dedicated C2 operators. Currently, airmen from different career fields do the C2 mission for a couple years before moving back to their original jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/air\/2017\/12\/08\/one-u-2-squadron-wants-to-be-the-silicon-valley-of-the-air-force\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635558035663924158-air-hasc-unwanted-planes-5jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">One U-2 squadron wants to be the Silicon Valley of the Air Force<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">U-2 pilots at Beale Air Force Base may still be operating an aircraft designed more than 60 years ago, but they&#039;re shopping for cutting edge tech to help augment their decade&#039;s old mission.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goldfein\u2019s Nov. 30 trip to Beale Air Force Base was a chance to explore whether ongoing improvements to the Air Force\u2019s C2 enterprise are having an effect. Goldfein visited the common mission control center, which feeds in data from Air Force assets like the RQ-4 Global Hawk high-altitude reconnaissance drone as well as other services\u2019 platforms, but in a less stovepiped manner than the service\u2019s other intelligence-processing systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe whole idea is how do you take a common interface and open-mission systems, remove the issues associated with data sharing for multiple platforms, sensors, domains? Does it allow you to actually start achieving this common operational picture and decision speed that you hear me talk about?\u201d Goldfein said. \u201cThey are in the lead of this work, so it was an opportunity for me to get a sense of how far they\u2019ve come, and they\u2019ve really accomplished a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now it\u2019s a matter of folding that work into the larger, multidomain C2 picture, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile we\u2019re right now focusing it physically at Beale, because you\u2019ve got to start somewhere, the overall operating concept is not to make a large physical headquarters-centric operation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Future common mission control centers won\u2019t necessarily need to be a centralized physical location and could be more like the \u201cshadow operations center\u201d being stood up at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, where C2 operators and coders will collaboratively prototype and test software.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Air Force&#8217;s multidomain command and control review has concluded.
