This requires simple, streamlined structures designed for seamless transition from peace to war.
The principal characteristics desired in Air Force organizations are:
Mission Orientation.
Unambiguous Command.
Decentralization
Agility
Flexibility
Simplicity
Standardization
Organizations should have a reason to exist and should be designed to
achieve the outcome defined in the applicable mission directive.
Mission Orientation
Organizational structure should provide a clear chain-of-command
running from the President to the most junior airman.
Unambiguous Command.
Organizations should be designed so lower echelons can achieve objectives
without needing continuous control from above.
Decentralization.
Organizations should be structured so personnel can recognize problems, find solutions,
make decisions, and implement them quickly.
Agility.
Organizations should be capable of adapting rapidly to changing external circumstances.
Flexibility.
Organizational structure should be as plain and straightforward as possible because
complexity often inhibits rather than facilitates organizational effectiveness.
Simplicity.
Organizations with like responsibilities should have similar organizational
structures.
