Synopsis: At the request of the U.S. Air Force (USAF), the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study to examine how to strengthen the USAF human capital management (HCM) system in support of optimal mission capability. The resulting report, Strengthening U.S. Air Force Human Capital Management: A Flight Plan for 2020-2030, offers guidance to the Air Force on the future of its HCM system, including consideration of USAF human capital research, responsibilities, operations, policies, and procedures. The report culminates in a "Flight Plan" describing strategic outcomes and actions to be taken across all levels of the HCM system extending from the immediate to the long term - through 2030. This booklet, designed to be accessible to a broader audience of policymakers and the interested public, summarizes the content of that report.
