To analyze the USAF-JWCA Support Structure this study first describes the JWCA process functionality and influence. It then develops objectives and tasks for a USAF organizational structure to support the JWCA Process. The resulting responsibilities are consistent with existing ones except for an added requirement to perform JWCA-like assessments at the service level. These assessments are designed to guarantee existing and future USAF capabilities enhance joint warfighting capabilities and requirements. Analysis of the existing support structure found it to be sub-optimized for meeting both existing responsibilities and the added assessment function. As such, three new options were developed and analyzed. ... The study also identified several personnel issues. The most significant recommendations were assigning experienced action officers to the USAF-JWCA Support Structure and requesting Congress grant joint duty credit to those service members directly involved to improve recruiting. | The Wild Blue Yonder In A Purple World by Samuel J McCraw, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
