Regulation Status
100-1 100-3 Updated National Communications Plan
Waiting for reg approval Continue to use existing plan
Wing/Region Comm Plans
Status report Submitted Changes requested Changes compete/On web
Observations Plans are “all over the map” from excellent to
superficial paperwork compliance Many did not include items listed in 100-1 Many used massively outdated terminology, such as
“CAPR 100-1, Volume 1” or “communicators nets”
Comm Plan Proposal
Plans should promote critical thinking about operational communications Focus on mission accomplishment for operational
customers Administrative management does not need to be in
the plan available nationally
Consideration of a national template Structure to ensure inclusion of needed planning Flexibility to address local environment
Comm Strategic Plan
Regs refer to national Comm strategic plan, but have little detail
Previous strategic plan approved transition to NTIA compliance Triggered $30+ million in new communications
equipment, including new repeaters and narrowband transition
NHQ developing comprehensive strategic planning process; May not be a separate Comm strategic plan in future
Planning in ACC Environment
Transition to Air Combat Command likely leads to new missions and changing expectations
The “what” we need to do from ACC will lead to the “how” in future strategic planning
Initiatives may begin in 2016, but expect it to be systematic and evidence-based
In the interim, the most recent national communications plan describes directions and current initiatives
Leadership Development
New 100-1 introduces idea of
“Training our own replacements”
Too often wing Comm managers end up being “lone wolves”
Try to do everything Sometimes “don’t share well” Burn-out cycle Failed program Next guy rebuilds
We succeed by helping our subordinates succeed Always encourage, support, and include members
interested in Communications!
