The inability to provide an enterprise assessment of combat support capabilities and constraints to inform allocation decisions across Air Force operational priorities is a major shortfall.

• There is no standard, repeatable process to plan, execute, monitor, and control individual agile combat support (ACS) supply chains and functional capabilities within the Air Force command and control (C2) system.
• The methods used to incorporate individual supply chain and functional capability assessments into an integrated and balanced set of capabilities that can inform planning and replanning processes are insufficient and there is no organization tasked with this responsibility.
• The processes used to arbitrate between and among competing operational demands are deficient.

While there is general agreement about their value, ACS processes are not currently established and defined in doctrine, and guidance, tools, and systems are lacking.

• Enhanced ACS processes are not captured in doctrine, guidance, and instructions.
• Detailed roles, responsibilities, and authorities are not captured in doctrine, guidance, and instructions.
• No organization is charged with integrating and balancing stovepiped resource assessments to provide capability and constraint information to the warfighter.
• Without clear guidance, enhanced ACS processes may not become institutionalized in how the Air Force does business.
