While the FY17 budget request is fully funded at 317K end strength, the Air Force continues its concerted effort to "right
the force" by stabilizing the force size and assessing critical capabilities that requires military manpower growth to 321K to
meet today's air, space, and cyber demands. Although FY16 NDAA authorized 321K, Air Force only requested dollars for
317K because the personnel system could not responsibly grow the force to 321K until FY17. Achieving this force level
mitigates under manned units caused by force structure buy-backs, address maintenance manpower stressors tied to
transitioning from the A-10 to F-35 and expands training capacity to "right-size" the pipeline.

While the FY17 budget request is fully funded at 317K end strength, the Air Force continues its concerted effort to "right
the force" by stabilizing the force size and assessing critical capabilities that may necessitate future military manpower
growth. In FY17, the Air Force goal is to grow to the FY16 authorized level of 321K. This will allow the Air Force to meet
today's air, space, and cyber demands. Achieving this force level mitigates under manned units caused by force structure
buy-backs, address maintenance manpower stressors tied to transitioning from the A-10 to F-35 and expands training
capacity to "right-size" the pipeline. This budget line covers the $10M of Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund
related to the growth of 4K AF members.
In FY17, the AF focused on MILCON recapitalization investments and maintained FSRM at minimal levels, using an asset
management approach to mitigate risk and taking a mission-critical/worst-first approach to address Commanders' highest
facility priorities/biggest facility concerns. The funding will provide a consistent investment that's equal to about 2% of AF
plant replacement value (PRV) (up from 1.6%) and increase TF facilities sustainment from 77% to 80% of the modeled
requirement. Even at 2% the AF requires a sustained investment over an extended period of time to bring facilities back
to a healthy state.

Funds AF portion of Joint Information Environment (JIE) Enterprise Services which includes email, voice systems and webbased collaboration from a common cloud in a "as a service" model. Cyber IT support is funded at 94% of FY17
requirements. To alleviate an execution year shortfall, this funding is required to support Cyber Ops, Joint Information
Environment (JIE) Enterprise Services and data center migration strategy, and cyber security. Specifically, this supports
real world cyber threats/attacks and required incident response/forensics, establishes network protection to 24/7,
replaces vulnerable intrusion detection systems and fully funds the sustainment of the 39 newly created cyber teams.
Funding is also required to fully support DoDs transition to the Joint Information Environment (JIE).

The peacetime AF Long Haul Comm (LHC) program is funded at 38% of FY17 requirements. This creates a $178.8M
execution year bill to a must fund program. This disconnect was created after $199M was transferred from AF to other
Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) customer accounts (in accordance with the new cost recovery model). This
disconnect impacts the entire Air Force DISN LHC network and has the potential to effect every AF mission set and
capability. Additional funding is required to ensure continued voice, data, video, and transmission services to/from base,
installation headquarters, and Federal buildings.
