The author addresses Air Force acquisition strategy issues by: (1) reviewing development responsibilities. discussing when the acquisition strategy should be developed, and examining the level of detail necessary at the different program phases (Chapter 2); (2) defining acquisition strategy, defining its purpose, detailing specifically what should be included, and suggesting a process for developing the acqusition strategy using the new Air Force micro-computer technology (Chapter 3) and last, (3) providing a 'checklist' acquisition strategy format that identifies issues the program manager must be concerned with (Chapter 4-30). These 'checklist' chapters also provide some current regulatory and contemporary references for further information on the issues. In practical terms, Chapters 4-30 of this research project form an 'Acquisition Strategy Guide' that identifies considerations to think about in developing an acquisition strategy. This guide also provides a method of communicating this strategy with everyone in the program office. The guide is aimed at Air Force Systems Command (AFSC) program managers.
Department of Defense policy requires that military Program Managers develop a tailored acquisition strategy that will provide the conceptual basis of the overall plan that a Program Manager follows in program execution. A strategy that is carefully developed and consistently executed is one of the keys to a successful program. It is a difficult and challenging task to blend the multitude of requirements for a major system acquisition into an acquisition strategy that represents a consensus among the organizations that influence or are influenced by the program. The challenges in developing and executing and acquisition strategy have led to the development of the acquisition strategy guide. The purpose of the guide is to provide the program manager a framework for developing and executing an acquisition strategy. Criteria for evaluating an acquisition strategy are described and developed. Many of the strategy alternatives available to a program manager are described including advantages and disadvantages, application criteria, functional interfaces and recent program experience.
This guide, in a single source, outlines the factors that a program manager and the team should consider in structuring, developing, and executing an acquisition strategy. A process shows the development and execution of the acquisition strategy together with criteria for evaluating a proposed strategy. In addition, two samples of the Acquisition Strategy Report (ASR), in Appendix C, reflect a critical part of the acquisition strategy.

Multiyear procurement (MYP) is an acquisition strategy that can stabilize weapon system procurement and reduce program costs through economic production rates. This guide is oriented toward government program managers and other system program office representatives interested in the application of MYP on their program. It explains the concept of MYP, gives a brief history, walks through an example, tracks MYP legislation, and describes the criteria for MYP approval and where it can best be applied.
