support, and national-to-tactical SIGINT integration. The 480 ISRW leverages federated
mission partners to synchronize timely, significant intelligence using a problem-centric,
sensor-agnostic approach in support of priority theater intelligence problems.
The 70th ISRW serves as the USAF's cryptologic wing. The 70 ISRW executes global
ISR missions to enable effects for the National Command Authority, the joint warfighting
team, air component operations, and USAF mission partners. Additionally, the 70 ISRW
directs ISR support to US Cyber Command, with a focus on digital network analysis and
computer network exploitation to enable cyberspace effects.
Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) is a field operating agency under
the administrative guidance and oversight of the Inspector General of the Air Force
(SAF/IG). It is a federal law enforcement agency, and its primary responsibilities are
criminal investigations and counterintelligence (CI) services. AFOSI is also a combat
ready military organization that provides the USAF a wartime capability to conduct
counter-threat operations, including counterespionage, counterterrorism, and other force
protection activities. AFOSI is the USAF's focal point for working with US and foreign
nation law enforcement and security services to provide timely and accurate threat
information in all environments. AFOSI is the only USAF entity with CI authority, and per
JP 3-60, Joint Targeting, CI is a key element of federated production planning and BDA.
AMC Intelligence Directorate (AMC/A2) coordinates with US Transportation Command
(USTRANSCOM) to maintain databases on airfields worldwide in the event AMC must
use those bases. Such information may be useful when targeting enemy airfields.
Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) manages installation and mission support,
discovery and development, test and evaluation, and life cycle management services and
sustainment for every major USAF weapon system. AFMC also provides effective nuclear
materiel management (NMM) support to the warfighter by managing human capital,
organizations, processes, and procedures used to conduct, execute, and support nuclear
deterrence. NMM responsibilities span all AFMC and HQ organizations and focus on
providing agile cradle-to-grave support to the warfighter.
Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC) is the AFMC-supported center that
synchronizes NMM on behalf of AFMC and in direct support of Air Force Global Strike
Command (AFGSC). Commander, AFNWC is dual-hatted as the Air Force Program
Executive Officer for Strategic Systems with a mission to deliver nuclear capabilities
warfighters use every day to deter and assure.
Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Armament Directorate designs,
develops, produces, fields, and sustains a family of air-to-ground and air-to-air munitions
for both US and allied nations to defeat a spectrum of enemy targets. The information
they provide may be beneficial during weaponeering and conducting MEA.
Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is the DAF’s primary scientific research and
development center and plays an integral role in leading the discovery, development, and
integration of warfighting technologies for air, space, and cyberspace forces. AFRL's
Munitions Directorate (RW) develops superior technology and cost-effective weapons for
