Background/History of the Laboratory:
In late 1975, the Air Force established
the Air Force Logistics Management Center at Gunter Air Force Station,
Ala. It was created in response to a need to centrally manage logistics study improvement efforts
and
concentrate management emphasis on enhancing combat effectiveness. AFLMC was renamed the Air Force
Logistics Management Agency (AFLMA) in 1993. Its charter was, and still is, to solve logistics
problems. Since
its inception, AFLMA has provided a continuing study, analysis, and development capability to the Air
Force
logistics community. Tackling and solving the toughest Air Force logistics problems remain the
focus of the
Agency today. From its beginnings as the Air Force Logistics Management Center, the AFLMA has
grown to be
recognized for its excellence. To maintain its recognized high standard of excellence and continue
providing
the highest quality support to the Air Force logistics community, the Agency has developed strong working
relationships with RAND and the Logistics Management Institute. Additionally, the AFLMA has forged
partnering and teaming efforts with a variety of other Air Force, public, and private sector organizations.
Mission of the Laboratory:
The Agency's mission is to increase Air
Force readiness and combat capability by developing, analyzing, testing,
evaluating, and recommending new or improved concepts, methods, systems, policies, and procedures to
enhance logistics efficiency and effectiveness. Overall, the AFLMA's main goal is to solve today's logistics
problems, but it is also firmly committed to shaping tomorrow's logistics environment as well. AFLMA
is a Field
Operating Agency (FOA) and reports to Air Force A4P.
