ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --  The Warner Robins Air Logistics Center will be "recognized as a world-class leader for development and sustainment of warfighting capability."

That's the vision ALC senior leaders set for the Center in its updated vision statement. A new mission statement as well as revised 2009-10 goals and objectives complement this vision.

"Our new mission statement - 'Deliver and sustain combat-ready air power ... anytime, anywhere' - now more closely aligns with the Air Force's new mission statement - 'To fly, fight and win ... in air, space and cyberspace' - and Air Force Materiel Command's new mission statement - 'Deliver war-winning expeditionary capabilities to the warfighter,'" said Maj. Gen. Polly Peyer, ALC commander. "It also more plainly states our team's purpose ... what we do, day in and day out, and why we do it."

At the same time, "Our new vision statement - 'Be recognized as a world class leader for development and sustainment of warfighting capability' - provides us with a more clear description of where we'd like to be in the future," said the general.

To help the Center realize these aims, senior ALC leadership - including the president of AFGE Local 987, Defense Logistics Agency Warner Robins, Global Logistics Support Center's group commander, and the ALC's four wing commanders - and senior members of the ALC staff set a goal for the center to 'achieve superior performance by integrating people, mission and culture' and identified specific objectives for each of those areas:

-- People - We are a ready, committed, and accountable team using our diverse talents and flexibility to reach our maximum potential.

-- Mission - We are a results driven, preferred provider committed to customer support.

-- Culture - We have an environment of compliance and mutual respect where people of character boldly seek innovation and value their reputation for delivering as promised.

However, the group said it was important that the ALC motto - 'People First, Mission Always' - remain unchanged.

"Those four words are a constant reminder that, first and foremost, we need to take care of one another. We need to do that in order to accomplish 'Mission Always,'" General Peyer said.

"But they're also a reminder that while we've reset our baseline, and refocused ourselves on where we want to be tomorrow, we're building upon our achievements from the past ... achievements made possible only by the hard work and dedication of every ALC team member," she said.
