The Mission and Vision of The Ngerian Air Force |
The preoccupation or challenges of any military force are principally in 2 dimensions:
getting the force prepared for operations and successfully conducting any operational
task given. Success in the latter depends on the extent of achievement in the former.
Force preparation is a continuous process that requires periodic reappraisal in
order to align the force’s capability and readiness with the prevailing threat,
contingencies, strategic plans of the Service and the Grand Strategy for National
Security. The annual reappraisal of the focus and priorities of the Nigerian Air
Force under the title, Statement of NAF Objectives (SNO) is in line with this process.
CAS VISION
The 2009 SNO outlines the framework of our policy thrust for the year, in line with
the Vision of the Chief of the Air Staff which is “To rebuild the operational
capability of the Nigerian Air Force for effectiveness and
efficient employment as a vital instrument of national policy in a rapidly changing world”.
Therefore, these Objectives are designed to usher in a new strategy to develop the
operational capability of the Nigerian Air Force while consolidating the gains of
2008.
The key drivers of the CAS Vision are Fleet Enhancement and Maintenance; Knowledge-based
Operations and manpower Development; Service Impact/Advocacy; Funding and then Motivation.
Along these routes, this Statement of Objectives identifies perennial obstacles
to our force development and propounds short-term measures towards surmounting them.
The operational, logistic and administrative objectives for year 2009 are thereafter
drawn out based on these measures.
