Experts, operators, and subject matter experts convened in Southern Ariz. to provide input from the field to a specialized council that is focused on improving the mission capability of today’s warfighter.
The Weapons and Tactics Council, WEPTAC, is the system designed to gather information from the field and ensure air dominance for the Air Reserve Component future.
The Air Reserve Components, ARC, is the Air Force Reserve Command, AFRC, and the Air National Guard, ANG. The ARC provides operational capabilities and strategic depth to meet US defense requirements across the range of military operations. WEPTAC reports directly to the ARC.
This year WEPTAC met throughout various locations on Davis-Monthan AFB and Morris Air National Guard Base, both bases are in Tucson, Ariz.
WEPTAC is instrumental in determining the tactics, trainings, procedures, software, and hardware required to accomplish varied ARC missions by operating as the forum that will disseminate information throughout the Air Force enterprise, obtain inputs from the field, and facilitate crosstalk among field units & supporting staffs.
This effort is done primarily through mission design series, MDS, working groups and mission area working groups, MAWG, that are led by a chairperson who is responsible for conducting group activities, coordinating the discussion agenda, and consolidating group concerns.
During these working groups, discussion includes; improvement proposals, tactics review board, TRB, inputs, and acquisition prioritization recommendations that lead to defining a prioritized critical capability gap list.
The working group’s prioritized critical capability gap lists, serve as the starting point for ARC testing and acquisition strategies.
Each chairperson will also outbrief senior ARC leadership at the end of WEPTAC with a technology requirement or tactics improvement proposal that directly ties in with the WEPTAC theme.
Lt. Gen. Scott Rice, Director of the Air National Guard, and Lt. Gen. Richard Scobee, Chief of the Air Force Reserve, attend the closing ceremony for WEPTAC 2019 at Morris Air National Guard Base Tucson, Ariz.
The presence and support of command leadership highlights the importance of WEPTAC and how the ARC utilize innovation to ensure US Air Force dominance.
