Abstract
The Air Force is committed to the transformation process and bringing supply chain management into the 21st century. Directions for these efforts has been given by the Secretary of the Air Force and initiatives such as purchasing and supply chain management (PSCM), performance based logistics (PBL), and commodity councils are the means in transforming logistical support for the warfighter. Three path finder commodity councils have been formed to be the forerunners of the future state and in determining sourcing strategies.
