By the time John Drew was officially employed by RAND in 2003, he had already been working with researchers from Project AIR FORCE's Resource Management program for six years. That connection was first made in 1997, when John was superintendent of the Aircraft Maintenance and Munitions Division at the Air Force Logistics Management Agency (AFLMA) in Alabama. The U.S. Air Force was just beginning to develop the Expeditionary Air Force concept (now called the Air and Space Expeditionary Force), which centered on the ability to quickly project and employ combat forces worldwide and to sustain operations indefinitely. The success of this enterprise required an equally visionary approach to logistical support. AFLMA and PAF formed a strategic partnership to address the emerging challenges and, over several years, designed a global system now known as Agile Combat Support. John was AFLMA’s point person for this task, and he worked with a PAF research team led by Bob Tripp, who had also had an Air Force career.
