DELIVER AIRPOWER: Deliver full-spectrum Air Component capabilities in air, space, and cyberspace. In a proactive and responsible manner, we will employ airpower in the right place, at the right time to promote security and stability in the region, to degrade and defeat violent extremists, to counter malign state influences, and to address any contingency in the USCENTCOM area of responsibility.
DEFEND THE REGION: From national and regional interests to the individual member within our command, we must remain ever vigilant and resilient our defense. It is imperative we aggressively plan, prepare, and present executable options while standing ready to lead or support USCENTCOM contingency operations. Taking the steps to defend critical command and control elements and base infrastructure against traditional and asymmetric threats is paramount. Finally and most importantly, we must defend and protect each and every member from our joint, coalition, and interagency team-our success depends on creating an environment where all can achieve their full potential.
DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS: Continuously collaborate with our partners to strengthen integrated air and missile defense capabilities across the region, prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and maintain a credible deterrent capability in the region. Support and advance whole-of government approaches to regional and trans-regional issues by developing and advancing coalition, joint, interagency, and cross-command partnerships and relationships.
