Funding & Budget
You have an innovative idea that will give Air Force Special Operations Forces (SOF) a significant competitive advantage in the joint operational environment for the next 15-20 years (You don’t need to discuss the idea, only how you might pay for it).
1) Explain how you will get this idea fielded using TWO scenarios.
The idea can be paid for within your component’s (Air Force) budget. You may need to talk to someone who is knowledgeable with your unit’s budget. Each unit and military component is different, so this is your chance to share how the Air Force’s 318th Special Operations Squadron operates.
The idea’s scope will require submission into the USSOCOM Special Operations Forces Capabilities Integration and Development System (SOFCIDS) process.
How would you go about initiating this process?
Here is a list of capability needs SOCOM is currently exploring (make sure you click on the tab on the right side of the page that interests you).
