The U.S. is engaged in strategic competition with the People’s Republic of China, and regional conflicts around the globe threaten to disrupt global security and upend the American way of life. To deter and/or counter these threats, ensure global security, and protect the American way of life, the Department of the Air Force must continue to attract, develop, retain, and field the best and brightest workforce our nation has to offer, in the most effective ways possible. The DAF workforce must be able to out-think, out-decide, out-produce, and out-perform our competitors; interact with and wield technologies more effectively than our enemies; and be better organized, better led, and better run than any military in the world.

To achieve and sustain this reality, the DAF needs strategies and policies that are executable, lasting, and reflective of the latest evidence in all relevant disciplines.

This is why OLEA exists—To help provide decision advantage in the human capital space. To reduce the amount of judgment required in strategic human capital decisions, by providing more evidence through research and analysis.
