Published Jan. 28, 2010

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass. -- Electronic Systems Center Commander Lt. Gen. Ted Bowlds unveiled his 2010 Commander's Intent during his Jan. 27 'State of ESC' address. It is as follows:

· "I expect a seamless transition to the new PEO structure with a continued focus on program execution to meet customer expectations.

· I expect ESC to execute as an enterprise while maintaining a culture of compliance:

- I want Center Functionals postured to successfully support.

- I want standard processes (acquisition and non-acquisition) defined and followed while continuously looking for opportunities to streamline/improve how these processes are locally implemented.

· I expect ESC to achieve workforce management targets -- orientation, training, developing, mentoring, and rewarding -- and continue upon our hiring success with a focus on transitioning new employees into the work environment.

· I expect ESC to operate in an agile acquisition construct -- identifying and utilizing key processes to rapidly deliver capability to meet end-user requirements.

· I expect everyone to build upon the Year of the Air Force Family and, at all levels, focus on and support the components of being a good Wingman."
