"The Task Force completed its information gathering in November 2010. The report was in security review from 17 Dec 2010 until 4 March 2011. This report is unclassified and cleared for public release"--P. 2.
Summary The Air Force leadership implemented extraordinary measures following two serious incidents in 2007 and 2008. These measures included policy, inspection, organization, and leadership changes. The report finds that these measures have been effective in their intended purpose of re-establishing the professionalism expected of personnel in the nuclear enterprise. While these measures were appropriate and effective, some are not sustainable or desirable for the long term. In addition to identifying the benefits of the extraordinary measures, the report provides a description of undesirable effects of continuing the extraordinary measures for the long term and makes recommendations on the path to continued assured professionalism in the Air Force nuclear enterprise. More specifically, the report discusses and provides recommendations in the areas of logistics, organization and guidance, the inspection regime, operations, personnel and morale, and the personnel reliability program.
