The European Office of Aerospace Research and Development (EOARD) provides an overview of its organization and activities. It has the largest technical staff of all the overseas research offices, with 6 program managers and 1 technical director covering various science areas. It also has local support staff and runs a 'base' with 100 tenant organizations. The EOARD has a rich history of 60 years supporting science. It finds good science, helps the Air Force work in Europe, and builds relationships. Possible refinements to its strategy include prioritizing science, filling gaps in the continental US, and planning for leadership and portfolio transitions.

9. Current EOARD Strategy
• In summary:
• Find good science; help the AF work in
Europe; build relationships
• Possible refinements
• Prioritize the science? Fill CONUS gaps?
• What are realistic timelines? When do we get
out of a field? When do we get in?
• How do we transition portfolios when PMs
leave?
• Diplomacy role?
Overseas research is growing, AF resources are shrinking—how do we
respond?

10. After 60 years, some proposed changes…
International Science
Office (ISO)
Tokyo London Santiago Arlington
• ISO is belly button for all overseas 6.1 research
• One strategy drives science, personnel, and business
• AOR barriers are softened; collaborations are planned
• Keep overseas presence but consolidate business ops
• ISO partners with Chief Technology Officer to cover all AF 6.1 research internationally
• ISO partners with AFRL TDs to cover AFRL international basic research interests.
• New organization is more than cost cutting; it will improve overall international
engagement strategy and will bring more value to the AF

12. Strategy
"plan for the coordinated use of all the instruments of state power to pursue objectives that protect and promote the
national interest."1 The objectives, or output, of a successful foreign policy strategy must be crafted such that their
achievement creates a strategic effect that supports a designated national interest. A strategy that achieves its given
objectives but fails to support the associated national interest is at best a waste of resources and national power and at
worst a threat to the national security of the country.
Formulation of effective foreign policy strategy is a complex undertaking. As Deibel points out,
"The heart of the strategist's work is to see clearly the extraordinarily complex interrelationships among the elements of
strategy."2 Unfortunately, before strategists can begin to contemplate the ends, ways, means, and national interests
described above, they must first assess their assumptions regarding the strategic environment, for it is these
assumptions that identify the threats, opportunities, and values that define interests, and also the extent and availability
of resources (power) needed to achieve objectives.
Put another way, strategy built on flawed assumptions is doomed to failure.
