Program: Headquarters Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) Perspective: Infrastructure Investment Trajectory
Presenter: Maj Gen Mark Slominski, P.E., Mobilization Assistant to the Commander, Air Force Materiel Command
Maj Gen Slominski, will provide a Headquarters AFMC perspective on the Air Force’s evolving infrastructure priorities. His remarks will focus on the Department of the Air Force’s accelerated investment in installation resilience and infrastructure modernization—initiatives driven by recent legislative and strategic directives, including provisions outlined in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and now codified in 10 U.S. Code § 2864, which mandates a phased increase in defense facility investment to reach a minimum of 4% of Plant Replacement Value (PRV) by FY2030.AFMC, with a portfolio exceeding $110 billion in PRV, is leading the way in operationalizing these directives through the Installation Investment Action Plan (I2AP)—a comprehensive, mission-focused strategy initiated by the Air Force Civil Engineer. The I2AP provides both the strategic vision and actionable framework to align infrastructure investment with mission readiness and future force needs.
Maj Gen Slominski will elaborate on AFMC’s role in implementing the I2AP, emphasizing its three core lines of effort:
- Mission Alignment – Ensuring installations are strategically aligned with evolving warfighting requirements and operational imperatives.
- Right-Sizing Infrastructure – Rationalizing and optimizing the built environment to reduce excess capacity and improve efficiency.
- Enhancing Resilience – Tailoring infrastructure investments to improve survivability, adaptability, and supportability across a range of contested environments.
The end-state of the I2AP is clear: to deliver mission-aligned, right-sized, and resilient installations that are resourced and postured to enable combat power projection, sustainment, and operational agility in an era of great power competition.
Maj Gen Slomenski’s insights will underscore how AFMC is translating congressional direction and Department-level strategy into installation-level action—ensuring our bases are not only ready for today’s missions, but built to prevail in the future fight.
