Purpose.

The Air Force Strategic Basing Process provides an enterprise-wide standardized, repeatable, transparent, and deliberate process for making Air Force strategic basing decisions. This instruction applies to all Air Force entities regardless of basing location and all non-Air Force entities requesting a basing action on Air Force real property. The process ensures all strategic basing actions involving Air Force units and associated missions follow environmental guidance, considers the overall fiscal ramifications of the proposed action, and optimizes use of Air Force land, facilities, infrastructure, and air space.
