n It’s a Force Multiplier
n Ensures continuity of operations
n Provides basis for policies, plans, operations, and personnel
n Protects legal and financial rights of USAF, members, and public
n Ensures availability of information for re-use
n Enables accounting of USAF’s activities to the general public
Failure could lead to safety incident by not properly documenting procedures, mission could be delayed due to lack of information
Ultimately, poor records management can lead to mission degradation!
