Serving as the innovation center for the entire installation and mission support community, ideas come to the team through a variety of ways, including the annual AFIMSC Innovation Rodeo.

“We’re moving much-needed innovative ideas forward, working with key stakeholders and seeing projects come to life.” “It’s pretty great to be a part of innovation full time,” said Emilie Miller, one of the project managers. Nearly 90% of project funding, however, comes from other government and industry sources. The office, composed of three project managers, stood up with a budget of $1 million. The team combines strong government and industry partnerships with a knack for navigating contract, acquisition and funding programs to take ideas from conception and development to testing and implementation. “Their work is helping families get better support and giving commanders tools to deliver faster, leaner and more lethal operations.' Lance Clark, director of AFIMSC’s Expeditionary Support and Innovation Directorate.

“Our innovation team knows how to cut through bureaucracy, forging partnerships between industry and our Airmen and Guardians to deliver innovative solutions, including sourcing the funding to turn concepts into capabilities,” said Col. They have several more innovations in various stages of design. The team has fully developed a dozen of those ideas, ranging from software and mobile applications to equipment modifications and quality-of-life projects. Since its inception in November 2018, the center’s Ventures innovation office has helped Airmen land $70 million in funding to pursue ideas for delivering better, faster installation and mission support.
