Lt. Gen. Jason Voorheis, Commander of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center and Lead for Portfolio Acquisition Executive Implementation for the War Department, joins WarU host Mike Roche for a candid conversation about the Department’s new approach to portfolio acquisition management and the evolving Portfolio Acquisition Executive structure.
The Acquisition Transformation Strategy calls for moving beyond isolated, program-centric management toward empowered portfolios that align requirements, resources, acquisition decisions, and technical expertise around mission outcomes. The PAE model is designed to flatten decision chains, enable faster tradeoffs, and strengthen accountability for delivering integrated capabilities at speed and scale.
Hear directly from Lt Gen Voorheis about what it means to manage acquisition as a portfolio, how authorities and accountability are shifting, and how integrated teams can make faster decisions across the capability lifecycle. He will also address where implementation is gaining traction, where constraints remain, and what acquisition professionals should understand as the new structure takes shape.
Join us for an unfiltered look at how portfolio acquisition management is changing the way the Department organizes, empowers, and holds acquisition leaders accountable—and what that shift means for delivering capability to the warfighter faster.
