The AFPP's mission is to deliver the commitments made in SDSR. Its vision is to create "a modern &inclusive AF which attracts, retains & values its people, in order to enhance operational capability, offering choice as to how they live & work providing a comprehensive & sustainable reward package that recognises commitments & service"
