. The center will spearhead the development and application of negotiation, collaboration, and problem-solving skills throughout the Air Force.

"More and more, negotiation training is important in the preparation of today's military leadership," said Maj. Gen. Robert J. "Bob" Elder Jr., Air War College commandant and Air University vice commander. "Negotiation skills are now a crucial part of the military's skill set."

As the center evolves, the Air Force will be able to refine a negotiation model that allows users to analyze negotiations as a distinct and manageable set of separately identifiable components. This model will give Air University students a tool to better understand, prepare, conduct, and evaluate negotiations of all types.

Having a common negotiation framework will also enable negotiation knowledge, techniques, and results to be organized, taught, and shared throughout the Air Force. This common framework allows the Air Force to learn from its negotiations--in essence, to develop and benefit from a corporate memory.
