The US Air Force in partnership with DOGE has revealed another glaring and egregious example of WASTE, THEFT and FRAUD in our federal government.
They partnered in reducing a wasteful program serviced by external consultants. The Air Force Strategic Transformation Support I (“AFSTS I”) was a $2.75B contract awarded to eight management consulting firms in 2020 to source “transformation Continuous Process Improvement (CPI), and organizational efficiency experts.”
This ceiling has been reduced to $1.918B, with the $832M of unobligated savings realized for taxpayers. In addition to deobligations, the team is descoping $175M, bringing the total savings of this initiative to greater than $1B.
As a part of the review, and under the leadership of the Secretary of Defense and the US Air Force, they have also rescinded the solicitation of AFSTS II (an extension of AFSTS I), which had a ceiling value of $3.8B.

To date, DOGE has estimated the savings to the American taxpayers at $170 billion, which includes a combination of asset sales, contract/lease cancellations and renegotiations, fraud and improper payment deletion, grant cancellations, interest savings, programmatic changes, regulatory savings, and workforce reductions.
The amount saved per taxpayer is $1,055.90 and is calculated using an estimate of 161 million individual federal taxpayers.
