From the 170 positions, 135 are slated to realign from Air Force Materiel Command’s four Interim Personnel Centers, or IPCs. Realignment has been pro grammed for fiscal 2011 to accomplish centralized workloads. Within AFMC, it will involve positions at IPCs located at Hill AFB, Utah; Robins AFB (exactly how many positions for Robins was unknown as of Thursday, accord ing to WR-ALC Public Affairs media chief John Birdsong); Tinker AFB, Okla.; and Wright- Patterson AFB. The Air Force also will realign posi tions from Bolling AFB, D.C. The Base Realignment and Closure Commission directed the Air Force to centralize some AFMC civilian personnel servicing functions at AFPC.

The Air Force began consolidating civilian per sonnel services to AFPC in 1996 in response to the DOD-mandated regional ization of civilian personnel operations. The Air Force provides a full range of per sonnel services for approxi mately 85,000 civilians and limited services for approx imately 140,000 employees Air Force-wide. According to Roger Blanchard, assistant deputy chief of staff for Manpower and Personnel at Headquarters U.S. Air Force, the service is approaching the imple mentation of the BRAC language in the context of the larger things that are happening to the Air Force across the institution. “That means that we’re going to do this in a way that helps ,the Air Force recapitalize and balance its portfolio,” Mr. Blanchard said. “We’re going to do this in a way that respects and preserves the mission capability of critical IPC institutions. We’re going to do it in a way that is deliberate, systematic, and we’re not going to rush to judgment.” Mr. Blanchard, along with Barbara Westgate, PL’s FASHIONS Urban Apparel, PHILLIP COPELAND, OWNER Store Hrs.: 1 l:00am-8:00pm M-Th, ll:00am-9:00pmF-S Located Behind Lumpkin Shell 1423-0 Houston Lake Dr. Perry, GA 31069 Phone: (478) 988-8548 3l 36695 H HnAL ** 0 & Join Houston Healthcare... for this annual event , offering health screenings and information for the entire family.

The steering group will include participation from a com mander at one of AFMC’s three air logistics centers, a senior level representative from a customer command and the executive director of the Air Force Personnel Center. The steering group will define the required level of service for review and approval by Gen. Bruce Carlson, AFMC com mander, and Lt. Gen. Roger Brady, deputy chief of staff, Manpower and Personnel. SLA efforts will position the Air Force to implement consolidation efforts mean ingfully, efficiently and without degrading mission capability, officials said. According to Mrs. Westgate, it’s important to understand what transac tional services can move to Randolph AFB versus those non-transactional activities that should be done locally. “Our working group has the experience needed to make that determina tion,” Mrs. Westgate said. “General Carlson is not going to let any servicing resources leave until we’re sure our core mission will be supported adequately.” (Courtesy of Air Force Materiel Command Public Affairs)
