Additional Force Management ProgramsExecutive Brief 100 FSS/CC 16 Dec 13
Setting the Stage • Situation • Retention of highly qualified Airmen in our AF remains high • Current fiscal environment creates number of uncertainties for the DoD • Budget constraints led to personnel reductions & force structure changes • Goals • Provide Airmen information and time to make informed decisions • Operate within funding constraints and authorized end strength • Strategy • Size and shape the force for today and the future • Modernize personnel policies via performance-based emphasis • Approach • Voluntary programs to the maximum extent possible • Focus on retaining high performing Airmen while reducing overages Generally, Airmen in projected overage populations by AFSC and grade or year group will be eligible for voluntary and/or involuntary programs
Strategic Messaging • Fiscal constraints create uncertainty for AF, however we must empower our Airmen to make informed decisions • Job performance is and will continue to be priority #1 • As AF becomes smaller, it is even more important to retain high performing Airmen • We are shifting force mgmt programs from longevity- to performance-based • We will use all available force management tools • Voluntary programs first • Airmen in projected overage populations by AFSC and grade or year group will be eligible for voluntary programs • Monetary incentives available for non-retirement eligible Airmen w/6+ years of service • Airmen notified 6 months prior to involuntary consideration • Ret/Sep on 1st day of 4th month after involuntary board results released • Transitional benefits afforded to separating/retiring Airmen

What We Need FromCommanders & Senior Leaders • Difficult challenges require hard decisions • Equip Airmen with information and time to make informed decisions • Dedicate time to discuss options with each affected Airman • Conduct records review and provide honest feedback • Clearly communicate CC retention recommendations to boards via Retention Recommendation Form • Robust requirement for Board Members (Chiefs, Cols, & GOs) • 180+ board members needed Jun – Aug 2014 • Requests for relief should be the exception • Not an easy decision for anyone • Wingman support is paramount • Encourage eligible Airmen to start TAP now…don’t wait for board results • Use resources • Leverage Air Force, FSS & Installation resources • myPERS website: https://mypers.af.mil
