A portion of the Directorate of Personnel here will realign under the Air Force Personnel Center on May 1, but no one outside the directorate should notice any difference.

The realignment is part of an initiative to create AFPC "operating locations" at the Air Force's five large civilian centers, one of which is Robins. It will affect employees in staffing support services, who handle recruitment, hiring and reassignments.

The only people who will be affected are the 72 people in the directorate, who will now answer to AFPC. "The average person out there applying for a job is really not going to notice any difference," said Emma Harrison, chief of the Directorate of Personnel staffing branch.

She also said managers will still contact the same people here when they are seeking to fill positions. The change is directed by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure commission. Originally the staff here was supposed to transfer to AFPC but that was changed.

"AFPC will continue to work jointly with Air Force Materiel Command and the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center on the transition of civilian personnel staffing workload to the operating location," said Michelle LoweSolis, the AFPC civilian force integration director. "The operating location will report to AFPC leadership while meeting the mission requirements of Robins."

In addition to the Robins OL, AFPC officials have activated operating locations at Hill AFB, Utah, Tinker AFB, Okla., and the Air Force District of Washington. They will activate the one additional OL at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, July 1.
