Message from WR-ALC commander Published Nov. 2, 2011 By Maj. Gen. Robert McMahon ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Today the Air Force and Air Force Materiel Command announced a number of initiatives to help meet our current fiscal challenges. These changes are designed to help both the service and command reduce overhead, increase efficiency, and align their limited resources with their most important priorities. At Robins, the changes will mean the elimination of approximately 500 civilian authorizations across the Warner Robins Air Logistics and the Global Logistics Support centers. While these reductions are significant, about 96 percent of our workforce will not be directly affected by these changes. For those who will be affected, all personnel management options will be utilized to limit the impacts, including attrition through hiring controls and incentive opportunities where and when possible. It is essential that throughout this, we keep our focus on our core mission of providing World-Class Support to the warfighter. I realize there are many unanswered questions. Over the next few days, senior leadership will hold commanders' calls to share the most up-to-date information and respond to your questions.
