Air Force announces force structure realignments

  • Published
Robins will gain five military and 62 civilian positions in the Air Force's proposed Fiscal Year 2011 Force Structure Realignment, which was announced Tuesday.

The proposal provides a summary of civilian and military personnel changes and aircraft assignments at all Air Force installations for the upcoming fiscal year. Proposed personnel changes will affect 2,450 active duty, 9,200 civilian, 1,300 Air Force Reserve and 220 Air National Guard positions across the services.

"The Air Force continues to support new and emerging missions while making every effort to remedy the stress experienced by critically-manned career fields," said Gen. Norton Schwartz, Air Force chief of staff. "This realignment emphasizes the strength and synergy of the total force -- active duty, Air National Guard and Reserve - by putting the right skills in the right place."

"These initiatives will continue to make more efficient use of Air Force resources and savings to the American taxpayer over the long term," Schwartz added.

At Robins, the 330th Aircraft Sustainment Wing will see the largest change; it will gain 30 civilian positions as part of the "Air Force Acquisition Excellence realignments," and a number of military positions to support the U-2 program.

The remaining positions are spread across the installation, from the Warner Robins Air Logistics Center to Air Force Reserve Command Headquarters.
