AFPC 'operating location' headed to Robins Published March 19, 2010 By Wayne Crenshaw 78 ABW/PA ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- Portions of the Directorate of Personnel here will realign under the Air Force Personnel Center in early May, but most people probably won't notice much 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, such as recruitment, hiring and reassignments. Mary Larralde, director of personnel at Robins, said those personnel will answer directly to the AFPC. However, the employees will remain "integrated and fully engaged" with the Directorate of Personnel. "It should be fairly transparent to the customers," Larralde said. "The people will remain in place. Their jobs will not change. They will (simply) have a different reporting structure."
