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


What We Need From
Commanders & 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
