The Air Force has embarked on a one-year test at Tinker AFB, Okla., to manage civilian personnel staffing from the Air Force Personnel Center in San Antonio. Tinker, as home to one of USAF’s three Air Logistics Centers, has a large civilian workforce, making it an ideal guinea pig. The Air Force Audit Agency will measure AFPC’s timeliness and ability to provide good customer service. Driving the effort is BRAC 2005, which directed the Air Force to consolidate some personnel services at AFPC.
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
