The Air Force Personnel Center is consolidating its civilian personnel management into one operation—the better to serve the civilian workforce, said AFPC officials. They plan to merge the directorates of civilian employment and civilian force management and the civilian field operations branch into the directorate of civilian force integration. Officials expect to begin operations with the new directorate in July. Until then—and perhaps longer—AFPC will keep current contact processes in place.
United Launch Alliance’s new Vulcan Centaur rocket is slated to fly its second national security mission in February—nearly six months after its first operational launch and almost a year after it was certified to fly military payloads for the Space Force.
