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.
Air Force Gen. Alexus G. Grynkewich assumed command of U.S. European Command on July 1, taking over the key assignment as the U.S. and its allies contend with a resurgent Russia and a grinding war in Ukraine.
