The Air Force wants to have 85 percent of personnel transactions by airmen conducted via the Web—no more treks to the local personnel office. To help enable this wonderful new world, the Air Force plans to reorganize base personnel functions under an initiative called PSD, or Personnel Services Delivery. McConnell AFB, Kan., will be testing PSD for about six months. What’s it all about? For starters, some squadrons will become flights; family support centers will become airmen and family readiness flights; and force development flights will comprise career assistance advisors, PME and other education, and first-term airman centers.
A recent injection of $475 million has reversed delayed delivery timelines for the Pentagon’s hypersonic missile interceptor by several years, Air Force Lt. Gen. Heath Collins, director of the Missile Defense Agency, told congressional leaders in an April 15 hearing.
