Manpower and Personnel Roadmap
Manpower and Personnel Roadmap
OPR: AMC/A1
MAF Capability Statement
Provide the capability to define, shape, develop, and sustain air mobility forces to deliver Global
Reach options to the combatant commander, thereby ensuring the right people, to the right place, at
the right time, along with the Manpower and Personnel services to support them, across the range of
military operations and in all operating environments.
Roadmap Assessment
The AMC Manpower and Personnel community is partnering with MAF commanders to solve human
capital issues so the MAF can be prepared to accomplish its missions. Since many manpower and
personnel issues impacting the MAF are not directly controlled by the command, it is critical that
AMC clearly identifies and communicates its human capital needs to decision makers at higher
headquarters, ensuring MAF Manpower and Personnel issues are adequately addressed. AMC is
working to ensure its MAF Manpower and Personnel Services provide the command’s number
one resource, “Our People,” the technical skills, knowledge, and experience they need to perform
their duties, while at home and deployed, including operations in the Joint environment. Through
education and training, AMC is committed to providing MAF personnel every opportunity to excel in
their respective careers. This commitment extends to the MAF “Total Force,” including active duty
officer, enlisted, Guard, Reserve, and civilian workforce.
Approaches
In support of the Air Force Manpower and Personnel Roadmap, AMC is taking a five-prong approach
to ensure that, when called upon, the MAF can provide combatant commanders the right people, to the
right place, at the right time, both now and in the future. AMC’s approach is described below:
Define the Force: MAF manpower requirements must be accurately defined and programmed as
well as have optimally designed MAF organizations, resulting from adhering to disciplined manpower
methodologies and an integrated planning, programming, budgeting and execution (PPBE) process
that adequately addresses MAF Manpower and Personnel issues.
Shape the Force: The MAF “Total Force” is sourced and shaped to match defined skills,
competencies, and grades with capabilities-based Expeditionary Aerospace Force requirements that
support MAF operations and the combatant commands.
Develop the Force: The right combination of learning experiences is essential—accession,
training, education and experience—which deliberately develops the MAF “Total Force” with AFand
MAF-required competencies.
Sustain the Force: A ready MAF “Total Force” that internalizes AF Core Values and whose
basic physical, moral, and family needs are sustained is cardinal.
Deliver Airman (Active Duty Officer, Enlisted, Guard, Reserve, and Civilian) Capability
and Personnel Services: A MAF Manpower and Personnel system must accurately account for every
Airman to ensure the right person is readily available for delivery to combatant commanders at the right
place and time, and that AMC effectively delivers timely services to every member of the MAF family.
