Airman's Roll Call highlights streamlined services

  • Published
SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  This week's Airman's Roll Call highlights the merging of services and mission support squadrons at six Air Force test bases to streamline processes, increase efficiencies, maximize customer service and cut costs associated with maintaining two separate organizations.

The new combined organizations are called force support squadrons and will further enhance support for Airmen while supporting the Air Force goal of recapitalizing and modernizing the aging fleet. 

During the test, officials are determining what services will be merged, collocated or will remain separate and distinct as either manpower, personnel or services entities.

The new squadrons will contain five flights -- force development, manpower and personnel, Airmen and family services, sustainment services, and community services. The Air Force will evaluate the test through surveys, analyses and site visits prior to Air Force-wide implementation scheduled to begin January 2008

Airman's Roll Call is designed for supervisors at all levels to help keep Airmen informed on current issues, clear up confusion, dispel rumors and provide additional face-to-face communication.
