AEF Center reassigned to Air Force Personnel Center

  • Published
WASHINGTON (AFPN) --  The Air and Space Expeditionary Force Center will be assigned under the Air Force Personnel Center at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley announced today.

The reassignment, which becomes effective Aug. 29, will synergize operations between the two centers and focus on operationalizing personnel by merging permanent authorizations, wartime requirements and assignments under a single commander.

"This merger will allow AFPC total visibility of Air Force requirements spanning home station to the front lines," said Lt. Gen. Roger A. Brady, Air Force deputy chief of staff, Manpower and Personnel. "The assignment process will have clearer vision into the true requirements and be able to set realistic priorities to execute assignment policy. We'll be able to better refine and target personnel policy and programs within our expeditionary force structure."

The AEFC's mission to execute the Air Force battle rhythm and deliver versatile air and space power will not change. Maj. Gen. Tony Przybyslawski, AFPC commander, understands the expeditionary culture, having been the commander of the AEFC prior to his arrival at AFPC.

"This will be a seamless transition," General Przybyslawski said, "because you don't get a second chance when it comes to supporting the warfighter."

"The AEF Center's continued focus has been on making the AEF better for our Airmen and the combatant commanders," said Col. Brian Kelly, AEFC commander. "Combined with AFPC's personnel expertise and worldwide data systems, it will allow our Air Force to better integrate total end-to-end warfighter support."
