AEF Center moves to AFPC Published June 22, 2007 By Paige Hughes Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs Office RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The Air and Space Expeditionary Force Center will move personnel to the Air Force Personnel Center here. The AEF Center, located at Langley Air Force Base, Va., became a direct reporting unit of AFPC on Aug. 4, 2006. "AFPC is leading the charge to better personnel services for Airmen - from personnel services transformation, to AFPC's 24/7 call center, to integrated programs," said Maj. Gen. Tony Przybyslawski, AFPC commander. "This initiative completes the 'people' circle. Assignment teams will have visibility into the warfighter requirements from home station to the front lines." The move will take place over a period of 18 months and is expected to be complete by September 2008. The AEF Center employs approximately 220 personnel. One hundred and twenty are military members including Guard and Reserve, and about 100 are civilian contractors. The AEF Center executes the Air Force battle rhythm and is the reachback enabler that plans and delivers versatile air and space power to Air Force commanders around the world. Combining the AEF Center and AFPC synergized and focused operations by bringing together permanent authorizations, wartime requirements and assignments under a single commander. Moving the AEF Center to AFPC will enhance execution of the Air Force battle rhythm and better deliver air and space power to the combatant commanders, said the general. The new construct allows the Personnel Center to ensure warfighting commanders in the field and combatant commander have the right Airmen at the right place at the right time. In addition, AEF rotations will be worked with assignment personnel working the home station requirements.
