The USAF is experiencing a widespread retention problem. Although the pilot shortage has been the most publicized issue, the USAF is suffering retention problems in 49 other career fields. Understanding why these Airmen chose to leave has confounded USAF senior leaders for years. Surveys, interviews, and climate assessments aimed at exposing the underlying factors driving poor retention have revealed high administrative and additional duty workloads, under-manning, decreased readiness, a...

A US Air Force (USAF) dataset containing 6 attributes and over 400,000 funded authorizations (paid workforce positions) is analyzed for significant manning relationships among 12 Service Core Functions (SCFs) and 32 functional areas. The authorizations are collapsed into 375 groups of 32 functional equities ranging from Acquisitions to Weather career fields. The SCFs are managed by 7 Core Function Leads (CFLs) who are typically Major Command (MAJCOM) commanders. Logistic fit analyses via...

For aircraft rescue firefighting response USAF uses a fleet of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) ( 1,100 psi) fire trucks that are effective in extinguishing Class B fuel fires. As most fires extinguished by USAF firefighters involve structures, this study evaluated UHP technology responding to a room-and-contents structural fire. 3 response components were evaluated: extinguishment performance, hydraulic ventilation, and effort to deploy fire hoses. 30 fire tests were conducted in a 12-by-18-ft...

Food allergies are complex, multifactorial traits that pose great risk to health and operational success. Latent food allergies could manifest catastrophic outcomes during missions, resulting in potential failure and loss of life. Understanding an individuals risk of developing severe allergies is one of many components that can make up a high-quality surveillance and public health/preventive medicine program.

This study examines the Air Force ICBM operators, missileers, and their evolution from the 1950s to 2017. The Air Force has long struggled to embrace and share the story of the missileer and the ballistic missile mission. Rather than provide yet another study on nuclear strategy, proliferation, and deterrence, this paper serves to show how technology, organizational structures, and personnel and mission challenges have influenced missileers as a corps of nuclear professionals for 60 years. The...

Airmen, embodied with the global perspective natural to the speed and range of airpower, have much to contribute through leadership at the highest levels of joint command. This quote comes from the Air Forces Current Chief of Staff, General Goldfein, in his second focus area paper. The spirit of this line is exactly what the Air Force needs to embrace. It maintains the forward-thinking momentum for which the Air Force is known while repositioning the service in the center of the joint fight.

The United States Air Force (USAF) currently has a manning crisis in the pilot, maintenance, and intelligence officer career fields, among several other career fields in the USAF operations and operations support career fields. The USAF leadership has clearly identified these career fields as the priority for accessing and retaining officers. Yet, the USAF officer career fields have a manning priority imbalance between the USAF mission operations and operations support positions, and the...

The AFs retention of female operators is at the forefront of its personnel issues. So far, the research on the retention of females in operations has focused on a multitude of survey analyses noting challenges in the difficulty of balancing a career and family, gender bias, and geographic instability. Although the AF has attempted to resolve some of these issues, it has not yet found success. This paper argues that the AF can improve the retention of female operators by addressing the problem...

Officer development is critical to ensuring the United States Air Force will meet the growing demands of the future joint force. The current officer development structure is driven by the assignment process and promotion requirements. Although there are merits to the existing officer development structure, it lacks the development focus to adequately prepare the next generation of leaders to maintain AF mission alignment with the evolving needs of the COCOMs.

The Air Force is not drawing upon its full talent pool for leadership in its most senior positions. This also has another negative affect of creating a general officer cohort that severely lacks diversity. Active duty general officer statistics bear out that the group is 94% white and only 7% female as opposed to the overall Air Force population that is 72% white and 20% female. While more diverse than in the past in terms of Air Force Specialty Code, the general officer cohort is 58% pilot...
