Tinker, AFMC Gain Workforce Positions in 2009 Force Structure Adjustment Published June 26, 2009 By Tinker Public Affairs/AFMC Public Affairs TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- Tinker Air Force Base and Air Force Materiel Command will gain significant manpower as a result of Air Force adjustments aimed at providing unsurpassed Global Vigilance, Global Reach and Global Power. The 2009 Force Structure Announcement, just released, shows Tinker gaining 250 military and civilian positions with AFMC gaining an overall total of 1,388 workforce positions through the end of FY 2009. The additional manpower will help Tinker and AFMC support the Air Force mission to fly, fight and win in air, space and cyberspace - today and in the future within available resources. "The overall gains in the Tinker workforce will help us balance skill sets across our core functions while also enhancing our ability to support changing and emerging missions," said Colonel Allen Jamerson, 72nd Air Base Wing and Installation commander. AFMC delivers war-winning expeditionary capabilities to the warfighter through development and transition of technology, professional acquisition management, exacting test and evaluation, and world-class sustainment of all Air Force weapon systems. Gains and losses for command units give AFMC more than 170 additional active duty authorizations and more than 1200 additional civilian authorizations. Adjustments are a result of Air Force efforts to make the nuclear enterprise more robust, bring key work back under internal Air Force control, and restructure combat air forces. Other drivers included efforts to improve emphasis on acquisition excellence, better support program management functions, beef up depot sustainment forces, increase support to unit commanders, deactivate two units and bolster support for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Capabilities. There were also small changes to aircraft authorizations for a couple of the command's units.
