Team AFPC is a Total Force team—active duty, Reserve, Guard, civilians, and contractors—comprised of approximately 2,300 dedicated employees, operating in eight directorates and several special staff agencies.
The Directorate of Technology and Information (DPO) is the technology arm of AFPC. This directorate enables Digital Transformation through Enterprise Architecture services, requirements management, application configuration, AFPC IT asset management, and data visualization services for AFPC and key DAF stakeholders.
The Directorate of Military Sustainment and Support (DPS) provides direct personnel services spanning the full spectrum of Air Force personnel programs to support Airmen, Guardians, civilian employees and their families. The directorate operates most customers’ initial interaction with AFPC via Total Force Service Center – a 24/7 customer service center that provides routine, repeatable and transactional support through knowledge management, customer contact, and field agency support elements in a responsive, interactive manner.
The Directorate of Military Assignments and Force Generation (DPM) interprets, implements and executes policies and procedures for military personnel assignments, force generation and officer development education across the Air Force Enterprise. In addition to serving as AFPC’s liaison to the Air Force and its components, the Department of War and its agencies, the Federal Government, and industry, DPM collaborates with other AFPC directorates on military talent management initiatives in line with SECAF Total Force initiatives.
The Directorate of Civilian Personnel Mission (DPC) executes policies and procedures for Department of the Air Force civilian personnel programs while fostering strategic partnerships and driving efficiency. This directorate provides centralized civilian classification services to commanders, directors, civilian personnel flights, managers, supervisors, and employees.
The Directorate of Civilian Talent Readiness (DPZ) empowers the future of Air Force civilian talent through strategic acquisition, immersive internships, and continuous training and development. Additionally, the directorate fosters excellence across functional communities, ensuring an optimized and resilient workforce equipped to meet evolving challenges and drive mission readiness and lethality.
The Directorate of Military and Family Care (DPF) provides care and operational support to active duty, Reserve, Guard, civilians, retirees, and their respective families. This directorate oversees and implements Military and Family Readiness programs, Integrated Resiliency (including sexual assault, suicide, and interpersonal violence prevention initiatives), the Exceptional Assignment Program, Retiree Services, the Air Force Disability Program, Medical Continuation, Casualty and Missing Persons, and the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program.
The Directorate of Staff (DS) is responsible for infrastructure and sustainment, enterprise information management, security, safety, and facilities support for AFPC personnel. It also provides workforce requirements and human capital management to include civilian human resources, manpower, and organizational analysis. Additionally, this directorate centrally manages Air Force surveys, strategic research and assessment, and the retrieval and analysis of data from Air Force Personnel Systems, as requested.
The Directorate of Strategic Alignment and Messaging (CM) manages all matters relating to internal and external communications, public outreach, institutional identity and reputation, communication planning, and other related activities. This directorate is responsible for the Public Affairs and History programs that inform global audiences about personnel programs and policies, in addition to HHQ task management, special projects, speech writing, briefing development, distinguished visitor reception and conference organization through the Commander’s Action Group.
While not an AFPC directorate, but a vital mission partner is the Selection Board Secretariat. The PB, as it is more commonly known, administers Department of the Air Force officer and senior NCO selection boards to include pre-board and post-board support, officer promotion boards to the ranks of Captain through Major General, Master Sergeant, Senior Master Sergeant and Chief Master Sergeant evaluation, Air National Guard federal recognition, selective early retirement, reduction-in-force, retention and special boards, as required.
The Special Staff Agencies advise the AFPC commander and staff through the Financial Management, Judge Advocate, Inspector General, Orderly Room, and Command Section Information Management functions, as well as the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve advisors.
