A planned Air Force headquarters reorganization would result in cutting more than 20 percent of the civilian and military personnel who now work within the organization. Outlining the anticipated change in a July 19 announcement, the Air Force said some headquarters organizations would be either deactivated or realigned, in an effort to “eliminate redundant activities and improve effectiveness and business processes.” The service would save $1.6 billion during the next five years. Civilians would be offered Voluntary Early Retirement Authority and Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay, while service members could accept one of any number of voluntary incentives to leave the Air Force. Ideally, the service would like to initiate most of the cuts in the first of the five years Congress designated. Plans call for centralization of policy, oversight of installation and mission support activities under the new Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center, under the Air Force Materiel Command umbrella. Plans also call for splitting Operations, Plans and Requirements and Strategic Plans and Programs into a new, stand-alone Operations organization. Other changes would move responsibility for the Air Force Intelligence and Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency to Air Combat Command, from headquarters, and realign the Air Force ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) Agency to the 25th Air Force.
