With strength levels still higher than authorized by Congress, the Air Force is expanding its force management measures. The service already has in place a package of incentives to encourage airmen to either retire or separate by Sept. 1. Under the expansion, the Air Force is willing to waive active-duty service commitments in targeted year groups and education and scholarship recoupment costs for officers. Plans also call for a selective early retirement board (SERB) to convene July 19-23, to consider colonels with four or more years in grade and lieutenant colonels who have been passed over for promotion at least twice. Officers selected by the SERB must retire by Jan. 1, 2011. For enlisteds, the Air Force will waive time-in-grade and active-duty service commitments (ADSCs) for non-critical, overage skills, and waive as much as two years of four- and six-year enlistment commitments. The service will particularly focus on airmen with fewer than 14 years or more than 20 years of service who have declined or failed training, declined retainability for assignment, or have less-than-satisfactory service records. Other factors also could weigh in to deciding which officers and enlisteds must separate.
