1. INFORMATION PROTECTION (IP)
Our security workforce is integral to ensuring cutting-edge technology and sensitive information that supports our warfighters is kept out of the hands of our adversaries. IP includes all facets of security activities ranging from information, personnel, industrial security, acquisition, internal programs, operations, and scientific and technical information programs and program protection planning.
2. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)
Our IT workforce ensures security of policy and planning, enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, application software, systems, network services, data management, systems administration, customer support, and IT program/project management supporting the development, implementation, and maintenance of Air Force enterprise-wide systems.
3. SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
Engineering professionals play a central role in maintaining the U.S. Air Force’s superiority by ensuring air, space, and cyber forces have superior Air Force intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, precision engagement, and electronic warfare systems capabilities by developing, demonstrating, and transitioning advanced sensors and sensing technologies. Engineering professionals are relied upon to provide superior technical recommendations and decisions that directly contribute to our national defense.
COMPUTER SCIENTISTS
Our Airmen own the skies. But they don’t do it alone. Thousands of dedicated civilian cyber professionals, software engineers, and computer scientists strive to ensure our Airmen have the most capable and advanced aircraft and equipment going. Whether it’s maintaining the sophisticated avionics and flight computers that control our next-generation aircraft, developing the software our military uses to complete its mission, or securing the interconnected digital networks that allow Airmen to instantly share data anywhere in the world, computer scientists and cyber professionals play a critical role in ensuring the Air Force’s edge is a sharp as it can be.
4. PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
Program Managers lead the creation of business strategies to design, develop, produce, test, deploy, and sustain every item in the U.S. Air Force’s inventory as well as the contracted services support that the warfighter depends on to maintain a competitive advantage. From inception to retirement, Program Management professionals oversee multi-discipline teams to ensure cost, schedule, and performance goals are achieved to meet operational needs.
5. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Our Financial Managers track and report funding for various acquisition programs and systems, executing over $300B of active year and foreign military sales funding. Our Cost Estimators work with integrated product teams to understand system/platform requirements and estimate the cost through the out-years, which then informs a budget that gets submitted to Congress or a Partner Nation for consideration of funding.
OPERATIONS RESEARCH ANALYSTS
While some in the Air Force drive aircraft and others drive innovation, it’s the job of Operations Research Analysts (ORAs) to drive the decisions that make everything else possible. They use mathematical and statistical techniques to analyze complex military problems and identify the best courses of action to achieve mission objectives. Their responsibilities include gathering and analyzing data, developing models and simulations, and presenting findings to military leaders. ORAs perform several crucial functions, from evaluating the effectiveness of weapons systems and optimizing supply-chain logistics to assessing the impact of new technologies, along with many other mission-critical duties.
6. CONTRACTING
Contract professionals support the Air Force, obligating over $35B by purchasing the equipment and services that Air Force men and women need in order to protect this great country. These purchases range from state-of-the-art aircraft and billion-dollar weapon systems to the night vision goggles and simulators that make the Air Force mission possible. Contract professionals negotiate contracts with the corporate giants of the defense industry, which puts you at the negotiating table with some of our top partners and competitors. Our goal is to obtain the greatest technologies possible to support the warfighter and do so at a price that is fair and reasonable to both the defense contractor and the American taxpayer.
7. LOGISTICS
Our agile Logistics workforce is capable of meeting the full spectrum of AFLCMC logistics requirements and is integrated into the Broad Logistics Enterprise. Logistics are involved in all phases of the Product/Acquisition Life Cycle to include: Design Interface; Sustaining Engineering; Supply Support; Maintenance Planning and Management; Packaging, Handling, Storage and Transportation (PHS&T); Technical Data; Support Equipment; Training and Training Support; Manpower and Personnel; Facilities and Infrastructure; Computer Resources; and Product Support Management.
