Force Development Transformation

Abstract

The Force Development Transformation program contains two independent DAF initiatives addressing vital personnel issues: Personnel Services Delivery and the Total Integration Mobilization Execution System. Personnel Services Delivery: Personnel Services Delivery (PSD), under the Personnel Administration program, funds operational developments necessary to acquire, field, and modify business processes to transform the delivery of Human Resources (HR) capabilities through the structured redesign of the Total Force Personnel Community's people (Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, and Civilians), processes, and technologies. PSD Transformation fundamentally shifts the way personnel services are provided, transitioning from primarily face-to-face interactions with a personnelist to a tiered model with services delivered through online self-service, contact centers, and reduced in-person interactions. PSD supports the migration of legacy applications and other information technologies from on premises data centers to a more sustainable cloud-based hosting solution and flexible services-based architecture as defined by the Defense Enterprise Service Management Framework (DESMF). In addition, funds will be used to perform studies and innovative integration efforts for common technology capabilities such as cloud migration, technology development and mobile application. Total Integration Mobilization Execution System: The Total Integration Mobilization Execution System (TIMES) will be a cloud-based software suite utilized to modernize the Air Force's processes to mobilize (i.e., activate) Airmen under Title 10 orders in support of the Active Duty mission. Current mobilization processes include coordination through 32 disparate information systems and numerous databases (e.g., MS SharePoint, Excel) and often results in delays to issuing orders. TIMES will automate the Air Reserve Component's (ARC) activation processes to enable rapid and accurate information flow from first identifying an Airman to fulfill a requirement, through orders processing and delivery, to initiating pay and benefits. It will increase Air Force Guard and Reserve members' confidence that when called to serve, their families are taken care of. TIMES was approved as a new start via a FY20 reprogramming action. Due to no FY21 funding, TIMES Development is a FY22 new start request.
