Air Force Institutional Requirements: Opportunities for Improving the Efficiency of Sourcing, Managing, and Manning Corporate Requirements
Abstract
In an era of force reductions and shrinking military budgets, core U.S. Air Force career field managers and personnel continue to feel the effects of prolonged undermanning. Most career field managers are unable to fully man their associated authorizations and are acutely aware of additional requirements that further reduce their available manpower pool. One significant source of these additional requirements is institutional requirements (IRs). IRs are valid, funded manpower requirements that do not align with a traditional, functional career field but are needed to support the Air Force institution positions such as recruiters, instructors at accession sources, and generalist staff officers. In general, officers from any career field can fill an IR position, though there are exceptions for some IR positions with unique educational or experiential requirements.
