"Today’s United States Air Force does not effectively manage its human capital to develop and retain a technically literate acquisitions workforce. A detailed look at the personnel development and career progression opportunities of the acquisitions workforce, especially the Flight Test Engineer community, illustrates this problem. Data presented illustrate the shift towards the Acquisition Management and away from Scientist and Engineer career fields as rank increases. Conversely, Flight Test Engineers are discouraged from branching into Acquisition Management despite the institutional bias in that direction. Several solutions are suggested to improve the human capital management and increase the quality and relevancy of the acquisitions community at large. These solutions range from reducing the emphasis on Air Force Specialty Code when selecting Materiel Leaders to developing a warrior ethos focused on growing warfighter capabilities within acquisition professionals. The challenges facing the United States Air Force, in this era of massive recapitalization of its aged and overworked fleet, require a technically literate and dedicated acquisitions community to provide capabilities for the warfighter in 2036 and beyond"--Abstract.

The USAir Force human capital management (HCM) system is not easily defined or mapped. It affects virtually every part of the Air Force because workforce policies, procedures, and processes impact all offices and organizations that include Airmen and responsibilities and relationships change regularly. To ensure the readiness of Airmen to fulfill the mission of the Air Force, strategic approaches are developed and issued through guidance and actions of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management assesses and strengthens the various U.S. Air Force initiatives and programs working to improve person-job match and human capital management in coordinated support of optimal mission capability. This report considers the opportunities and challenges associated with related interests and needs across the USAF HCM system as a whole, and makes recommendations to inform improvements to USAF personnel selection and classification and other critical system components across career trajectories. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management offers the Air Force a strategic approach, across a connected HCM system, to develop 21st century human capital capabilities essential for the success of 21st century Airmen.

"This research focuses on identifying barriers to better human capital management in the Air Force. Although the Air Force’s 2015 Strategic Master Plan includes an imperative to become a more agile, innovative force, the Service is still experiencing a significant recruiting and retention crisis, especially in high-demand areas such as intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and aviation. Bolman and Deal’s four-frame model is used to examine the Air Force’s cultural strengths and limitations from the structural, human resources, political, and symbolic perspectives. Growth opportunities and barriers are identified and analyzed based on current research in the fields of organizational design, psychology, economics, and business. It concludes with a discussion of how to create organizational change and presents the idea of prioritizing human capital management by viewing Airmen as the Air Force’s most important weapons system."--Abstract.

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) and the other military services have a long history of innovation in human resource management (HRM). The recent industry boom in data-related technologies has prompted USAF leaders to sponsor research on how these technologies could further improve HRM decisions. This report describes the common theme of this research portfolio, which is that adopting HRM practices that are technology-enabled could lead to more-effective talent management. Of course, technologies exist on a spectrum, and the USAF, like all other organizations, already rely on some technologies to perform HRM functions. However, by pursuing the latest technological advances, the USAF can continue to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of HRM processes. To help policymakers understand the contrast between technology-enabled practices and practices already in place that make use of rich data, this report describes industry practices that fit under the umbrella of technology-enabled talent management and presents a framework highlighting the distinctive features of those practices. The authors focus principally on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other analytic techniques to derive insight from data at speed and scale. The authors then present use cases in which recent research has demonstrated technology-enabled practices in the USAF context, discuss barriers to further implementation, and present an implementation structure for moving toward greater adoption of these practices.

This documented briefing addresses the kinds of capabilities the cyber force will be required to produce; how the cyber force should be distributed in Air Force organizations; the skills the cyber force should possess and how should they be distributed by military grade, civilian, contractor, and functional domains; and what kind of military specialty classification structure will lead to a viable, sustainable cyber force. The authors speculate about the kinds of skills the cyber force will need in the future when cyber capabilities will likely be fully integrated with air and space capabilities. Future air force cyber capabilities are expected to be used during peacetime, in conjunction with other government agencies, and in different forms of warfare. These applications will require Air Force cyber personnel to develop a broad set of technical, legal, organizational, and operational skills.

In response to the 2006 QDR, DoD created a human capital strategy (HCS) that could provide more flexibility in quickly accessing the right skills at the right place. It called for three initiatives: competency-based occupational planning, performance-based management, and enhanced opportunities for personal and professional growth. A panel of experts convened by RAND reviewed the HCS. This report presents the panel's conclusions and recommendations.
