The Air Force Manpower Analysis Agency (AFMAA) is a Field Operating Agency of the United States Air Force (USAF). It was reactivated in 2015 after inactivation in 2012 [1] at Joint Base San Antonio and was assigned directly to Hq, USAF. It provided USAF leaders at all levels with tools to identify manpower required to accomplish the USAF mission. [2]
The Air Force Manpower Analysis Agency (AFMAA) was originally established in 1975 as the Air Force Management Engineering Agency, a Separate Operating Agency of the USAF when USAF decided it needed an agency to provide technical guidance and central direction to its management engineering program. [2] Its mission throughout its existence was to provide USAF leaders assistance in identifying manpower requirements for the effective and efficient accomplishment of the Air Force mission. [3] In 1996, AFMA merged with the Air Force Quality Institute and became the Air Force Center for Quality and Management Innovation. [4] It received its current designation in 2003.
The agency, through its four major divisions and five subordinate manpower requirement squadrons, developed manpower requirements determination tools and manpower programming factors. Additionally, AFMA managed Air Force performance management and innovation programs, including awards programs such as the Air Force Chief of Staff Team Excellence Award and the Zuckert Award. AFMA executed the Air Force competitive sourcing program and conducted special studies. The agency also assisted combatant commanders in determining military essential requirements in support of warfighting scenarios, supported the manpower functional community, and was home to the Air Force Survey Office, which provided attitude and opinion survey tools such as the Air Force Climate Survey. [3] Starting in 1992, the agency took over the field management engineering teams that had been assigned to USAF's Major Commands [5] and reorganized them on a functional basis. In 1995 was redesignated a Field Operating Agency (FOA). Starting at the end of 2004, it reorganized, replacing its teams with numbered squadrons and flights. AFMA was realigned under the Air Force Personnel Center on 1 June 2012 [1] and later reactivated as the Air Force Manpower Analysis Agency (AFMAA) on 1 June 2015. [6]
Squadrons The Air Force Manpower Requirements Determination Squadron, co-located at Headquarters AFMA at Randolph AFB, Texas, was activated in November 2001 and was redesignated as the 1st Manpower Requirements Squadron in December 2004. The squadrons were inactivated.
