History

Section source: ARPC Factsheet [10]

The Center was established 1 Nov. 1953, as Detachment 1, Headquarters Continental Air Command, to centralize the custody and maintenance of master personnel records of Reserve Airmen not on extended active duty. The detachment officially began operations 1 March 1954, and soon had responsibilities for a wide variety of personnel actions, including administrative capability for mobilization of the Air Force Reserve.

On 1 Jan. 1957, the organization became Headquarters Air Reserve Records Center, acquiring the status of a numbered Air Force within Continental Air Command. Because of increasing involvement in all areas of personnel management, the Center was renamed the Air Reserve Personnel Center on 1 Sept. 1965. When Continental Air Command was inactivated, ARPC was designated a separate operating agency on 1 Aug. 1968, with no significant change in mission. Responsibility for maintaining personnel records of Air National Guard officers was added in July 1971, and enlisted Airmen in March 1978.

In 1978, its status changed to that of a direct reporting unit and organizational element of the Air Force Reserve. Separate operating agency status was re-established 1 May 1983, and the Center was designated as a field operating agency 5 Feb. 1991. With the establishment of the Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) on 17 Feb. 1997, ARPC was assigned to AFRC as a major command direct reporting unit.

The center moved from the former Lowry Air Force Base to its current location at Buckley Space Force Base 1 Aug. 2011.

Mission

"To deliver strategic Total Force human resource warfighting capability for the Air Force." [11]

Vision

"To be the recognized leader providing human resource services to generations of Airmen." [11]

Finance
