HILL AIR FORCE BASE -- Air Force officials announced the anticipated reduction of 4,500 civilian positions. This follows the Nov. 2 Air Force announcement which identified 12,000 of the 16,500 civilian billets that were eliminated to bring the Air Force civilian strength in line with its Financial Year 2012 President's Budget. The Air Force has been working to define the remaining 4,500 positions since the November announcement. These reductions will meet the Secretary of Defense's requirement for the civilian workforce to be maintained at FY10 levels.
A group of 11 community leaders have been inducted as special community partners, following a special "LOGSTAR" orientation here recently.
LOGSTAR, a community relations program sponsored by the Air Force, pairs key military personnel and civilian leaders as partners in activities and social events. The program is designed to strengthen community relations and increase mutual understanding of each other's responsibilities.
