Personnel Administration

Personnel Administration under the Air Force's Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) budget activity, aims to address vital personnel issues through two initiatives: Personnel Services Delivery (PSD) and the Total Integration Mobilization Execution System (TIMES). PSD focuses on transforming the delivery of Human Resources capabilities by redesigning processes and technologies to shift from face-to-face interactions to online self-service and contact centers. It also supports the migration of legacy applications to a cloud-based hosting solution. TIMES aims to modernize the Air Force's mobilization processes by streamlining planning, allocation, and execution through automation, cloud hosting, and agile software development. These initiatives are essential for enhancing personnel services and ensuring rapid and accurate information flow during mobilization.

The specific objectives of the Personnel Administration program include funding operational developments necessary to acquire, field, and modify business processes for the transformation of HR capabilities. This involves transitioning from traditional face-to-face interactions to a tiered model with services delivered through online self-service and contact centers. Additionally, the program aims to support the migration of legacy applications and other information technologies from on-premises data centers to a more sustainable cloud-based hosting solution. The Total Integration Mobilization Execution System (TIMES) initiative within this program seeks to establish a cloud-based software suite to modernize the Air Force's mobilization processes by automating activation procedures and ensuring rapid and accurate information flow from requirements generation to pay and benefits initiation. These efforts are crucial for enhancing operational efficiency and readiness within the Air Force's personnel administration.
