The Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) has achieved Full Operational Capability (FOC) for its servicing major command support to Space Force-assigned Airmen, four months ahead of schedule. The declaration of FOC on June 1, 2022, means that AFMC is now fulfilling the roles and responsibilities traditionally performed by a major command for Airmen supporting the Space Force. These functions include providing policy guidance, professional development opportunities, developmental team representation, and functional-specific roles.
AFMC had already declared Initial Operational Capability (IOC) on October 1, 2021, and has since been completing final actions and processes identified in a programming plan that outlined the AFMC functional support for Airmen assigned to the United States Space Force. The organization hired all the positions required to provide servicing major command support to Space Force Airmen.
Approximately 8,000 Airmen assigned to Space Force installations and units are being serviced by AFMC. However, Airmen at USSF installations continue to be serviced by their local military personnel flight and civilian personnel office, and the Air Force Personnel Center continues to provide service to all Airmen at Space Force installations.
The Department of the Air Force created this unique and first-time servicing MAJCOM structure in October 2020 to ensure Airmen assigned to the Space Force receive the same force development opportunities, functional and administrative support as those at U.S. Air Force installations.
