Fresh from “ringing the bell” to announce its success in hitting fiscal year 2024 recruiting targets, the Air Force’s recruiting enterprise is shifting its attention to the future with a major restructuring effort aimed at streamlining communication and making it easier to shift or share resources between teams.
The new plan will also see the Air Force bring in an additional 370 recruiters.
As of Oct. 1, Air Force Recruiting Service is beginning a merger with Air University’s Jeanne M. Holm Center, which manages the service’s Reserve Officer Training Corps and officer and warrant officer training programs, to form a single entity: the Air Force Accessions Center.
The change had been in the works for nearly a year, driven by a desire to remove silos and build organizational consistency, Brig. Gen. Christopher Amrhein, the head of Air Force recruiting, told Air Force Times in an exclusive interview.
