IP-321 Functional Area Manager (FAM)

IP-321 Functional Area Manager (FAM) We We Produce the the Future Mr. Bill Sheppard

Overview Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center (AFIMSC) Functional Area Manager (FAM) Summarize functional area manager s roles and responsibilities Explain Posturing and Coding Office of Functional area manager Oversight (OFAMO)

Air Force Secretary and Chief of Staff established the concept of AFIMSC in February 2014. The initiative was the result of a 2013 Secretary of Defense decision to implement a new package of efficiency reforms, including reducing major headquarters across the Department of Defense. We Produce the Future History

What they do AFIMSC manages DW/DX coded UTCs for the following units: Mission Support Group: SFS, CS, LRS, CES, FSS Wing Staff: PA, CPTS, Chaplain Benefits AFIMSC looks for AF trends and advocates changes Units have DIRLAUTH to AFIMSC to seek help UTC request come to one office for consolidation and action Reclama timelines should decrease We Produce the Future

Definition The FAM is the individual accountable for the management and oversight of all personnel and equipment within a specific functional area Organize, train and equip (OT&E) Operation planning Execution In some functional areas, the FAM may also perform duties as the Career Field Manager (CFM) CFMs ensure development, implementation, and maintenance of Career Field Education and Training Plans (CFETP) for their assigned Air Force specialties

Where are the FAMs? Air Staff FAM (aka HAF FAM) Responsible for all wartime planning policies and procedures affecting the entire functional area Air Force Supporting MAJCOMs and ANG FAM Keep track of availability of forces and equipment Coordinate with other FAMS on all wartime and exercise matters affecting their functional area AFFOR FAMs Develop Air Force Service Component requirements for TPFDDs Execution and sustainment Unit level FAMs Responsible for day-to-day management functions Responsible for planning and reporting in conjunction with other unit agencies Technically not a FAM but a UDM

Role of FAM CCMD The Clutch Plate Between USAF Operational and Administrative Management HAF F AFFOR Warfighting Headquarters A M Performs O, T, & E Tasks and Operation Planning and Execution Tasks Management Headquarters

FAM Roles Develop and review Air Force and MAJCOM policy (Functional Planning Guidance) Develop, manage and maintain UTCs Monitoring readiness reporting OPLAN development Perform execution activities Sourcing Shortfall/Reclama Perform force posturing & coding

Develop, review Air Force & MAJCOM Policy FAMs at all levels should have an understanding of Air Force doctrine Interpret and/or develop policies regarding force presentation and the processes and systems used to support the joint planning and execution process Working with AFPC to manage manpower requirements Input to the command supplement Pilot Unit Review FAMs at all levels will use DCAPES for Air Force war planning and execution

Develop, Manage and Maintain UTCs Develop new UTCs and ensure: Manpower Equipment Force Package (MEFPAK) Type UTC characteristics (TUCHA) Register and Delete Air Force Planners and FAMs will use the DCAPES module, Unit Type Management (UTM) for all UTC development, registration, and maintenance activities FAMs will review, validate and correct as necessary standard UTC data at least biennially FAMs need to closely evaluate requests for capabilities not defined by a standard UTC Supported or Supporting

Perform Execution Activities Ensure TPFDD accurately reflects resources of the tasked unit FAMs at all levels, when acting as force providers, will use DCAPES and the Air Force Verification Capability (AFVC) FAMs at all levels ensure timelines established to support the sourcing, verification, and validation processes are met FAMs at all levels will ensure they routinely check newsgroups Execution actions relative to their functional community Perform analysis activities Analyzing information for trends; direct appropriate corrective actions if necessary Analyze OPORD TPFDDs for shortfalls and overages

Shortfall/Reclama Shortfall - The lack of forces, equipment, personnel, materiel or capability, reflected as the difference between the resources identified as a plan requirement and those apportioned to Combatant Command or assigned to the service Reclama - the process to request duly constituted authority to reconsider its decision or its proposed action (JP 1-02)

Air Force considers a shortfall: Shortfall/Reclama (1) Capability Not Available : the capability is not available at the unit (formerly Condition 1-4) or (2) Severe Mission Impact : the wing or tasked unit has the capability and sufficient personnel to meet requirements as defined by P-coding but deployment of personnel and/or equipment would cause a severe mission impact on the wing/unit. Reach deeper (MAJCOM Authorized) Filling shortfalls in one UTC may mean moving a person from another UTC as long as the individual(s) are within the same AEF vulnerability period

UTC Posturing and Coding

UTC Posturing and Coding Posturing and coding guidance is written by Air Staff FAMs

Functional Area Guidance Currently, the Air Force has published Posturing Guidance for Transitioning to AEF Teams (Available on AEF ONLINE) Coming back: HAF FAMs will develop functional P&C guidance on how their functional area should posture and utilize UTCs HAF FAMs will coordinate with Component MAJCOM FAMs FAM Guidance will include the AEF team assignment for each functional area s UTCs (Based on AEF Teaming) MAJCOM FAMs will determine which UTCs to posture based on operational need and organization specifics

UTC Posturing and Coding All Air Force personnel are deployable or employed in-place Combat, Combat Support, and Combat Service Support are required to posture UTCs Posturing UTCs is based on funded military authorizations in an organization s unit manpower document (UMD) Force providers build standard deployable UTCs to the maximum extent possible Do not posture unfunded manpower requirements So what are P codes? DW DX DP AW AX AP

P-Codes DP - UTCs dedicated to a combatant commander s mission (deployed or inplace); usage is not limited to combatant commander assigned forces and may also include unassigned forces providing global combatant commander support DX - UTCs required to continue critical home station operations (assumes extended hours, reduced levels of service, etc.) DW - UTCs rotationally available (i.e., available for AFPC sourcing) P-codes are not assigned to Airmen nor are they hard-linked to unit manpower document (UMD) positions

UTC Posturing and Coding UMD Funded Military Authorization MANFOR UTCs UTCs P-CODE DW/DX/DP IP-536

UTC Posturing and Coding Funded authorizations that do not fit into an existing standard UTC will be postured into an "Associate" UTC (A-UTC). A-UTCs do not contain MISCAPs or standard manpower/logistics detail Not available for use by a combatant commander or its component The UTC designator is based on the functional grouping that best describes the duty AFSC or functional capability of the positions. Example 6KZZZ Maj AFSC XXXX 6KZZZ AFSC XXXX

UTC Availability or UTA

Office of FAM Oversight (OFAMO) Facilitates the appointment, identification, and training of FAMs, HAF directorates, MAJCOM/CV (or equivalent), components Assists in scheduling FAM training requirements Assists with GCCS and SIPRNET access, which will be loaded on each FAM s desktop computer where feasible Maintains a current roster of FAMs for their organization Adjudicates any unresolved cross-functional non-standard UTC issues

FAM Resources

OPERATION PLANNER (AFI 13-103) AFFOR Staff Officer Mission planning, monitoring, execution, assessment on behalf of COMAFFOR Conduct operation planning, develop campaign plans, execute operations AFFOR Staff Planner Translate strategic direction into operational requirements and tactical action Synchronize AF resources with joint/coalition/interagency to achieve desired objectives Develop and/or execute campaign/contingency plans and OPORDs to achieve strategic objectives within theaters or operations
