Mission

The Air Force Manpower Agency (AFMA) was originally established in 1975 as the Air Force Management Engineering Agency, a Separate Operating Agency of the USAF when USAF decided it needed an agency to provide technical guidance and central direction to its management engineering program. Its mission throughout its existence was to provide USAF leaders assistance in identifying manpower requirements for the effective and efficient accomplishment of the Air Force mission.2009 Airman Magazine Yearbook
/ref> In 1996, AFMA merged with the Air Force Quality Institute and became the Air Force Center for Quality and Management Innovation. It received its current designation in 2003. The agency, through its four major divisions and five subordinate manpower requirement squadrons, developed manpower requirements determination tools and manpower programming factors. Additionally, AFMA managed Air Force performance management and innovation programs, including awards programs such as the Air Force Chief of Staff Team Excellence Award and the Zuckert Award. AFMA executed the Air Force competitive sourcing program and conducted special studies. The agency also assisted combatant commanders in determining military essential requirements in support of warfighting scenarios, supported the manpower functional community, and was home to the Air Force Survey Office, which provided attitude and opinion survey tools such as the Air Force Climate Survey. Starting in 1992, the agency took over the field management engineering teams that had been assigned to USAF's Major Commands and reorganized them on a functional basis. In 1995 was redesignated a Field Operating Agency (FOA). Starting at the end of 2004, it reorganized, replacing its teams with numbered squadrons and flights. AFMA was realigned under the
