About AFMPC

The Air Force Military Personnel Center (AFMPC) was established in 1971 to centralize and manage personnel operations for the United States Air Force. Tasked with assignments, career development, and personnel policies, AFMPC played a pivotal role in supporting the Air Force’s global mission by ensuring the effective management of its human resources. Over the years, AFMPC evolved alongside changes in technology and force structure, continually adapting to meet the needs of both peacetime and wartime operations. In 1993, AFMPC was redesignated as the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC), continuing its legacy of service from its headquarters at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas.
