As the site is developed other aspects such as Right Start briefings, travel arrangements, and issues such as orders, pay and outprocessing actions will be added. Bennett stressed that EAF On-line's success is reliant on feedback from airmen in the field. This will be accomplished through a button on the Web site that allows users to provide feedback directly to the AEF Center. We hope people of all specialties will visit the site, and suggest ways to improve our information. The site is for the deploying troop - we are trying to present information they will need, and consider valuable.
Feedback is essential for our success.
The October 2000 upgrade to EAF On-line will also benefit commanders by allowing them to track the readiness status of their unit and people. More importantly, it will also help them manage people's operations tempo. This is because commanders will have all their assigned people entered in databases that can be sorted in various fields, including number of days already spent on temporary duty assignments. Conducting briefings and training on this side of the ocean also has positive implications for a large portion of the force - reservists. Air National Guard and Reserve people and units are filling approximately 10 percent of the AEF taskings, Bennett said.
