Future budget plans that are currently in place should cover much of the cost of JRR implementation, however there was a lot of discussion about what to do if congressional budgets change or fall short. Future Force 21, a study about maintaining and adjusting our legacy Human Resources systems while simultaneously creating the foundation for tomorrow's systems should overlap with JRR implementation. The JRR team thinks that JRR implementation fits well with the FF-21 study. Aviation workforce restructuring came at a cost that far exceeded original projections. Leadership does not want to repeat a process that hurts the workforce or underestimates the costs.
Skills based assignments are an essential element of successful implementation.
PeopleSoft human resources management software is just beginning to be implemented and provides a means of tracking qualifications to help detailers match skill sets to jobs. Those Chiefs who were selected for assignment as Officers in Charge have been notified. The XPO slate is currently being worked on with hopes of completion by the holidays. Work will begin on the non-command cadre billets after the first of the year. The plan is to complete all assignments and have orders cut by the end of February 01.
