AF Civilian Reductions Minimal for WA

 The Air Force has identified 4,500 of its civilian positions as part of the effort to meet budgetary constraints.

The effort is intended to increase efficiencies by standardizing the level of service for specific functions among installations.  In November 2010, the Air Force said it would eliminate 9,000 civilian positions (but adding 5,900 in priority areas).

The Air Force is eliminating 3,850 positions from headquarters and overhead areas in Air Staff, major command installations, field operating agencies and direct reporting units.

Installation support account for 1,700 of the civilian positions eliminated.  Below is the civilian personnel reductions for Washington State.
