Air Force officials will soon implement an amendment to the air and space expeditionary force deployment cycle that will better reflect the deployment-tempo of stressed career fields. Under the new construct, called AEF Evolution, each career field will fall into a different category of deployment cycles. Career fields in higher demand will have smaller dwell ratios (or more frequent deployments). The deployment categories are called tempo bands, and tempo banning will go into effect as early as October 2008. They will be able to see what tempo band they fall under by viewing their profile in the Air Force Portal starting in December 2008. Additional AEF information can be found at the AEF website, which is linked from the AFPC "Ask" website.
