Air Force Ends Force Shaping

Week of March 31, 2008

Force shaping programs for the Air Force will be closed for the remainder of the year. March 31, 2008 is the last day Air Force officials would accept fiscal 2008 Voluntary Separation Pay program applications. Voluntary retirement programs close April 30, 2008. However, the Blue to Green program -- for enlisted and officers applying for transfer to the Army -- will remain open indefinitely. A decision on what force shaping programs may be utilized in fiscal 2009 is still pending. For more information, visit the Air Force Personnel Center's Force Shaping webpage.
