Chapter Seven
STRUCTURE
In order to be an effective member of AFPU, you must understand its structure and how it’s governed.
7.1. Chain of Command. The chain of command provides the command, control, and communication needed to operate successfully in stressful and difficult environments. Each “link” of the chain of command has its own responsibility and authority. Each level in the chain is responsible for all lower levels, and accountable to all higher levels. Loyalty is needed at every level for the chain of command to work.
Chain of command (High→Low):
- Major General
- HICOM
- Division Commanders
- Command (Officers)
- Non-Commissioned Officers
- Airmen
Loyalty up and down the chain makes it reliable, efficient, and effective. Everyone is apart of and subject to the Chain of Command and must use it properly. The key principle is to resolve problems and seek answers at the lowest level possible. For example, if you are an Airman and you have a question or issue, you should ask an NCO. If they cannot answer it, they will direct you up a step on the chain of command. This way only the most important matters get resolved at the highest level, leaving them free to work on important group matters.
7.2. Command Chief Master Sergeant. The Command Chief Master Sergeants (CCMS) is the principal advisor to the Major General. The CCMS is responsible for anything related to the Enlisted forces at base. The CCMS gives recommendations to the general on all aspects of enlisted life, efficiency, etc. The CCMS is in charge and responsible for the operation of BOS (7.3.) and its continued success. The CCMS establishes a channel of senior enlisted personnel such as, but not limited to, first sergeants, team leaders, etc.
This support channel does not supercede the chain of command, but works to help support the already in-place one. As senior enlisted leader of the command, the CCMS is charged with overseeing and being the driving force behind enlisted training and professional development programs. The CCMS and the Major General jointly coordinate and ensure all Airmen are ready for in garrison and deployed missions.
7.3. Board of Sergeants. The Board of Sergeants (BOS), commanded by the CCMS (7.2.) is responsible for meeting every weekend to discuss any concerns that may arise from the NCO’s to be sent to HICOM. In addition to this, they vote on any E-2’s or E-3’s that they believe are worthy of promotion. If passed by a majority, those people would be promoted at the weekly ceremony.
7.4. Board of Officers. The Board of Officers (BOO) is run by either the Major General or the Brigadier General every weekend. At BOO, each division will give a report about how the week went and any concerns they may have. After that, BOO will vote on any E-4+ they think are worthy of promotion. If passed by a majority, those people would be promoted at the weekly ceremony.
7.5. High Command: High Command (HICOM) is the single most powerful body within the group. HICOM is responsible for oversight of all divisions, the group, and making new rules. Members of HICOM operate at the highest level of the chain of command.
