Civilians sign commander review on performance reports

  • Published
ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --  In the Air Force's current climate of shared leadership, civilians are finding new opportunities to fill positions that have historically been held by military officers. 

One indication of this shift was a change in Air Force policy in June. Civilians designated to lead units, excluding flight commanders, are now authorized to sign the commander review block on enlisted performance reports. 

The Air Force did not change its policy on requiring first sergeants to review enlisted performance reports. 

Officials said the Air Force will publish an interim change to Air Force Instruction 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluation Systems, to reflect the change in policy. (Air Force Reserve Command News Service)
