Tech. Sgt. Laronica Docken, 92nd Air Refueling Wing command support staff, reads over a memorandum from the Secretary of the Air Force titled “Reducing Additional Duties,” Aug. 19, 2016, at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. As the first step in a long-term effort to reduce the burden on Airmen and allow them more time to focus on core missions, the Air Force conducted an assessment of each of the 61 additional duties identified under Air Force Instruction 38-206, “Additional Duty Management.” Based on this review, 29 of the 61 duties will be adjusted in a way that reduces the workload for Airmen. “We all must commit to making continuous improvements to reduce excessive demands on Airmen’s time,” said Deborah Lee James, Secretary of the Air Force. Airmen can expect these changes no later than Oct. 1, 2016.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Taylor Shelton)
