Recommendations

Recommendations for Executive Action

Agency Affected	Recommendation	Status
Department of the Air Force	Because so many of the AFWL positions GAO reviewed did not meet the military essentiality criterion under which they were categorized, the Secretary of the Air Force should direct the Commander, AFSC, to: (1) review each AFWL position to identify those that are military-essential, based on established Air Force criteria; (2) ensure that each position is appropriately coded; (3) maintain adequate supporting rationale for the positions coded; and (4) convert non-military-essential positions to civilian positions.	Closed – Implemented The Air Force completed its review of AFWL military positions, coded each position's military essentiality, and scheduled the conversion of military to civilian positions.
