Essentially, the center would retain at Robins AFB, Ga., some 100 civilian personnel management workers, including the current director, who would serve two masters, the ALC commander and the Air Force Personnel Center commander.

Jim Marshall (D-Ga.), who developed the agreement, called it a “big win” for the WRALC.
