In March 2020, the spread of COVID-19 necessitated the Department of the Air Force to rapidly expand teleworking capabilities and changed the landscape of telework and remote work opportunities within our force.
#Airmen, today the @USAirForce released updated guidance on the use of telework and remote work for all civilian employees and service members worldwide. Position eligibility is determined by the squadron commander, or equivalent, with input from supervisors.
Commanders, or equivalent, will consider the nature of the work performed, & assess whether permitting telework or remote work would diminish the ability to perform successfully or negatively impact the mission.
With each leadership opportunity I've had during my @usairforce career, I've been extremely honored, blessed, & proud...today is no exception.
@usairforce I'm proud to follow extraordinary leaders. Chiefs of Staffs from Spaatz to @GenDaveGoldfein, who have lead our @usairforce through Cold War competition & deterrence, through conflicts around the world, & through challenging #budget cycles & tough decisions.
@usairforce@GenDaveGoldfein This is a very historic day for our Nation & I don't take this moment lightly. Today is possible due to the perseverance of those who went before me serving as an inspiration to me and many others.
