What is the Air Force VMPF?

VMPF is the virtual flight of military personnel implemented by a request made by Donald L. Peterson, a Lieutenant General of the United States Air Force in 2019, this request was submitted by the senior officer to the Center for Personnel Affairs at Randolph AFB in Texas.

The main idea raised by Peterson was the feasibility study for a system that will provide all members of the Air Force through the use of their computers at home and in the offices, the possibility of doing by that means all sorts of things that were normally done personally in their respective bases, trying to streamline processes and save travel and unnecessary steps.

This center in Texas carried out studies, evaluations and surveys of the situation and just one year later presented the first phase of the "Virtual Military Personnel Flight", which they called VMPF.

The VMPF became an electronic place where the same operations can be performed as the physical personnel office, and it has the goodness to serve all the military in a base.

As is done in the real office, this virtual personnel site provides all types of information to those who visit it, allowing them to verify their records and meeting certain parameters, allows them to process a variety of actions that previously had to be done with visits to the real office in person

Currently, still several of the documents generated through the computer, must be taken by hand to the local staff flights, to perform the final action, but it is expected that through the computer can get to sign all your documents by electronic signatures and receive the appropriate approvals required by their commanders through this online system.
