Gen. Richard Scobee, who assumed command of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2018\/04\/04\/some-reservists-must-stay-on-six-more-months\/\" target=_blank>AFRC<\/a> after Gen. Maryanne Miller moved to Air Mobility Command, told reporters on Wednesday that the command is set to grow by 200 airmen this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2018\/04\/20\/air-force-should-make-active-reserve-switches-easier-wilson-says\/\" target=_blank>command<\/a> is still short about 1,400 full-time maintainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve struggled with the maintainer piece because as our economy has improved there are a lot of job opportunities out there,\u201d Scobee said on the final day of the Air Force Association\u2019s Air, Space and Cyber Conference outside Washington..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three-star said he\u2019s focusing on three things: recruitment, retention and relocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI want to give people a community to serve in that best suits the needs of their family,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I want to pay them commensurate to what they could get \u2014 or close to it \u2014 on the outside. You can never make exactly in the military what you could on the outside, but I need to get close enough to incentivize people to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scobee said the command is working to steadily increase the number of maintainers.
