The installation commander has the authority to make decisions regarding operations and activities on the military installation, including the closure of customer service functions for training purposes.

Therefore, it is logical for the MPE to be aligned under the force support squadron in this structure.

A.

Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC).
B.

Numbered Air Force (NAF)to HQ AFRC.

This means that the request originates from the NAF level and is then sent to the higher-level HQ AFRC for consideration and approval. The NAF serves as an intermediate level between the installation commander and the major command (MAJCOM), ensuring that the request follows the proper chain of command within the Air Force Reserve structure. The Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) and Air Reserve Personnel Center (AFRPC) are not involved in this specific request process.
