Who will translate PECs into Unit Manning Document (UMD) manpower authorizations?

• A. MAJCOM A1Ms
• B. AFRC Manpower Analysts
• C. DoD Comptroller
• D. Base Wing Resources Office

Answer: (A)

Translating PECs into Unit Manning Document manpower authorizations falls to the MAJCOM A1Ms. They are the manpower and personnel specialists at the major command level, responsible for turning position codes that describe how each role contributes to unit structure into concrete UMD authorizations. This ensures a consistent, command-wide view of authorized staffing and ties base-level manning to the overarching organizational plan. The other offices have different primary missions: the DoD Comptroller handles funding and financial aspects, the Base Wing Resources Office manages base-level resource requirements, and AFRC Manpower Analysts work within the reserve command context. So the MAJCOM A1Ms are the ones who translate PECs into UMD manpower authorizations.
