A career logistician has taken the reins as the top civilian in the Air Force Sustainment Center.

Following a three-year tour as the director of Logistics, Installations and Mission Support at Headquarters Air Force Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base, Colo., Jeffrey Allen has returned to Tinker AFB as the AFSC executive director.

Mr. Allen, who started in his new position Monday, said he is excited to be back in sustainment. 

“The AFSC workforce is showing amazing ways to be effective and efficient during these unprecedented times of resource and financial constraints,” he said. 

As the executive director, Mr. Allen is responsible for assisting Lt. Gen. Bruce Litchfield, AFSC commander, in providing operational planning and execution of Air Force Supply Chain Management and Depot Maintenance missions for a wide range of aircraft, engines, missiles and component items in support of Air Force Materiel Command missions. 

He also assists in overseeing operations at the three air logistics complexes, three air base wings, two supply chain management wings and multiple remote locations that comprise the AFSC.
