TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif.,-- From Nov. 6-8, Airmen from the 60th Operations Group hosted the Graduate Training Integration Management System user conference for Air Mobility Command and the Mobility Air Forces.


Nine volunteers from the 60th Operations Group planned, set up and executed the event.


The conference was open to active duty, Air Force Reserve Command and the Air National Guard units. In all, 160 Airmen and civilians from 31 bases, across five MAJCOMS partnered to refine their GTIMS knowledge and share best practices in order to integrate, standardize and advance the system’s operational use.

In February 2016, GTIMS became AMC’s “Information System of Record” for the generation and maintenance of aircrew required documentation. The purpose of GTIMS is to enable the ability to fly, fight, and win through integrated training and mission execution at all levels of air operations. GTIMS is a software and server platform that aggregates information across aircrew scheduling, management, training, evaluations, qualifications, resources, flight records and reporting in order to facilitate high-fidelity planning, proactive risk management, and decision making. In doing so, it enhances the warfighter’s ability to accomplish the mission.


During the three-day conference, attendees engaged with system experts from Travis’ GTIMS Center of Excellence, AMC and Air Education and Training Command Staff policy makers, and GTIMS Enterprise Service Desk contractors to provide best practices in scheduling, training, aircrew resource management, and standardization and evaluation.


Major focus areas for the conference included breakout sessions for squadron scheduling, training and SARM personnel to focus on a digital, end-to-end solution for pre-mission and post-mission processes.


“This event was extremely successful,” said Maj Thomas Wagner, 60th Air Mobility Wing deputy chief. “The ability for users to learn, collaborate and network with other GTIMS users, AMC staff and help desk experts helps to improve the GTIMS experience for users. Feedback received during the conference will help improve the software to advance the way we train and operate.”
