Purpose, in the publication’s words

This publication implements Department of the Air Force Policy Directive (DAFPD) 34-1, Department of the Air Force Services. It has been developed in collaboration between the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services (AF/A1), the Chief of the Air Force Reserve (AF/RE), the Director of the Air National Guard (NGB/CF), and the Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Human Capital (SF/S1). This publication applies to all civilian employees and uniformed members of the Regular Air Force, the United States Space Force, as well as the Air Force Reserve (AFR), and the Air National Guard (ANG). This publication provides directive guidance for lodging operations that includes operating information, management requirements, and performance standards. This publication also provides general guidance on standalone programs such as Aircrew Support and Laundry and Linen Exchange programs. Ensure all records generated as a result of processes prescribed in this publication adhere to Air Force Instruction 33-

Summary of changes, as printed

This document has been completely revised and must be reviewed in its entirety. It reflects organizational changes at the Air Force Services Center (AFSVC) and ensuing changes to responsible offices, points of contact, and roles and responsibilities. It updates references and changes the designation of AFMAN 34-135 to DAFMAN 34-135. Finally, this change reflects the conversion of DAF Lodging, also referenced as Air Force (AF) Inns, to a full nonappropriated fund (NAF) activity as directed in Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1015.11, DoD Lodging Policy; tiering changes reflect tightened waiver authority as greater control over the financial outcomes of the DAF lodging program is required under this new model. Guidance on lodging procedures for individual and unit-assigned AFR and ANG personnel on Inactive Duty for Training (IDT) and Annual Tour (AT) has been removed. AFR and ANG will develop and issue guidance meeting the needs of their respective component. A margin bar (|) indicates newly revised material.
