1982/01 - First Air Force Executive Officers
1982
The Air Force Executive Officer scheme was introduced in 1982 to handle logistics and administrative tasks, training officers in specialized areas.
The need for dedicated Air Force logistics officers – to tackle the growing complexities of supply and administrative tasks pertaining to Air Force operations – saw the introduction of the Air Force Executive Officer (AXO) scheme. It was set up to cover supply and administrative functions, and to train officers in specialised areas related to Air Force operations.

The scheme attracted men and women from various backgrounds.
