BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- In an effort to better serve the unique needs of the Individual Reserve population, HQ RIO has redesigned their public website.
The site also has a new, shorter URL: www.arpc.afrc.af.mil/hqrio.aspx.
The HQ RIO website is managed specifically for the more than 7,200 Individual Reservists around the world and contains news, information and resources they need to navigate their careers.
The redesigned site is built around a large panel of navigation buttons at the top of each page. These buttons break the information into common categories, such as force development, entitlements and benefits, and training. The website also contains information about reserve pay and travel, IMA vacancies, and organizational contact information.
One new tool built into the website is the Detachment Finder, which can be accessed by selecting the “Detachments” button. This tool helps IMAs identify which HQ RIO Detachment they are assigned to based on their MAJCOM or career field, and then directs them to their detachment’s unique webpage. The Detachment pages contain, at a minimum, contact information for each of their locations.
While the link for the HQ RIO website has changed, the majority of pages from the old website are set up to automatically redirect to their new location. Pages that do not do this will redirect visitors to the new HQ RIO home page. IRs are encouraged to review the site and update any bookmarks they may have. HQ RIO is also in the process of updating the Guide for Individual Reservists, which will reflect any link changes.
The HQ RIO webpage is a sub-section of the Headquarters Air Reserve Personnel Center website. HQ RIO is located within the HQ ARPC building at Buckley Air Force Base,
