The Administrations Branch
The Administrations Branch, formerly known as the Personnel Branch, is the hub around which most of NAF personnel and administrative matters revolve.
It is made up of the Directorates of Administration, Air Provost, Legal Services, Medical Services, Public Relations and Information and Education. It is charged with the implementation of policy guidelines that deal with personnel and administrative matters, handling matters of welfare, discipline, medical services and other such matters that affect the daily wellbeing of NAF personnel. The office of the Air Officer Administration started as the Senior Air Staff Officer Administration in the late 1960s it was later upgraded to a directorate in 1975 and a branch in 1977. At this time the branch head was designated Air Officer Administration.

In 1990, the Administrations Branch was renamed Personnel Branch and by the time of the 2000-2005 establishment review, the Branch was reverted to Administrations Branch. Nineteen senior air force officers have headed the Administrations Branch from the period of its early existence until date. The chronicle of Air Officers Administration is listed below.
