The Air Force has always been a leader in developing and exploiting technology (computers) and human resource (HR) methodologies. The computer-HR focus grew from the late 1950's through a number of organizational identities such as:

· Human Resources Research Center (HRRC)

· Air Force Personnel & Training Center (AFPTC)

· Wright Air Development Center (WADC),

· 6570th Personnel Laboratory (PersLab),

· Personnel Research Laboratory (PRL),

· Air Force Human Resources Laboratory (AFHRL),

· Armstrong Laboratory, Human Resources Directorate (AL/HRD), (de-activated 1998) and finally,

· Air Force Research Laboratory, the Human Effectiveness Directorate.
