Af Portal

The portal is a Web-based system developed to incorporate as many Air Force information applications as possible. This integration will allow systems such as the virtual Military Personnel Flight (vMPF) or functional area applications, such as a munitions ordering or parts tracking system, to be accessible from one Internet site. 3
