Munitions and Missile Maintenance The Munitions and Missile Maintenance Officer combines a unique Air Force expertise in nuclear surety and weapons safety founded on maintenance discipline essential to enabling the Air Force’s ability to fly, fight, and win. As logisticians, munitions and missile maintenance officers develop joint capabilities while mastering specialized munitions maintenance skills. They hold the critical responsibility to formulate and implement maintenance procedures that ensure Air Force arsenals are always fully stocked, accounted for, highly functional, and ready to be deployed, and continue a diverse missile and maintenance heraldry.

Air Force Maintenance Badge Heraldry The design of the falcon is a replica of the maintenance falcon located in the National Cathedral at Washington DC. The falcon symbolizes the airborne strength by the Air Force and made possible by the maintenance of aircraft, munitions, and communications-electronics equipment. In its talons, the falcon is holding a bomb and a generic 21st century aircraft. They are crossed to show the interrelationship of the career fields. The three levels of the award are signified by the addition of a star centered above the falcon for the senior level and the star surrounded by an olive wreath for the master level.

The aircraft, streamlined to depict a 21st century aircraft, is symbolic of all aircraft maintained by the personnel who will wear the badge into the 21st century. The aircraft has three leading edges, which represent the three enlisted maintenance specialties: aircraft, munitions, and communications-electronics. The personnel, like the leading edges of the aircraft, work together to support the flying mission. The bomb, streamlined to depict a modern munition, symbolizes the primary mission of the Air Force maintainer to make sure they put the bombs on target. The field is without obstruction and depicts a free sky and the olive wreath surrounding the badge symbolizes the peace, which we defend through professional maintenance.

The Missile Badge Heraldry

The original design of the Missile Badge was prepared by the United States Army Heraldic Division at Arlington, Virginia. There are four significant elements of the badge. The use of the generic missile is intentional so as to resemble no particular missile in the inventory. The badge was given an hourglass shape to signify the timeliness of the weapon systems’ response capabilities. The four stars, two on either side of the missile, represent the operational domain of the missile systems, the total aerospace environment. Finally, two vertical bands beneath the missile represent a residual vapor trail left by a missile in flight. The first distinctive missile badge was established May 23, 1958, to recognize those within the Air Force who had a direct role in the development, maintenance or operation of guided missiles. The badge was first called the Guided Missile Insignia and was authorized for those who performed duty in or were associated with the Snark, Atlas, Goose, Thor, Jupiter, Matador, Mace, Bomarc, Titan and Minuteman missile systems. In 1963, the name was changed to the Missileman Badge and three levels of expertise were established: Basic, Senior, and Master Missileman. The honor of wearing the badge went to those who completed specialized missile training. In April 1979, the name of the Missileman Badge was once again changed, this time to the Missile Badge, deleting any reference to gender. In 1988, with the approval of the “Missile Operations Designator,” a wreath encircling the Missile Badge, the original Missile Badge became a badge awarded exclusively to missile maintainers. The Missile Badge is now awarded to maintenance personnel working in the ICBM, cruise missile, and air-to-air missile systems.

The Ammo Badge Heraldry

The badge includes the heraldic shield which also represents the United States advanced conventional stockpile acting as a deterrent to forestall enemy attacks. The shell and flame, of which is synonymous with this great profession, is traced back as far as 1802 with the Spanish artillery. The shell and flame is a reminder that we are custodians of the USAF arsenal, readied and made available at all times, for national defense. The olive wreath surrounding the shield symbolizes the peace provided by defending the United States in performing this unique profession. The insignia includes three variations for the basic, senior, and master level echelons for 2W0 enlisted and for 21M officers. The shell and flame insignia signified Ordnance Corps members, dating back to 1832, and is one of the oldest branch insignias of the U.S. Army. In 1835, members of the Ordnance Corps wore a shell and flame button. In 1903, ordnance sergeants adopted a silver ordnance insignia in a large guild wreath, with the design evolving into different items worn today on uniforms of the other three services. In the U.S. Marine Corps, Chief Warrant Officers serving as "Infantry Weapons Officers" replace the rank insignia on the left collar with a "bursting bomb." The U.S. Navy has used the shell and flame insignia for its Aviation Ordnancemen since 1926. During World War II, Woman Ordnance Workers (WOW) employed in munitions factories all over America produced weapons and ammunition in support of the war effort. Part of their uniform was a bright red bandana with white flaming bombs -- the distinctive WOW trademark.

AFSC 21MX A/I/N CAREER FIELD EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN

PREFACE

“Strategic Context: New Air Force operating concepts are evolving to meet the changing global threat requiring new logistics operating concepts to support them. In turn, this will require new knowledge, skills, and abilities in our officer, enlisted, and civilian workforce that align to the way we must operate in the future. These changes must be identified and implemented across the near, mid, and long-term planning time frames. Vision: We must be able to deliberately, repeatedly, and affordably deliver high quality, integrated, agile Total Force logisticians, across all planning time horizons, with the right competencies, at the right place, at the right time to provide agile logistics support of Global Vigilance – Global Reach – Global Power.”

Air Force Logistics Human Capital Strategy, 2016 1. The Aug 2016 21X Utilization and Training Workshop drove significant and necessary changes to the 21M career field. The most significant change is the requirement to functionally-pair, or gain a second 21M shred, prior to senior certification. This change was made in order to ensure nuclear enterprise experience within the 21M community. Growing this experience is a deliberate and essential developmental strategy to ensure the Air Force has a robust, versatile inventory of 21M officers to serve in a variety of key leadership positions across an officer’s career. 2. Force Development is designed to link training and education to assignment experiences, connect individual goals to Air Force requirements, invest the right education and training experience at the right time for the officer, and to enhance leadership and functional competencies to best utilize individual officers throughout the development and assignment processes. Successful careers have a common thread; a good combination of depth (significant expertise in a core area) and breadth (experience across multiple missions that complement core knowledge and/or officer growth). 3. The Munitions and Missile Maintenance Officer Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is the vehicle used to communicate force development guidance. This guidance facilitates the growth of future munitions leaders and provides a “training roadmap” that identifies mandatory and optional skill- level training.

4. The CFETP provides force development guidance that the Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC) assignment team uses to make informed decisions in support of an officer’s career progression. The developmental team (DT) adds strategic guidance and rigor to the process by providing career vectors, which AFPC uses to match officers to future assignments. The primary objective is to ensure officers remain proficient in munitions and missile maintenance fundamentals and disciplines while improving personal skill sets and expertise needed to successfully operate and lead across an evolving maintenance spectrum.

PART I SECTION A - GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Purpose. This CFETP contains information for career field functional managers, training managers, commanders, supervisors, trainers, and technical training centers to plan, develop, manage and conduct a robust 21M training and force development program. The CFETP:

1.1. Serves as a management tool to ensure officers receive training at appropriate points in their career.

1.2. Identifies requirements for each certification level and recommends training for each career phase.

1.3. Lists training courses available in the specialty.

1.4. Identifies training sources and the training medium.

1.5. Establishes force development guidance that the AFPC assignment team uses to allocate assignments.

2. CFETP Use. Functional Managers and supervisors at all levels will use this plan to ensure a comprehensive and cohesive training program is instituted for each officer.

2.1. Air Education and Training Command (AETC) develops/revises formal resident, and exportable training based on user requirements documented in this CFETP. AETC is responsible for developing procurement and acquisition strategies to obtain the resources required to provide training identified in the CFETP. The AETC Course Training Manager and the Air Force Career Field Manager are the custodians of this CFETP and ensure HQ AFPC/DPPAT receives approved revisions for publication. The AETC Course Training Manager is responsible for notifying HQ AETC to index the CFETP in http://www.e-publishing.af.mil.

2.2. The Air Force Career Field Manager will schedule and chair a U&TW at a minimum, every three (3) years to address the training needs of the career field. AETC will provide a progress report 12 months after the U&TW.

2.3. The MAJCOM functional manager will ensure training programs complement the CFETP’s mandatory initial skills and upgrade requirements. Identified requirements can be satisfied by AETC and unit resident training, or exportable courseware/courses. MAJCOM-developed training to support this AFSC must be identified for inclusion in this plan and must not duplicate available training.

2.4. Commanders and immediate supervisors will manage and control progression through the career field by ensuring each officer completes the mandatory training requirements for upgrade specified in this plan and as supplemented by their MAJCOM. The list of courses in Part II, Section D, will be used as a reference to determine required training. Commanders should take advantage of local opportunities to provide 21M officers the opportunity to develop consistent with the functional pairing concept.

3

2.5 Squadron Commanders, or equivalent, are responsible for ensuring their assigned officers meet the requirements of the CFETP. The Squadron Commander (or higher authority) will certify the officer’s training progression by creating a journal entry in the Training Business Area system. Group Commanders may take advantage of cross flow opportunities within their groups when circumstances allow, but the 21M functional pairing should take precedence over cross flow to other Air Force Specialties. Group Commanders have decision authority for 21M/21A cross flow opportunities within their groups. If award of a secondary AFSC is desired, Group Commanders must consult with the AFPC maintenance officer assignment team and Air Force Career Field Manager to discuss AFSC inventory requirements and to secure required initial skills training as applicable. 2.6. Individual 21M officers will use this CFETP to determine training requirements and understand the career field development paths and opportunities. Each 21M officer will complete the mandatory follow-on training requirements specified in this plan and as specified by the unit. Specific instructions for follow-on training are described in Part II, Section C. 2.7. Cross flow officers will maintain a 21M CFETP while in the 21M cross flow and accomplish all core tasks identified in the CFETP, as well as locally identified mandatory items Core tasks and locally mandated items will be documented in Training Business Area IAW paragraph 4 of this section. Recommend cross flow officers returning to their core AFSC continue to maintain this record for future requirements.

3. Coordination and Approval. The CFETP is approved and maintained by the AFCFM in accordance with (IAW) AFI 36-2201, Air Force Training Program Career Field Education and Training. Forward recommended changes to the AFCFM, HQ USAF/A4LW. MAJCOM requests for additional training must either be accompanied by funding or must be satisfied within existing resources; the AFCFM is the approval authority. MAJCOM representatives and AETC training personnel will identify and coordinate career field training requirements. The AETC CTM for 21M AFSC will coordinate with the AFCFM to initiate an annual MAJCOM review of this document to ensure currency and accuracy.

4. Training Documentation. The use of Training Business Area is mandatory for all active, guard, and reserve 21M officers to document CFETP requirements. Contact your MAJCOM 21M functional if unable to comply with this mandate.

2. 21M Career Progression. Experience and knowledge in this Air Force specialty will help officers plan and achieve their Air Force career goals as munitions and missile maintenance officers. There are certain jobs or experiences in this discipline that will assist them in meeting individual goals. There are many paths a 21M can take to become a senior leader. The most important factor in determining future opportunities is an officer’s performance in their current job. 2.1. Initial Development. Officers will develop depth on their first assignment by gaining experience both as a leader and a functional expert. All facets of unit-level maintenance provide many opportunities to supervise Airmen of all ranks and experience levels. It is common to find maintenance officers leading and supervising as few as 30 technicians to as many as 200 during the first assignment. As they progress, officers will gain experience and depth that will ultimately lead to becoming a fully qualified maintenance officer (21M3X). 2.2. Intermediate Development. Several permanent change of station (PCS) moves are normally required for an officer to experience the breadth of unit maintenance opportunities to sufficient depth. When contemplating such a move, the officer should keep in mind the following:

2.2.1. Functional Pairing. Broadening to another 21M3X shred to obtain complementary experience (e.g., 21M3I to 21M3N) will expand an officer’s understanding of the differences in weapon system complexity, supportability, and deployability within the 21M career field. Upon completion of secondary shred training, a minimum of 24 months of experience is required to become fully qualified in the second functional area. 21Ms will obtain nuclear surety experience prior to Senior certification.

2.2.2. Leading Larger Organizations. Concentrate on building depth by leading a larger or more complex flight.

2.2.3. Short-tour overseas assignments. Short-tour overseas assignments represent prime opportunities to quickly fill gaps in an officer’s professional development and to hone skills in a typically austere environment. 2.2.4. A change in major command (MAJCOM). Experience in several different MAJCOMs will give an officer a broader view of the total Air Force mission and a deeper understanding of how all the "pieces" fit together. This knowledge will lay the foundation for success on the Air Staff or Joint Staff.

7

2.3. Functional Pairing. In order to maintain the unique expertise a 21M officer brings to the nuclear enterprise, 21Ms will be functionally paired before their progression to the senior skill level. Part I Section C lists specific requirements for functional pairing. In general, 21Ms who gain foundational experience in conventional munitions should functionally pair to nuclear weapons maintenance positions. Those with foundational experience in ICBM maintenance should functionally pair to nuclear weapons maintenance positions. Those with foundational experience in nuclear weapons maintenance should functionally pair to ICBM maintenance or conventional munitions positions. See Figure 2 for an illustration of ideal timing of functional pairing between shreds.

2.4. Senior Development. A fully qualified 21M3x will be eligible for award of the Senior skill level with 7 years of experience. At the field grade level, an officer will continue to broaden expertise while strengthening their background in maintenance through operational level leadership and staff assignments. During this time, they should pursue those opportunities that make them viable for squadron command and subsequent selection for group command or a key senior maintenance officer position. 2.5. Master Development. A fully qualified 21M3x will be eligible for Master skill level certification with 15 years of experience. These officers are ready to assume a broad spectrum of leadership roles. 2.6. Command Opportunities. As a maintenance officer gains breadth and depth they will have the opportunity to compete for command and senior staff/joint assignments. Command billets exist at several levels. Captains can compete for detachment commander positions; Majors and Lieutenant Colonels can compete for squadron command positions. Assignments for Lieutenant Colonels include opportunities to serve as squadron commanders, ROTC detachment commanders, and deputy maintenance group commanders. Colonels can compete for group, and some squadron command positions. 2.7. Career Broadening Opportunities. A minimum of three years of experience is recommended before cross flowing into a second AFSC. Upon gaining sufficient core experience, a variety of new options become available. Release for these opportunities is contingent on career field dynamics and generally officers return to their “core” AFSC following the career broadening tour. See Attachment 7 for more details on special program opportunities allowing officers to: 2.7.1. Cross flow into Aircraft Maintenance (21A) or Logistics Readiness (21R) disciplines through the Base Level Broadening Program (BLBP), to develop breadth of experience. 2.7.2. Career broaden into an Air Force Logistics Special Program. Opportunities include: Logistics Career Broadening Program (LCBP), Acquisitions and Logistics Experience Exchange Tour (ALEET) and Education with Industry (EWI). Experiences gained through LCBP, ALEET, and EWI provide a direct positive benefit to the 21MX AFSC. These programs introduce officers to a much broader view of logistics to include acquisitions, sustainment and life-cycle management. The knowledge, skills and abilities gained during these programs will enable officers to be more effective within their respective mission-sets and weapon systems upon return to the 21M career field. These programs can also positively impact an officer’s future assignment opportunities by giving them breadth of experience within the broader field of logistics.

8

2.7.3. Compete for Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) master’s degree programs.

2.7.4. Career broaden into an Air Force Special Duty. Opportunities include: United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), Squadron Officers School (SOS), Technical Training and Officer Training School (OTS) instructors, Recruiting Flight Commander, command and control operations, and operations support officers. These jobs are available to a limited number of maintenance officers. 2.8. Developmental Education. Professional Military Education is a necessary part of professional development. Developmental Education opportunities exist at the Basic level for captains, the intermediate level for majors, and the senior level for lieutenant colonels. Officers not afforded the opportunity to attend Professional Military Education (PME) in residence must complete PME by correspondence or seminar to remain competitive in their Air Force career progression. Beyond Air Command and Staff College and Air War College, there are multiple competitive programs that qualify for completion of Intermediate and Senior Developmental Education.

2.8.1. Basic Developmental Education. Captains and captain-selects will have an opportunity to go to Squadron Officer School in-residence.

2.8.2. Intermediate Developmental Education. Majors and major-selects can compete for resident Intermediate Developmental Education. Many graduates will go to a challenging joint-duty staff assignment, commander, MAJCOM, or Air Staff level job upon graduation. 2.8.3. Senior Developmental Education. Officers selected for promotion to Lieutenant Colonel or Colonel will also have the opportunity to compete for in-residence attendance at Senior Developmental Education. Upon graduation, officers may be assigned to the Air Staff, joint-duty billets or chosen for command at the group level. 3. 21M Training Decisions. The 82d Training Group hosted a Specialty Training Requirements Team (STRT) and Utilization and Training Workshop (U&TW) for the 21X Logistics enterprise at Sheppard AFB 22-26 Aug 2016. The 21A, 21M and 21R Career Field Managers (CFM) co-chaired the event. During the STRT/U&TW, the working group determined future career field training requirements and revised the Career Field Education and Training Plans (CFETP), the Air Force Officer Classification Directory (AFOCD) and Course Training Standards (CTS) for initial skills and intermediate training pipeline courses. After reviewing occupational analysis report (OAR) data, formal training data, course training standards and available formal/informal courses, the following decisions were made: 3.1. Initial Skills Training Review. The 21M working group updated the Course Training Standards (CTS) for MOFC, CMOC, IMOC and NMOC by consolidating duplicative items under MOFC and by altering existing behavioral statements across all courses. New behavioral statements will ensure pipeline courses build upon the fundamental concepts taught in MOFC as opposed to repeating material. 3.2. NMOC CTS Review. During the NMOC CTS review, the 21M break-out group realigned behavioral statements linked to nuclear weapons treaty governance and NC3 processes from NMOC to MOFC. The group also developed requirements for AETC to provide instruction on the various types of nuclear generations for insertion into the NMOC curriculum. Specific generation

9

models include MUNSS operations, bomber operations (gravity and cruise missile), ICBM and DCA fighter platform operations. 3.3 21M CFETP Review. The group reviewed the 21M CFETP for adequacy and completeness. Additionally, the group incorporated the updated CTS listings for MOFC, CMOC, IMOC and NMOC into the CFETP and identified an action item to establish special experience identifiers (SEI) for AFCOMAC and NAC. The establishment for these SEIs will call-out specific munitions officer competencies that normally would not be as identifiable within the duty history of a 21M officer. The group also updated the CFETP to reflect functional pairing (second shred) as a mandatory requirement for 21M senior certification. 3.4. 21M AFSC Award Discussion. The team also discussed timing for 21M AFSC award. The team decided to continue the award of the 21M AFSC following the respective pipeline course (CMOC, IMOC, NMOC). This decision recognizes MOFC “plus” respective pipeline course as Initial Skills Training for accessions and cross- flow officers (21Ms functionally paired to additional shred will attend new shred pipeline course only). 3.5. MOIC CTS Review. The 21A and 21M functional communities combined efforts on day 4 of the STRT/U&TW to jointly review the MOIC CTS listing. This joint review proved beneficial by having all 21M shreds and aircraft maintainers from across the MAJCOMs represented in one room to review training requirements. During the review, the group converted CTS line-items from proficiency codes to behavioral statements in order to clearly define training requirements. The joint reviewing body also removed the requirement to teach subject matter deemed not applicable to the pre-Operations Officer targeted audience (non-production-related subjects) such as R&D, ODT&E and ACR lessons. The group also took special interest in ensuring inclusiveness throughout MOIC by modifying CTSs to include the ICBM intermediate-level audience by changing phrases like, “explain airframe factors in determining maintenance production capabilities”, to “explain weapon system factors, etc …”. The group emphasized the nuclear enterprise training requirements by adding a pre/post look at the DoD nuclear enterprise. This new requirement uses the “Minot Incident” (a current case study within MOIC) as the pre/post reference point and adds the “Taiwan Shipping Incident” as a case study within the same lesson. 4. 21M Career Path. The 21M career field is diverse and demands expertise in areas of intense focus and National importance. At senior levels of responsibilities, 21M officers must have expertise in multiple “shreds” and career development includes multiple opportunities to develop this expertise. Figure 1 shows a generalized career pyramid for 21M officers, regardless of shred.

10

Figure 1. 21M Career Progression Chart 4.1. 21M Career Tracks. In order to ensure adequate breadth of experience at senior levels, 21Ms should focus their career development generally along tracks focused on their foundational shred (A, I, or N) with functional pairing/broadening into a complimentary shred. Figure 2 shows the general assignment opportunities for the different core tracks as officers advance through their careers. Individual assignments may vary from this, but in general this will provide the appropriate mix of skills for senior 21M officers. Figure 2. 21M Career Tracks

PART I SECTION C - PROFICIENCY TRAINING REQUIREMENTS 1. Purpose. The proficiency training requirements in the 21MX career field are defined in terms of task and knowledge requirements for each skill level in the conventional munitions, nuclear weapons and missile systems; they are stated in broad, general terms, and establish the standards of performance. The specific knowledge training requirements are identified in Part II. 2. 21M1 and 21M3 Specialty Qualification Requirements. In addition to the requirements below, knowledge, education, and other requirements are listed in Part 1 Section B, paragraph 1. The squadron commander will verify the munitions and missile maintenance officer has completed training requirements for award of 21M3 AFSC, which designates full qualification. The squadron commander will then certify the officer for upgrade. 2.1 Training. The following training is mandatory for award of the AFSC indicated. Note: For waiver of these requirements refer to AFI 36-2101, Classifying Personnel, and AFI 36-2201, Air Force Training Program. 2.1.1. 21M1X. Award of the 21M1 AFSC, requires completion of the Munitions and Missile Maintenance Officer Fundamentals Course and a specialty shred out course. Upon completion of each respective shred out course officers will be awarded their corresponding shred. 2.1.1.1.1. 21M1A. Conventional Munitions Maintenance tracked officers will attend the Conventional Munitions Officer Course (CMOC). 2.1.1.1.2. 21M1N. Nuclear Maintenance tracked officers will attend the Nuclear Munitions Officer Course (NMOC). 2.1.1.1.3. 21M1I. ICBM Maintenance tracked officers will attend the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Maintenance Officer Course (IMOC). 2.1.2. 21M3X. Complete all CFETP core training requirements for 21M3X and the appropriate shred (reference Part II, Section C), and the below courses.

2.2.2. (Regular Air Force only) 21M3X Functional Pairing (second shred). To be functionally paired, the officer must complete a minimum of 24 months performing duties in the additional shred. 2.3. Training Sources. A list of courses supporting education and training is listed in Part II, Section B. 2.4. Implementation. The Training Task List in Part II, Section C outlines tasks to complete to reach appropriate skill levels and shreds. 3. Skill and Career Progression. Quality training and timely progression through skill levels plays an extremely important role in the Air Force’s ability to accomplish its mission. The guidance provided in this part of the CFETP will ensure officers receive correct training at appropriate points in their career. Skill-level progression is associated with four levels of certification: Entry, Basic, Senior, and Master. Table 1 provides a visual representation of each level of certification and the requirements for each. 3.1. Entry Level. IAW AFI 36-2201, Air Force Training Program, Initial Skills Training (IST) must be completed within 6 months of entering active duty unless restricted by lack of security clearance or other extenuating circumstances. Upon successful completion of MOFC and the appropriate AFSC awarding follow-on course, graduates will be awarded the entry level “21M1” AFSC with the appropriate “A”, “I” or “N” shred. Initial assignments provide opportunities to establish and build depth and technical expertise within this munitions and missile maintenance discipline. Commanders will expose new officers to the entire mission of the unit. 3.1.1. Entry level officers should thoroughly understand all requirements within the 21M CFETP. 3.1.2. The maintenance badge is the occupational badge awarded to a 21M upon completion of the fundamentals and follow-on shred-out (e.g., CMOC, IMOC, or NMOC) courses. 3.1.3. The missile badge will be awarded to 21Ms that complete IMOC and/or have 12 months directly supervising 2M/2W personnel in guided missile or missile system maintenance, loading and unloading. 3.1.4. The ammo badge will be awarded to 21Ms that complete CMOC and/or have 12 months directly supervising conventional munitions activities. 3.2 Basic Certification. The following are mandatory for basic certification: Completion of a formal AETC entry-level training course, 24 months managing conventional munitions maintenance activities, nuclear weapons maintenance activities, or ICBM maintenance activities, and completion of CFETP requirements. Additionally, commanders may enroll officers in enlisted 2W or 2M Career Development Courses to accelerate and enhance an officer’s technical knowledge. 3.3 Intermediate Level. This represents the period between the 24-month basic certification and senior certification. 3.3.1 To develop a firm foundation in the maintenance career fields, two of the first three assignments should be in a 21M position. Commanders, supervisors and the individual officer

13

should strive to fulfill the intent of the functional pairing concept. Functional pairings are normally ICBM – Nuclear or Conventional – Nuclear. Commanders should take advantage of local broadening opportunities between 21M shreds as situations allow. NOTE: Initial skills training availability should be arranged before broadening decisions are finalized. Table 1. Munitions & Missile Maintenance Officer Certification

3.3.2. After broadening their knowledge, experience and expertise within the 21M career field, Developmental Assignment (DA) opportunities should be considered. Primary DA cross flow should be into aircraft maintenance or logistics readiness, but other opportunities include AETC instructor, acquisition, Air Logistics Complex (ALC), and aerospace power employment. Timing and needs of the AF as well as individual goals will determine DA opportunities for each individual. Back-to-back development/cross flow assignments are strongly discouraged. Commanders may take advantage of local 21A/21M cross flow and broadening opportunities as situations allow, though these should be reciprocal and not cause a shortage in a unit. NOTE: Initial skills training availability should be arranged before cross flow decisions are finalized. 3.4. Senior Certification. An officer will be eligible for the Senior Certification at the 7-year point provided they have been functionally paired to a second 21M specialty shred and have also completed the Maintenance Officer Intermediate Course (MOIC) or have graduated the Advanced Maintenance and Munitions Operations School (AMMOS). With prior coordination and approval from the Group Commander, ARC members may extend this requirement up to 36 months to accommodate their unique time availability constraints. All CFETP requirements must be complete for the officer to be eligible for the award of the senior certification. 3.4.1. As a general rule, time spent outside of core duties (SOS, OTS, ROTC, USAFA instructor, etc.) does not count towards the award of senior/master certification. However, time spent outside of core duties that can be related to the 21M career field (certain staff jobs, nuclear fellowships, etc.) can count towards senior/master certification. Group Commanders (or equivalent) will determine what does/does not count with respect to individual officers and have waiver authority for time spent in out-of-core duties. 3.5. Master Certification. An officer will be eligible for the master certification at the 15-year point in the specialty. Officers within this level of competency are prepared to assume broader

15

leadership roles. 3.6. Grandfather Plan. When the 21M AFSC was formed in 1998, a plan was developed to transition officers in various year groups into the new training scheme. Refer to Table 2 for the Grandfather timeline or consult your MAJCOM Functional Manager.

Table 2. Grandfather Plan

The CAPP course quotas are filled by the MAJCOMs through the Air Force Training Management System (AFTMS) under course code ACC AFCOMAC, PDS code 8RM. The Senior Officer Orientation Course (SOO) is applicable to senior officers (O-4 and above), serving as squadron commanders, logistics/operations group commanders, wing commanders, and headquarters-level staff officers/division chiefs/directors and civilian equivalents in logistics and operations disciplines. MAJCOM munitions functional managers manage SOO course quotas. TDY expenses for both courses are funded by Air Combat Command (ACC) through the 9th Munitions Squadron. 4.5.1. Combat Ammunition Planning and Production (CAPP) Course. This course consists of two weeks of academic instruction in a seminar environment, followed by a five-day practical exercise. During the academic portion of the course, the students edit an existing Munitions Employment Plan (MEP) which they implement during the practical phase. The students are exposed to all the steps and source documents necessary to develop an effective plan. The capstone event, Exercise IRON FLAG is a practical exercise that allows the students to implement their MEP in support of an exercise Air Tasking Order (ATO) including both fighter and bomber scenarios.

22

4.5.1.1. 21M officers should complete CMOC prior to attending CAPP and 21MXA officers have priority over 21MXN/I officers for attendance. 21MXA officers in their first assignment ideally should attend CAPP between 12 and 24 months of duty as mission permits. The objectives call for the officer to be rotated through as many of the Exercise IRON FLAG production operations as possible to gain an understanding of each production function. 4.5.2. Senior Officer Orientation (SOO) Course. This 2-day course provides an orientation in the concepts and techniques involved in combat munitions planning and production. The course takes place during the CAPP course Exercise IRON FLAG practical exercise so senior officers can observe and participate in a mass munitions production operation. 5. Air Force Enlisted Career Development Courses. 5.1. Officers are eligible to enroll in CDCs. Enrollment is processed through MilPDS at the base education office or through the unit training manager who has MilPDS access. Enlisted CDCs are exceptional sources of both technical and process information and can greatly increase the technical competency of the 21M CGO workforce. Officers are encouraged to pursue these outstanding courses, as they apply to their duties, to deepen their technical knowledge and commanders are encouraged to leverage these resources and integrate them into their officers’ training plan. 6.

PART II Section C – SUPPORT MATERIAL 1. Reference List. Attachment 1 lists the most frequently referenced instructions, directives, technical orders, and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP). The list is not exhaustive but provides a good starting point for training of officers. 2. Follow-on Unit Training. 2.1. Concept. Ideally officers should complete AETC formal training prior to unit training. The intent of follow-on unit training is to provide a local training plan to familiarize officers with unit specific procedures and operations. Follow-on unit training consists of the core tasks identified by an asterisk (*) within the 21MX CFETP along with unit-identified tasks at the discretion of the unit commander. Officers will not be upgraded to a fully qualified level until satisfactorily completing both AETC formal training and CFETP core tasks. One successful occurrence does not necessarily constitute understanding of the training objective, but it should provide the individual with a basic understanding of subject areas. 2.2. Training Plan. The instructional design for unit level training is determined locally. Appropriate lesson plans, support materials, and instructor guidance are the responsibility of each unit. Unit training may include work center and field visits, task observations, classroom instruction, self-study, supervisor/commander interaction to meet training objectives. Squadrons/groups should produce a local Maintenance Officer Training Plan (MOTP) to standardize and formalize follow-on unit training processes. 2.3. Training Period. The unit must structure and conduct training to ensure the officer completes all training within 24 months (cumulative) after assignment to a 21M position (may be extended to 36 months for ARC). If an officer moves from one shred to another (e.g., I to N) before 24 months has elapsed, the officer’s timeline for the new shred resets, and the officer will have 24 months from the effective date of duty change to accomplish training requirements for the new shred. Units must ensure officer movement between shreds does not prevent an officer from obtaining at least 24 cumulative months in at least 1 shred prior to a PCS. 2.4. Familiarization Training and Workcenter Visits. Officers must be scheduled to observe familiarization tasks from start to finish. Supervisors will ensure pre-task, task, and post-task actions are included. Training may be conducted concurrent with team training operations or during routine maintenance operations. Instructors/supervisors will ensure officers understand the fundamentals of each task, why it is performed, associated hazards, and the overall system impact. Unit training should also include work center visits. Visits consist of tours of all maintenance work centers and key support agencies as determined by the commander/supervisor. 2.5. Training Documentation. Document the officer’s training in TBA. 2.5.1. Supervisors will review training progress with trainees at an initial interview within 60 days of the trainee’s assignment to the unit and then every 30 days thereafter while the member is in training.

27

2.5.1.1. During the interview the supervisor and trainee will discuss core task requirements to be completed within 24 months after assignment to a 21M position. Core task requirements are identified in Part II, Section C, paragraphs 3.1 – 3.4 by an asterisk (*). At a minimum, officers will complete all core tasks identified in paragraph 3.1 plus all core tasks identified in their respective shred (A/I/N). Unit commanders can identify additional tasks not labeled as core tasks at their discretion (also to be completed within 24 months). The initial review shall be documented as a journal entry in TBA. 2.5.2. For the Basic Certification Training Task List, supervisors will review training progress with trainees quarterly. Supervisors will conduct the review on this basis until all items are complete. Reviews shall be documented as a journal entry in TBA. 2.5.3. Grandfathered Record Documentation. Document Grandfathered tasks/training via journal entries in TBA. 2.5.4. The matrix identified in paragraph 3 (this section) is intended for the officer to use throughout his/her training experience. It was designed to accompany the officer during training events for ease of initial documentation prior to input into TBA.

Chapter 1

21X SPECIAL PROGRAMS OVERVIEW

1.1. Purpose: Special programs provide targeted developmental education and/or career broadening developmental assignments for officers. Development Team (DT) special program selections are some of the earliest opportunities for officers to begin building a complementary logistics skill set through advanced academic degree or career broadening programs. Descriptions, purpose, criteria, selection, responsibilities, and requirements of each 21X Special Program are specified in this document. Due to the diversity of missions throughout the Air Force, this guidance provides only common, required actions. Specific programs may require Major Command (MAJCOM), Numbered Air Force (NAF), wing, maintenance group, mission support group, or squadron supplements to this guidance.

1.2. Special Program Selection Process: The special program selection process is a cyclical process focused on balancing logistics officer development and mission execution at base and MAJCOM staff-level positions. The process begins with a special programs review in the winter and ends with the fall DT meeting which primarily focuses on special program selection. Figure 1.1. below provides a visual representation of the overall process.

1.2.1. Step 1: AFPC/DP2LL evaluates special program criteria for the upcoming year. This evaluation occurs during the Nov-Jan timeframe and primarily focuses on optimizing year group and time-in-service criteria with respect to career field health for a particular DT year. This step ensures deliberate year

67

groups are targeted for developmental opportunities and facilitates continuous improvement by reviewing the previous cycle for what worked well and for what needs to be improved upon for the upcoming cycle.

1.2.2. Step 2: AFPC publishes the Advanced Academic Degree (AAD) and Special Experience Exchange Duties (SPEED) Selection Process Guide for the appropriate year. SPEED guidance informs officers of the different developmental opportunities available and outlines eligibility criteria so officers and their raters can accomplish ADPs to express interest in various programs. SPEED guidance is published during the Feb-Apr timeframe with quotas.

1.2.3. Step 3: AF/A4L approves the 21X Logistics Manpower Allocation Plan (LMAP) during the summer DT for the following year. AFPC/DP2LL prepares the LMAP and provides AF/A4L with recommended fill rates based on CSAF priorities. The fill rates will not be further degraded by special program entrants. They will be set/approved with special program entrants factored in. For example, a 75% fill rate for 21A/M/R flight commanders means that positions will be filled at 75% with special programs entrants already factored in (as opposed to 75% plus a special program decrement on top of that). This step provides AF/A4L with risk assessment for any given DT year with respect to fill rates.

1.2.4. Step 4: AFPC/DP2LL develops the special program quota recommendations. This is done by integrating year group and time-in-service criteria identified in step 1, LMAP fill rates identified in step 3, special program requirements identified in this guidance and career field health for each logistics Air Force Specialty Code AFSC (21A/M/R). This integration activity is an end-to-end assessment intended to balance logistic officer development and mission execution in the field by ensuring sufficient forces remain after special program entrants are modeled as “gained” into their respective programs.

1.2.5. Step 5: AFPC/DP2LL presents special program quotas as a recommendation to the executive DT body that convenes prior to the fall DT. This recommendation will include quotas for each program by AFSC along with pros and cons as it relates to career field health. The executive DT approves special program quotas. If, for a given year, it is not feasible to conduct an executive DT prior to the fall DT, special programs quotas can be approved virtually by executive DT members, or by AF/A4L under advisement of the 21A/M/R Career Field Managers (CFM).

1.2.6. Step 6: Career field DT members score records/select special program entrants in accordance with quotas approved in step 5.

1.3. Additional Duties and Deployments

1.3.1. Expectations: Additional duties for officers in the program should be minimal, should complement the learning experience, and only be assigned with the approval of the assigned mentor. 1.3.2. Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) Posturing Guidance: Officers in 21X Special Programs are considered to be in training status and, as a general rule, unavailable for deployment during their respective program. Officers in a 21X Special Program will be assigned Deployment Availability Code (DAV) 64 in Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) for the duration of their assignment to the program. Upon selection to attend the 21X Special Program, unit commanders initiate the approval process for a DAV 64 on the individual prior to the start of the member’s AEF vulnerability period--usually 7-8 months prior to the start of their postured AEF rotation period--in order to preclude any

68

potential deployment taskings. Headquarters Air Force (HAF) Functional Area Managers (FAMs) must provide specific guidance to respective MAJCOM FAMs to ensure this process is managed correctly. If the officer’s experience and development support filling a deployment requirement, remove the DAV 64 IAW AFIs 10-401, Air Force Operations Planning and Execution and 10-403, Deployment Planning and Execution. 1.3.3. Active Duty Service Commitment (ADSC): Special Program officers incur a three year ADSC upon completion of the program as described in AFI 36-2107, Active Duty Service Commitments. To satisfy ADSC requirements IAW AFI 36-2107, Special Program officers can complete the program one of three ways: successful completion of all training requirements; self-elimination from the program; or removal from the program for the good of the Air Force. Officers who self-eliminate from the program or are removed from the program for the good of the Air Force will return to their core AFSC career field. Exception, the Base Level Broadening Program (BLBP) does not incur a three year ADSC; it is an assignment and the officer will incur a two year ADSC with the Permanent Change of Station (PCS).

Chapter 4

ACQUISITION AND LOGISTICS EXPERIENCE EXCHANGE TOUR

4.1. Program Description: The Acquisition and Logistics Experience Exchange Tour (ALEET) program is a three year developmental program, where officers are competitively selected and developed as acquisition leaders. The ALEET program is designed to facilitate the crossflow of highly competitive officers between acquisition and operational logistics career fields. The ALEET Program was designed to enhance operational awareness amongst acquisition officers and to experience “real world operations” from a user’s perspective. Acquisition officers heighten their ability to perform later as an acquisition officer by experiencing the Air Force from a user's perspective. Logistics officers contribute real-world experiences to product and logistics centers to enhance the fielding and support of systems to better meet our users' needs. This program is supplemented by the Operational Experience (OPEX) Program which provides new accessions, designated as acquisition officers, with an operational tour their first assignment.

4.2. Eligible Career Fields: The ALEET program is an AF/A4-sponsored program that applies to officers in the following Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSCs): 21A (Aircraft Maintenance), 21M (Munitions and Missile Maintenance), 61X (Scientist), 62E (Engineer), 63A (Acquisition Manager), 64P (Contracting), and 65F (Financial Management). 4.3. Eligibility Criteria: Development teams consider officers in the 21A, 21M, 61X, 62E, 63A, 64P and 65F career fields with the following qualifications:

4.3.1. Officers must be in the target window of four to six years of commissioned service upon entry and must be fully qualified in their core AFSCs.

4.3.1.1. 21A officers should have flightline and back shop experience. 4.3.1.2. 21M Officers should have functional pairing completed or enough time upon completion of the program to be functional paired prior to meeting their Major (O-4) selection board year. 4.3.2. Officers in the 61X, 62E, 63A and 64P AFSCs must have Acquisition Professional Development Program (APDP) Level II commensurate with their career field prior to entering the program. 4.3.3. Officers must have two years’ Time on Station (TOS). If overseas, the member’s Date Eligible for Return from Overseas (DEROS) must coincide with the summer move cycle.

4.4. 21A/M AFSC Selection: Officers use their Airman Development Plan (ADP) to communicate their desire to participate in the ALEET to DTs. Additionally, they must e-mail the 21A/M assignment team of their interest to apply for ALEET. Officers who are outside the eligibility criteria and wish to compete, may request waiver information from their assignment team. This is an “opt-in” program meaning one must be a volunteer for the program to be selected. The 21A and 21M DTs are responsible for selecting officers to attend ALEET during their Fall DT meetings. See paragraph, 1.2. Special Program Selection Process for program timeline and processes to meet assignment timelines.

73

4.4.1. Officers and their commanders are notified of their eligibility for ALEET through an email or Assignment Management System (AMS) Robot message from AFPC or Automated Message System (MyPers) message from AFPC. 4.5. Commander’s Involvement: Commanders are encouraged to indicate officers’ desires to attend ALEET in the ADP and in officer evaluations. Commanders are expected to be the first line of screening and should only nominate officers for broadening if they have strong credentials and experience.

4.6. Allocations: AFPC/DP2LL identifies special program quotas, presents them to the Executive DT for approval, and the DT select 21A and 21M officers as referenced in paragraph, 1.2. Special Program Selection Process. The decided upon quota will be filled at the Fall DT. An appropriate number of alternates are designated to fill the potential vacancies. Quotas will be announced during the Fall DT out-brief.

4.7. Training and Certification: 4.7.1. ALEET selected officers will attend the 63A initial skills training preferably enroute to their ALEET assignment. If unable to schedule the course enroute, the officer should attend within the first six months of arriving at their ALEET assignment. 4.7.2. ALEET officers should complete 63Ax Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) requirements and use the CFETP as a guide for their training. 4.7.3. All 21A/M ALEET officers will obtain a Level II APDP Certification in Program Management (PM) for program completion. Students are placed in a PM coded position, complete the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) training (see courses at http://icatalog.dau.mil), and perform work as a Program Manager in order to obtain the APDP Level II PM certification. Failure to complete all required courses may impact the officer’s follow-on assignment and/or completion of the program. To ensure ALEET officers are placed in a PM coded position and are placed as priority 1 for DAU courses, the Unit Manning Document (UMD) must reflect the correct acquisition codes in the Manpower Planning and Execution System (MPES) to properly feed the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS). 4.7.3.1. Minimum requirements to obtain an APDP PM Level I certification is to occupy a PM acquisition coded position for one year of acquisition experience with cost, schedule, and performance responsibilities as outlined IAW the current DAU Catalog. When occupying a PM acquisition coded position, an ALEET officer performs work in a designated acquisition organization to receive credit towards their Level I APDP certification. 4.7.3.2. Minimum requirements to obtain PM Level II certification include occupying a PM-coded position, two years in program management with cost, schedule, and performance responsibilities and completion of courses as outlined IAW the current DAU Catalog.

74

4.7.3.3. 21A and 21M officers serve one developmental acquisition assignment in a 6XX position. The exchange duration will not exceed three years. Participants are required to return to their core AFSC following the developmental assignment. 4.8. ALEET Assignment: DTs/AFPC assignment teams manage assignments in concert with developmental plans for individual officers. 21X ALEET officers should be assigned to a program office within an Aircraft, Munitions or Agile Combat Support Program Executive Office. 21A officers should be assigned to key Mission Design Series (MDS) Directorates and 21M officers should be assigned to key Air Armament Directorates (21MxA), ICBM Systems Directorates (21MxI), or the Nuclear Weapons Center (21MxN).
