AFLC Process Discipline

What is driving the education/training requirement? (Congress, OSD, AF, etc.)

Does the governing directive specify target audience, frequency, duration, delivery methodology (lecture vs CBT) and/or content (desired learning outcomes) (as applicable)?

Is the education/training provided at other venues?

What is the mission impact/risk of non-compliance (as applicable)?

AETC/A2/3/10 validates objectives and proposed length of training (ancillary)

AU develops objectives (PME)

TFAT annual review process; thereby requiring course owners to review/revalidate existing TFAT (4 Mar 11)

2009 AIRMAN’S TIME ASSESSMENT (ATA) AFTER ACTION REPORT

26 Oct 2009

Ancillary Training Sub-Findings

- AT is too time consuming, cumbersome, and not aligned with operations tempo.

- Wings supporting the AEF missions as enablers, consistently highlighted disconnects between AF-directed frequencies for ES training and COCOM-driven currency requirements.

- Multiple and disparate training systems exits

Total Force Integration

17

Maj Justine CromerAF/A8X



Background: AFLC 2010

AF/A8 feedback from MAJCOM site visits Barrier to integration due to lack of knowledge about the

different components (Reg AF, ARC and Civilian) in the TF

AF/A9 lessons learned reports cite a need to examine TFI training at Air University to ensure the TFI vision and objectives are communicated

A8XF approach to examine the problem, root cause and possible solutions


Total Force Leadership

Background

Lessons Learned Fort Hood: “Preventing Violence/Enhancing Response” – action required by AF/A1 (A8XF partner)

“Finding 74: Air Force leaders lack knowledge about how best to manage Total Force personnel who might pose a threat to themselves or others.” 74.1 Revise applicable professional military education and

professional continuing education programs to include learning outcomes focused on authorities, procedures, and programs that support Total Force teaming and leadership.

74.2 Revise reference materials for officer, enlisted, and civilian members to clarify authorities, procedures, and programs that support Total Force teaming and leadership.



Current Status: Red

Gap Analysis “Current state” – AU talking papers on TF curriculum

PCE programs still under review “Desired state” – Fort Hood 74.1/74.2 Findings

Traditional Total Force topics taught in all forms of PME/PCE Learning focused on component and Joint perspectives, general

knowledge, roles, policy, etc as opposed to managing an integrated force

Topics need updating to reflect TFI focus and Fort Hood requirements


Objective 1: Understand the necessary cultural , organizational and legal differences between Reg AF, ARC, DOD civilian components and contractors

Objective 2: Apply knowledge toward betterment of the AF

Objective 3: Self –directed to lead and mobilize change with increasing interdependencies in the joint and TF environments.

Objective 1: Knowledge, ComprehensionObjective 2: Application levelObjective 3: Value level

Current Status: RedLearning objectives will standardize content and focus outcomes on target audience and meet Fort Hood requirement.

3 learning objectives – WIP

--modify objectives to target CCs and supervisors for officers, enlisted, civilians

--modify objectives to appropriate level of learning

--ensure language covers Fort Hood recommendations




Decisions Required: Learning outcomes: AU Prioritization of venues starting with operational level followed

by appropriate content/method to achieve outcome

Example: Wing CC seminar – 1 week Group CC course – 2 weeks AF Incident Mgt Course – ops/medical/MS/MX focus Commander’s Integration Guide – highlight/condense

AWC ACSC



Views of others: Stakeholder buy-in ongoing with AU/A1DL Potential show-stoppers: unknown

Deliverables/Milestones: 15 April – revised learning outcomes – POC: AU 15 April – content insertion schedule to meet 1 Dec 2011

Topic Title

Current Status: 6 learning objectives developed for accessions training

Gap analysis completed for USAFA and BMT curriculums Gap analysis validated by HAF SMEs

HAF preliminary review concludes curriculums include resilience learning goals

Working with AF SMEs to conduct in depth review with curriculum writers USAFA - 3 of 6 learning goals BMT – 2 of 6 learning goals


Resilience Learning Goals

Learning Goals USAFA BMT

A. Airmen will recognize that physical fitness is a lifestyle that needs to be pursued versus a series of exercises or in response to AF requirements

B. Airmen will recognize the importance of ‘reenergizing’ in order to maximize performance and endurance

C. Airmen will be able to demonstrate the steps of effective problem solving strategies.

42


Resilience Learning Goals

Learning Goals USAFA BMT

D. Airmen will be able to identify how their core values and principles relate to the AF mission and their personal goals/decisions.

E. Airmen will be able to identify the principles of being a good wingman

F. Airmen will be able to identify the impact of leadership of health and quality of life

43


Air Force Resilience

After in depth review, A1SY will address USAFA and BMT curriculum in the following areas:

USAFA curriculum Basic nutrition and nutrition planning Sleep management and good sleep hygiene Elements of effective communication

BMT curriculum Elements of effective communication Shaping group and individual behaviors


Air Force Resilience

Provided for information only No AFLC decisions required at this point

Way Ahead Next step is to work with AETC to conduct gap analysis of

ROTC and OTS curriculum Will bring forward any gaps to the Fall AFLC

AF Risk Management (RM)AFLC Update

Mr. Mark NunnHQ AFSC/SEAI


AF Risk Management (RM)

Current Status: AETC, AU and USAFA curricula coordination

April 2010: Met with Basic Military Training (BMT) , AETC/A3IA (Tech Training), & ADLS reps

Nov 2010: Met with Commissioning, Training and Education Committee (CTEC) reps from ROTC, OTS, USAFA, & ASBC

Discussed AF RM curricula concerns and proposed way ahead Possible tie-in of AF RM Fundamentals CBT (under development)

into current officer accessions curricula This option will be re-visited once CBT is complete to ensure it

meets the intent and scope of officer accession curricula

Ongoing Issues: AF RM guidance revisions in re-write and coordination Curricula changes can be positioned but cannot be implemented

until updated guidance is released to the field



Current Status continued: AF RM Courseware revisions and development

AF Risk Management Fundamentals CBT courseware development in progress (80% complete)

AFSC partnered with Emergency Operations Training Academy (EOTA) on development of CBT modules; progress steady but slower than desired

Joint RM Working Group interactions influencing CBT development (standardized terms, concepts, etc.)

Ongoing-issues Limited manning, resources & joint-service coordination

contributing to delays in CBT development effort Migration of AF RM Fundamentals course to ADLS; must

complete CBT development & testing prior to migration Development of Civilian RM scenario for AF RM

Fundamentals course; in queue but on hold



Decisions Required: None

Views of others: AETC, AU & USAFA engaged on AF RM revitalization efforts

and planned curricula revisions, etc.

Potential show-stoppers None

Deliverables / Milestones: Publication / Guidance revisions (AFPD 90-8: in HAF coord, AFI

90-802: In MAJCOM coord & AFPAM 90-803: In re-write; ECD FY11 AF RM Fundamentals Course in FY11
