White Jet Process Development

 CSAF directed DTs to approve all officers sent to UPT assignments  MAF DT Chair requested Wings to submit 2 categories of names to the DT:

  • Aircraft Commanders that should be added to the list
  • Instructors not endorsed

 Board scores records needing decision

  • Grading done on a yes/no scale

 List of MAF DT approved/disapproved officers is kept by AFPC, DT & A1K  Point of Emphasis: This is ONLY a vetting process to identify potential

candidates for UPT assignments. This does not thwart the normal assignment matching process between the member, their Commander and AFPC

 The DT vectored 415 Major selects in the 2010 year group promoted during the 0418D board

 “Well Above Peers”

  • “At this point in your career, your record has been assessed to be in the top of your peer group. The MAF DT considers you a Top Tier

Officer and is flight following you for future leadership opportunities with a possibility of attending IDE in-residence. Meet with your leadership to discuss developmental opportunities such as Joint Staff, HQ Staff, Air Operations Center, Sq/DO, and deployed positions.”

 “Above Peers”

  • “At this point in your career, your record has been assessed to be in the top of your peer group. The MAF DT evaluated that you clearly met

the high expectations of performance and development asked of its CGOs. As an FGO, it is important to further demonstrate leadership and problem solving skills at tactical and operational levels. Meet with your leadership to discuss developmental opportunities such as Group/Wing level jobs, staff above Wing level, Air Operations Center, and deployed positions.”

 “On Par with Peers”

  • “At this point in your career, your record has been assessed to be in the middle of your peer group. The MAF DT evaluated that you met the

expectations of performance and development asked of its CGOs. As an FGO, it is important to further demonstrate leadership and problem solving skills at tactical and operational levels. Meet with your leadership to discuss developmental opportunities such as Group/Wing level jobs, staff above Wing level, Air Operations Center, and deployed positions.”

 “Below Peers”

  • “At this point in your career, your record has been assessed to be in the bottom of your peer group. While the MAF DT assessed that you

have met expectations of performance and development asked of its CGOs, in this competitive environment, your strength of record must continually improve. As an FGO, it is important to further demonstrate leadership and problem solving skills at tactical and operational

  • levels. Meet with your leadership to discuss developmental opportunities such as Group/Wing level jobs, staff above Wing level, and

deployed positions.”

Line of the Air Force (LAF) Developmental Category Reconfiguration

As of 21 Oct 19

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Air Mobility Warriors – Projecting Decisive Strength and Delivering Hope… Always!

BLUF: Developmental Category—A grouping of officers who compete among themselves for promotion

 Prior to Oct 19, the categories were: Line of the Air Force (LAF), Judge Advocate General Corps

(LAF-J), Medical Corps (MC), Dental Corps (DC), Chaplain Corps (CHAP), Medical Service Corps (MSC), Biomedical Sciences Corps (BSC), and Nurse Corps (NC)

 10 U.S.C. § 621 (RegAF) and § 14005 (USAFR) – the Secretary of each military department shall

establish categories for promotion. Officers in the same category shall compete among themselves for promotion.

 DoDI 1320.14 – Service Secretaries will establish categories, as required, to manage the career

development and promotion of certain groups of officers. In relation to the requirements of these

  • fficer categories, separate career management is desirable based on their specialized education,

training, or experience, and often relatively narrow career field utilization.

33

What is a Developmental Category?

slide-34
SLIDE 34

Air Mobility Warriors – Projecting Decisive Strength and Delivering Hope… Always!

Effective Oct 19, the LAF (active component) has expanded into 6 developmental categories

What this means: Instead of competing for promotion against officers from 40+ different core specialties,

  • fficers will compete for promotion against officers within their developmental category

34

Way Ahead

Developmental Category Composition Air Operations & Special Warfare (LAF - A) Pilot (11X), Combat Systems (12X), Air Battle Manager (13B), Special Tactics (13C), Combat

Rescue (13D), Tactical Air Control Party (13L), Remotely Piloted Aircraft Pilot (18X)

Space Operations (LAF - S) Space Operations (13S), Astronaut (13A) Nuclear & Missile Operations (LAF - N) Nuclear and Missile Operations (13N) Information Warfare (LAF - I) Information Operations (14F), Intelligence (14N), Weather (15W), Cyber Operations (17X),

Public Affairs (35X), Operations Research Analyst (61A), Special Investigations (71S)

Combat Support (LAF - C)

Airfield Operations (13M), Aircraft Maintenance (21A), Munitions and Missile Maintenance (21M), Logistics Readiness (21R), Security Forces (31P), Civil Engineering (32E), Force Support (38F), Contracting (64P), Financial Management (65X)

Force Modernization (LAF - F) Chemist/Nuclear Chemist (61C), Physicist/Nuclear Engineer (61D), Developmental Engineer

(62E), Acquisition Management (63A)

Note: Once fully established as a Core AFSC, 13O (Multi-Domain Command and Control) will be added to a category.

Next Steps

 Promotion Opportunity: The approximate percentage of

  • fficers in a cohort group that may be selected for

promotion—published before competing for promotion

 SecAF Memorandum of Instruction (MOI): Outlines broad

AF values, expectations, and considerations for officers— published annually and posted on MyPers

 Career Development Briefs: A brief from every career field

  • utlining progression milestones, development guidance,

and unique considerations (explanation on next slide)

 Officer Selection Brief (OSB): Similar to the OPB/DQHB,

this product includes summary data a promotion board may review on each eligible officer, e.g. PME completion, assignment history, decorations, joint duty—officers receive and review prior to competing for promotion Key Dates Milestones 4 Oct 19 PRF Accounting Date Oct/Nov 19 Detailed Board Guidance Released (via PSDM) Early Dec 19 Publically Release:

  • Promotion Opportunity
  • Updated SecAF MOI
  • Career Development Briefs
  • Updated OSB Format

17 Dec 19 AF Student MLR 2-22 Jan 20 MLR Window 2 Mar 20 Central Selection Board

First implementation of the new developmental categories will be the Mar ‘20 Lt Col Board

Note: Updates to the SecAF MOI, Career Development Briefs, and OSBs will include formal instructor and recruiting duty as coveted part of career advancement

slide-36
SLIDE 36

Air Mobility Warriors – Projecting Decisive Strength and Delivering Hope… Always!

 Career development briefs are generated by functional community leaders, coordinated with each

MAJCOM, and approved by the SecAF on an annual basis

 Briefs include typical career progression milestones, developmental guidance, and other unique

considerations for officers within each core AFSC and/or functional community

 NOTE: Strict adherence to the progression norms and developmental guidance depicted is not a prerequisite for

promotion—promotion is based on performance/demonstrated potential to serve in the next higher grade  Once approved by the SecAF, these briefs will be posted publically on myPers (Dec ‘19)

  •  What these briefs are not…

 A rack and stack of important positions or experiences  A formula for promotion or making High Potential Officers (HPOs)

36

Summary – Career Development Briefs

#1 purpose is for officer career development and planning…also serves as reference material to educate mentors, hiring authorities, and promotion board members about the career field

*This is not a change (status quo) for JAG Corps, Chaplain Corps, and all Medical categories

Promotion Board Procedural Adjustments

Record Distribution:

A promotion board will be presented records by AFSC to encourage full use of the career development briefs and minimize generic discriminators that may be less relevant to some career fields

Floors:

 “Floors” (or minimum quotas)

will be implemented by AFSC when needed—determined by AF needs and approved by SecAF prior to each board

 For Mar ‘20 Lt Col Board, no
