PART I
PREFACE
1. This publication implements DAFI 36-2670, Total Force Development. This Career Field Education and
Training Plan (CFETP) is a comprehensive core-training document. It identifies life-cycle education and training
requirements, training support resources and minimum core task requirements for the Security Forces (SF) specialty.
This CFETP provides all SF personnel [active duty, reserve and Air National Guard (ANG)] a clear career path to
success.

2. This CFETP consists of two parts; both parts of the plan assist supervisors in planning, managing and controlling
training within the career field.

2.1. Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty. Section A explains how everyone
will use the plan. Section B identifies career field path progression information, duties and responsibilities and training
strategies. Section C associates each skill level with specialty qualifications (knowledge, training, education, experience
and other). Section D indicates resource constraints (for example: funds, manpower, equipment and facilities). Section E
contains the transition training guide.

2.2. Part II includes the following: Section A identifies the Specialty Training Standard(s) and includes duties, tasks,
training references to support training, AETC conducted training, wartime course and core task and correspondence course
requirements. Supervisors will use Section A to document training and certifying official use to certify training. Section
B contains the course objective list/training standards (Not Used). Section C identifies available on-the-job support
materials provided by Air Force Handbooks (AFHs) and Security Forces Training Reference Guides (SFTRG). Section
D contains the training course index, identifying where supervisors can find and determine resources available to
support training, including both mandatory and optional courses. Section E is reserved to identify major command
(MAJCOM) unique training requirements. Unit level supervisors and trainers use Part II to identify, plan and conduct
training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan. The core Specialty Training Standard (STS) for AFSC 3P0X1,
Appendix A; Military Working Dog STS (AFSC 3P0X1A) Appendix B; and Combat Arms (AFSC 3P0X1B) Appendix
C, identifies the duties, tasks and technical references required to support unit training; establish Air Education and
Training Command (AETC) training requirements; identify core/wartime tasks, Department of Defense (DoD)
Instruction 5525.15, Law Enforcement (LE) Standards and Training in the DoD; and identify correspondence course
requirements. At the unit level, supervisors and trainers will use Part II to identify, plan, and conduct training
commensurate with the overall goals of this plan.

3. CFETP guidance ensures individuals in Security Forces receive effective and efficient training at the appropriate
point in their careers. This plan will enable us to train today's work force for tomorrow's jobs.

SECTION A - GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Purpose. Air Force Career Field Managers (AFCFM), commanders, training managers, supervisors, trainers and
the training wings use this CFETP to plan, develop, manage and conduct an effective career field training program.
This plan outlines the training individuals in AFSC 3P0X1/A/B must receive to develop and progress throughout their
careers and become proficient. It identifies initial skills, upgrade, qualification, advanced and continuation training
requirements. Initial skills training is the AFS specific training an individual receives upon entry into the Air Force,
retraining into this specialty or lateral training into either the A or B AFSCs. AETC provides this training at Joint Base
San Antonio-Lackland, TX for AFSC 3P0X1/A/B. Upgrade training identifies the mandatory task qualification
requirements, required for award of the 5-, 7-, and 9-skill levels. Duty Position Qualification training is actual hands-
on task performance and demonstration training designed to qualify a Defender in a specific duty position. This training
program occurs continuously during a Defender’s career. It provides the performance skills and knowledge training
required to do the job. The CFETP also serves the following purposes:

1.1. Serves as a management tool to plan, manage, conduct and evaluate a career field training program. It also helps
supervisors identify training at the appropriate point in an individual's career.

1.2. Identifies task and knowledge training requirements for each skill level in these specialties and recommends
training/education throughout each phase of a Defender’s career.

1.3. Lists training courses available in the specialty, identifies sources of training and the training delivery
method.

1.4. Identifies major resource constraints which impact implementation of desired career field training
program.

2. Use. Functional managers, commanders and supervisors at all levels will use this plan to develop comprehensive
and cohesive training programs for each individual in these specialties.

2.1. AETC training personnel develop/revise formal resident and exportable training based on requirements
established by users and documented in Part II of this CFETP. They will also work with the AFCFM to develop
acquisition strategies for obtaining resources needed to provide the identified training.

2.2. The Air Force Security Forces Training Working Group will ensure MAJCOM training programs complement the
CFETP mandatory initial skills and upgrade requirements. OJT, resident training, contract training or exportable
courseware/courses satisfy identified requirements. MAJCOMs must identify MAJCOM developed training to support
this AFS for inclusion in this plan and must not duplicate training already available.

2.3. Each individual will complete the mandatory training requirements specified in this plan. The list of courses in
Part II will be used as a reference to support training. Headquarters, Air Force develops publications on specific SF
subjects, procedures or equipment. MAJCOMs or local units select and localize these publications to fit their needs.

3. Coordination and Approval. HQ AF/A4S develops this CFETP. The approval authority is the AFCFM. The Air
Force Security Forces Training Working Group and AETC training personnel will identify and coordinate on the career
field training requirements. The AETC Training Pipeline Manager will initiate an annual review of this document by
the AFCFM, AETC and Air Force Security Forces Training Working Group to ensure currency and accuracy.

Identifiers (RI), or professional specialty course codes. They identify training, skills, or experience as critical to the
assignment match, or force management needs and no other identification is appropriate or available. SEIs can be used
to rapidly identify and track an experienced resource to meet unique circumstances, contingency requirements, or
management needs. Refer to AFI 36-2101, for a more detailed explanation of SEIs. A complete listing of SEIs can be
found on the Air Force Personnel Center’s web site, in the Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory (AFECD).
