General Purpose Vehicle Mechanic Career Ladder, AFSCs 47232, 47252, and 47275.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a detailed Air Force Occupational Survey involving the training requirements for first-enlistment personnel in the General Purpose Vehicle Mechanic (AFS 472X2) specialty. The project was initiated in response to a need for current job information in the career field. Training emphasis and task difficulty ratings were collected from senior AFSC 47252 (General Purpose Vehicle Mechanic) personnel and AFSC 47275 (General Purpose Vehicle and Body Maintenance Supervisor) members, to help identify both common and vehicle-specific training requirements. Tasks performed by the majority of first-enlistment personnel were not specific to any one particular type of vehicle. Before training documents and programs are revised, the issue of cross-utilization among the vehicle maintenance specialties should be addressed. A Utilization and Training workshop on all vehicle maintenance specialties may be necessary to address the utilization issues and to assess current and projected training needs and programs.
