Technical Skill Training in the Reserve Components of the Air Force.

Abstract

This report describes the current Air Force approach to building and sustaining technical logistics skills in both the Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve. In the past decade, the Air Force has grown more dependent on the logistics specialists of the Air Guard and Air Force Reserve. Airmen assigned to the Air Reserve Forces now comprise a significant portion of the personnel in many Air Force specialties, and constitute a majority in a few instances. The purpose of this work is to assess the suitability and adequacy of the policies and programs which support technical skill training for the Reserve Component. We address only the programs dealing with the development and sustainment of certain important technical logistics skills of enlisted personnel, rather than the training programs for general management/supervisory skills or collective unit proficiency. We have concentrated on seven Air Force logistics specialties in the Selected Reserve of the Air Force, and have excluded consideration of the Individual Ready Reserve.
