Impact of Air Force Systems Command Regulation 36-5 on the 27XX Career Field

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine if the attitudes of acquisition managers have changed over the past year, with respect to the Acquisition Manager Career Development Program, set forth by Air Force Systems Command Regulation (AFSCR) 36-5. A survey approach was used to compare the attitudes of junior (Air Force Specialty Code 2724) and senior (Air Force Specialty Code 2716) officers in relation to the criteria specified in the regulation. The results were then compared to the results of a previous survey to measure changes over time. Both surveys found generally a positive relationship between the attitudes of acquisition management personnel and career development in all areas investigated. These areas include: 1) specialty training, 2) academic background, 3)professional military education, 4) operational experience, and 5) different types of acquisition management experience. Not only were the responses from the previous survey to the current survey similar, the attitudes of junior and senior personnel were also comparable.
