Squadron Commander Involvement Program

Abstract

An indepth analysis of the literature that deals with the role of the squadron commander in helping his or her officers with their assignments leads to the conclusion that there is a need in officer professional development for close career guidance and career counseling by the squadron commander. The draft Air Force Regulation 36-23 provides the very basics to establish a program that requires squadron commander involvement in the officer evaluation system,the preparation of the Officer Assignment Worksheet, AF Form 90, and the counseling sessions that are required in both of these areas. There is evidence by both the declining rated retention and the dissatisfiers cited in studies that indicate that squadron commanders have to play an important part in officer assignments and professional development.
