COMMAND AND CONTROL BATTLE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONSAFSC 1C5X1CAREER FIELD EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLANPREFACE1. This Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is a comprehensive education and training documentthat identifies life-cycle education and training requirements, training support resources, and minimum core taskrequirements for this specialty. The CFETP provides personnel a clear career path to success and instills rigor inall aspects of career field training.2. The CFETP consists of two parts; supervisors plan, manage, and control training within the specialty usingboth parts of the plan.2.1. Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty. Section A explains howindividuals will use the plan; Section B identifies career field progression information, duties and responsibilities,training strategies, and career field path; Section C associates each level with specialty qualifications (knowledge,education, experience, training, and other); and Section D indicates resource constraints. Some examples arefunds, manpower, equipment, facilities; Section E identifies transition training guide requirements for SSgtthrough MSgt.2.2. Part II includes the following: Section A identifies the Specialty Training Standard (STS) and includes duties,tasks, Technical References to support training, Air Education and Training Command (AETC) conducted training,wartime course and core tasks and correspondence course requirements; Section B: contains the Course ObjectiveList and training standards supervisors use to determine if Airmen satisfied training requirements. Section C:identifies available support materials. An example is a Qualification Training Package (QTP) which may bedeveloped to support proficiency training. Section D: identifies a training course index supervisors can use todetermine resources available to support training. Included here are both mandatory and optional courses. SectionE: identifies Major Command (MAJCOM) unique training requirements supervisors can use to determine additionaltraining required for the associated qualification needs. At unit level, supervisors and trainers use Part II to identify,plan, and conduct training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan.3. Using guidance provided in this CFETP ensures individuals in AFSC 1C5X1 receive effective and efficienttraining at the appropriate points in their career. This plan enables us to train today’s work force for tomorrow’sjobs.3

CFETP 1C5X1, 1 June 2020PART ISECTION A - GENERAL INFORMATION1. Purpose. This CFETP provides information necessary for Air Force Career Field Managers (AFCFM),MAJCOM Functional Managers (MFMs), commanders, training managers, supervisors, and trainers to plan,develop, manage, and conduct an effective and efficient 1C5X1 career field training program. The plan outlines thetraining individuals in AFSC 1C5X1 should receive in order to develop and progress throughout their career. Thisplan identifies initial skills, upgrade, qualification, advanced and proficiency training. For the purpose of this plan, itis for initial skills training only. Initial skills training is the Air Force Specialty (AFS)-specific training anindividual receives upon entry into the Air Force or upon retraining into this specialty for award of the 3-skill level.The CFETP has several purposes—some are:1.1. Serves as a management tool to plan, manage, conduct, and evaluate a career field training program. Also, itis used to help 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 this specialty and recommendseducation and training throughout each phase of an individual’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 that impact full implementation of the desired career field trainingprogram.2. Uses. The plan is used by MFMs and supervisors at all levels to ensure comprehensive and cohesive trainingprograms are available for each individual in the specialty.2.1. AETC training personnel develop or revise formal resident, nonresident, field, and exportable training basedupon requirements established by the user and documented in Part II of the CFETP. They will also work with theAFCFM to develop acquisition strategies for obtaining resources needed to provide the identified training.2.2. MFMs ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory initial, upgrade, and proficiencyrequirements. On-the-job Training, resident training, and contract training or exportable courses can satisfyidentified requirements. MAJCOM-developed training to support this AFSC must be identified for inclusion intothis plan.2.3. Each individual completes the mandatory training requirements specified in this plan. The list of courses inPart II will be used as a reference to support training.Coordination and Approval. The AFCFM is the approval authority. Also, the AFCFM will initiate an annual reviewof this document to ensure currency and accuracy. MAJCOM representatives and AETC training personnel willidentify and coordinate on the career field training requirements.SECTION B - CAREER PROGRESSION AND INFORMATION3. Specialty Description.

CFETP 1C5X1, 1 June 20204. Skill/Career Progression. Adequate training and timely progression from the apprentice to the superintendentlevel play an important role in the Air Force’s ability to accomplish its mission. It is essential that everyoneinvolved in training do his or her part to plan, manage, and conduct an effective training program. The guidanceprovided in this part of the CFETP ensures each individual receives viable training at appropriate points in theircareer.4.1. Apprentice (3-Skill Level).

A superintendent can expect to fill positions aslisted in the AFH 36-2618 and career field pyramid. Additional training in the areas of training development,budget, manpower, resources, and personnel management should be pursued through continuing education.5. Training Decisions. The CFETP uses a building block approach (simple to complex) to encompass the entirespectrum of training requirements for the 1C5X1 career field. The spectrum includes a strategy for when, where,and how to meet the training requirements. The strategy should be apparent and affordable to reduce duplication oftraining and eliminate a disjointed approach to training. Training decisions were made at the June 2019 SpecialtyTraining Requirements Team (STRT) forum, hosted by the 334 TRS at Keesler AFB, Mississippi.5.1. Initial Skills Training. Initial skills training (IST) is developed and taught by AETC. Upon completionof Basic Military Training, Airmen will complete the Command and Control Battle Management OperationsApprentice Course is mandatory for award of the 3-skill level. Key STRT outcomes for IST are; updatedC2BMO occupational competencies, updated references, review/update of 1C5 portion of the AFECD,removing redundancies in training, and a restructured Specialty Training Standard focused on producingAirmen training/qualified ready to do the mission quicker and more efficiently.5.2.
