INTRODUCTION

1.1. General Information.

1.1.1. Purpose. This operating instruction provides air and ground operating rules, guidance and procedures for the Air Advisor program.

1.1.2. Responsibilities Assigned. This operating instruction is not a substitute for sound judgment or common sense.

1.1.3. Waivers. Forward Unit Management Division’s (UMD) request for a waiver to this instruction through the chain of command to the Wing Commander. With Wing Commander’s endorsement, route the request to Air Advisor Pipeline Training Management.

Submit all Wing Commander approved waiver requests 30 days prior to the individuals first scheduled training course.

1.2. Scope. This instruction prescribes procedures for the execution of Air Advisor air and ground education and training programs.

1.3. Definitions. Attachment 1 provides terms, abbreviations, and acronyms used in this publication. A complete list of multi-service and AF brevity/acronyms is not included in this document.

1.4. Terminology. When using this instruction, the following applies:

1.4.1. Must or Will—Indicates a mandatory requirement.

1.4.2. Should—Indicates a preferred or recommended method or option.

1.4.3. May—Indicates an acceptable or satisfactory method or option.

1.5 Air Advisor Education and Training Objective. The objective of Air Advisor training programs is to provide general purpose force (GPF) personnel tasked as Air Advisors with the knowledge and skills necessary to assess, train/educate, advise, and assist partner nations (PN) in support of our National Military Strategy. Air Advisor education and training improves the USAF ability to operate in an Irregular Warfare (IW) environment and enhances partnerships and partnership capacity with traditional allies, as well as developing nations of strategic interest to the United States.

1.6. Training Program Development / Execution Process. Air Advisor education and training program development is a requirements driven process. Proper training program development should follow a requirement-validation-acquisition-management/execution process.

1.6.1. Requirement: Theater commanders and MAJCOMs develop a requirement for Air Advisor education and/or training to support their theater objectives.

1.6.2. Validation: Headquarters Air Force (HAF) and Air Components staff will validate all requirements.

1.6.3. Acquisition: The objective of training acquisition is to match education and training as closely as possible with theater’s requirement or Minimum Essential Task List (METL). If required training is not available within the USAF, A3Q will search for possible sources.

Generally, the order of preference is to find a source within the Department of Defense followed by other government agencies (i.e., Department of State, Homeland Security, etc.), and Allied nation armed forces or commercial entities.

1.6.3.1. Education and Training acquired from DoD or other governmental agencies will typically require only a Memorandum of Agreement/Understanding between AETC and the agency. AETC/A3R will assist with the funds transfer process if required.

1.6.3.2. If education and training requirements are through commercial sources, A3Q will contact the appropriate agency to assist in acquiring a suitable contract vehicle.

1.6.4. Management/Execution: Once acquired, active air advisor education and training programs are managed by AETC/A3Q and executed by 19AF/DOZ.

1.6.4.1. Aircrew Evaluations: 19 AF conducts or oversees the conduct of aircrew evaluations. The objective of flight evaluations is to verify personnel are qualified to perform aircrew duties required in their crew position for a given aircraft and results are documented in an AF Form 8 in compliance with AFI 11-202, Vol. 2.

1.6.4.2. Subject Matter Experts: 19 AF aircrew, maintenance and ground training representatives act as subject matter experts and provide inputs on syllabus construction, publication revisions, training programs and any other areas where their expertise is applicable. 19 AF inputs can be made directly to government training providers, however if the training is contractor-provided, 19 AF inputs must be made through the contracting process through the QA and Contracting Officer (CO).

AIR ADVISOR PIPELINE TRAINING MANAGEMENT

2.1. Duties, Roles, and Responsibilities. A3Q is responsible for synchronizing required Air Advisor education and training. This process is done by (1) Identifying Air Advisor positions (2) Obtaining validated education and training requirements (3) Coordinating training (4) Identifying the individual sourced for the tasking (5) Contacting the individual or their Unit Deployment Manager (UDM) to pass the training plan.

2.1.1. Identifying Air Advisor Positions. Air Components give each validated position a unique unit line number (ULN). Each ULN has line remarks associated with the position.

The line remarks identify the ULN as an Air Advisor position. Other program management functions include coordination with Air Advisor course directors and aircrew and maintenance training program managers, maintaining a Community of Practice (CoP) website, writing and maintaining reporting instructions, maintaining Education and Training Announcements, Oracle Training Application (OTA) inputs and country clearances.

2.1.2. Obtaining Validated Education and Training Requirements. Typically, ULNs contain line remarks specifying what training is required. If not, A3Q will request Component to add remarks. To avoid delay, A3Q will begin arranging training based on historical data.

2.1.3. Training Coordination. Plan education and training in advance to meet the required delivery date (RDD) in theater with flight/maintenance training taking priority. AAC, and all other Air Advisor related education and training is scheduled around the flight/maintenance training. If no flight/maintenance training is required, Air Advisor education and training takes priority; all other training is scheduled around Air Advisor education and training.

2.1.3.1. Training conducted outside the CONUS will be administered by AETC/A3QF per the contract issued by AETC/CONS. An A3Q representative will accompany United States Government (USG) trainees to the training location at the onset of each training class. The intended purpose will be to facilitate student focus on training by engaging on logistical and administrative issues during class start-up through the following:

2.1.3.1.1. Assess training provided to the trainees by contractor

2.1.3.1.2. Interface with the contractor and others agencies unique to the training as required

2.1.3.1.3. Resolve any outstanding/pressing issues unique to the class

2.1.3.1.4. Assist with administrative details associated with the beginning of each class

2.1.4. Identifying Tasked Personnel. AFPC sources all Air Advisor positions. A3Q has no role in the tasking of individuals for deployment. A3Q relays required education and dates to AFPC via the Pre-Deployment Training Tool (PDTT). AFPC uses the required training dates as a tool to source personnel to positions in time to meet required training. A3Q should have all Air Advisor education and training loaded in PDTT six months prior to first training date to allow AFPC to accomplish their tasking process. Once AFPC sources the positions, A3Q acquires names through secure sources such as the ULN Search Tool. Non-secure methods to acquire names of tasked personnel include the 2 AF maintained Digital Dashboard, communications with AFPC or the tasked individual, or the tasked individual’s Unit Deployment Manager (UDM) contacts A3Q.

2.2. Coordination with Air Advisor Course Director. A3Q provides the AAC director with a roster one duty day prior to a class start date to verify attendance. The roster will include, as a minimum, the ULN, name and home station of each student. If an individual shows for the course who is not on the roster, the course director will coordinate with A3Q to determine disposition of the student. No-shows will also be coordinated with A3Q who will further investigate. A3Q will determine the Senior Ranking Officer (SRO) and Senior Non- Commissioned Officer (SNCO) for each class, each Area of Responsibility (AOR) and each flight. The SRO will be the course director’s point of contact to pass information and coordinate any changes to each class. The SNCO and AOR SRO will report to the overall SRO. Students should use this chain of command to address issues.

2.3. Coordination with Air Advisor Aircrew and Maintenance Program Managers. Close coordination with all flying training courses is vital to synchronizing training providers and students. This coordination will include coordinating class dates, the number of students and names for each class.

2.4. Air Force Knowledge Now (AFKN) Community of Practice (CoP). A3Q will maintain and update the Air Advisor Training CoP. Significant changes to the CoP will be coordinated with the owning action officer. The Air Advisor CoP contains reporting instructions for all courses, equipment lists and other information needed prior to attending training. Information on the CoP will be updated as required. All documents will be reviewed on an annually. The Air Advisor CoP also contains links to other CoPs and information sources which provide information of value to Air Advisor students. Students should check for changes to the CoP within 7 days of their training.

2.5. Reporting Instructions (RI). A3Q writes and maintains current reporting instructions for each Air Advisor education and training venue. A3Q posts the RI to the Air Advisor Education and Training CoP and the Air Force Reporting Instructions Tool (AFRIT). Coordinate changes with appropriate agencies and A3Q update the CoP and AFRIT.

2.6. Education and Training Course Announcements (ETCA). A3Q writes, updates and maintains all Air Advisor related ETCA.

2.7. Oracle Training Application (OTA). As students are sourced for required education and training, A3Q will register students in OTA. This process will generate a training line number (TLN) which will be recorded for tracking purposes. Registration will also generate an automatic training notification with the training manager at the student’s home station. Tasked personnel relieved of their taskings will have the class cancelled in OTA. This will also generate an automatic cancelation notice with the training manager at the individual’s home station. Students who must be changed to other course dates must have the change input into OTA for accurate tracking in Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS). A3Q is tasked with building and maintaining all air advisor courses in OTA.

2.8. Country Clearance Requests. A3Q will submit country clearance requests to the Department of State for advisor students attending OCONUS training, in accordance with the Foreign Clearance Guide. All requests are made through the Aircraft and Personnel Automated Clearance System (APACS).

2.9. Air Force Personnel Center (AFPC).
