27. Developmental Teams (DT) Group of senior leaders who oversee development of officers within a given core AFSC Membership 21X DTs chaired by AF/A4L Membership consists of 21X O-6s from each MAJCOM Meet 3x / year Spring: vectors, NRPP, career-field issues Summer: vectors, SQ/CC, 20C0/DCM, IDE/SDE, PAS Fall: vectors, RAS, AFIT, LCBP, career field issues

28. Developmental Teams (DT) SQ/CC & 20C0 Boards List of officers to serve as functional commanders Cross functional look at CC candidates for Training and Recruiting Squadrons Development Education (DE) Nomination Prioritized listing of officers to meet DE Designation Board Provides school vector Developmental Vectors Provide �level� of next assignments (not specific position) Identify officers for special programs (LCBP, RAS, etc.)

29. Deliberately develop Airmen to perform our diverse mission DT members review personnel files Records, SURF, ADP Panel jointly compares notes Collaborate on vectors Tailored to individual & career field development Provides feedback comments via ADP A lot of discussion goes behind each comment Vector = type of assignment, NOT location! Example: Ops Officer, SQ/CC, MAJCOM Staff Steady State Vectoring

30. Steady State Vectoring Trigger points are intentional times of review. The vectors then help guide school selection and outplacement for the officers in the IDE/SDE window. As each year group moves forward over time, a greater percentage of competencies is being built into each year group Trigger points are intentional times of review. The vectors then help guide school selection and outplacement for the officers in the IDE/SDE window. As each year group moves forward over time, a greater percentage of competencies is being built into each year group

31. Vectors are not loaded for all submitted ADPs Vectors good ~ 3-5 years Intent of vector: one-time feedback Re-vector w/ O-6 request, out-run vectors, etc. DTs do NOT look at CGOs Delegated to AFPC Vectors are NOT assignments Assignment teams strive to match DT vectors Focus on mission needs & individual Steady State Vectoring Here�s some DT misconceptions to take back with you and clarify for the troops� Again, I�ll cover steady state vectoring in just a sec, but the DT will now provide a vector via the TODP ~ 3-5 years. We�re looking at every single FGO YG from last fall until this summer, and then after that, an officer will not receive another formal vector until after they make the next rank and then the entire YG, will be looked at by the DT again. Although the DT will provide formal feedback every 3-5 years, the DT will look at the officer more often if they throw their name in the hat for either Sq/CC or IDE/SDE and their feedback will be in the form of whether they make the list of not. Lastly, the DT does not look at CGOs�because the size of our career field, AFPC assigns CGOs based on AF requirements and good OPD based on the philosophy of our career field.
