FMDC Structure CSAF/SECAF Force Management Development Council Civilian Force Development Panel Officer Force Development Panel Enlisted Force Development Panel Expeditionary Skills Senior Review Group Air Force Learning Committee Synchronization (Gatekeeper/Integration) Population Focus • Emerging Issues • Short term • Forward issues to appropriate population/synchronization panel(s) • Reviewed periodically • Includes: - Nuclear - Space • - Acquisition - Rated 4 4

  5. AFLC Process Discipline What is driving the education/training requirement? (Congress, OSD, AF, etc.) Does the governing directive specify target audience, frequency, duration, delivery methodology (lecture vs CBT) and/or content (desired learning outcomes) (as applicable)? Is the education/training provided at other venues? What is the mission impact/risk of non-compliance (as applicable)? AETC/A2/3/10 validates objectives and proposed length of training (ancillary) AU develops objectives (PME) TFAT annual review process; thereby requiring course owners to review/revalidate existing TFAT (4 Mar 11) AU annual review GOAL: Standardized, Effective Education/Training Mapped to Learning Objectives 5 5

  17. Total Force Integration Maj Justine Cromer AF/A8X

  18. Total Force Integration • Background: AFLC 2010 • AF/A8 feedback from MAJCOM site visits • Barrier to integration due to lack of knowledge about the different components (Reg AF, ARC and Civilian) in the TF • AF/A9 lessons learned reports cite a need to examine TFI training at Air University to ensure the TFI vision and objectives are communicated • A8XF approach to examine the problem, root cause and possible solutions 18

  19. Total Force Leadership • Background • Lessons Learned Fort Hood: “Preventing Violence/Enhancing Response” – action required by AF/A1 (A8XF partner) • “Finding 74: Air Force leaders lack knowledge about how best to manage Total Force personnel who might pose a threat to themselves or others.” • 74.1 Revise applicable professional military education and professional continuing education programs to include learning outcomes focused on authorities, procedures, and programs that support Total Force teaming and leadership. • 74.2 Revise reference materials for officer, enlisted, and civilian members to clarify authorities, procedures, and programs that support Total Force teaming and leadership.

  20. Total Force Integration Current Status: Red Gap Analysis “Current state” – AU talking papers on TF curriculum PCE programs still under review “Desired state” – Fort Hood 74.1/74.2 Findings Traditional Total Force topics taught in all forms of PME/PCE Learning focused on component and Joint perspectives, general knowledge, roles, policy, etc as opposed to managing an integrated force Topics need updating to reflect TFI focus and Fort Hood requirements 20

  21. Total Force Integration Current Status: Red Learning objectives will standardize content and focus outcomes on target audience and meet Fort Hood requirement. 3 learning objectives – WIP --modify objectives to target CCs and supervisors for officers, enlisted, civilians --modify objectives to appropriate level of learning --ensure language covers Fort Hood recommendations 21

  22. Total Force Integration • Decisions Required: • Learning outcomes: AU • Prioritization of venues starting with operational level followed by appropriate content/method to achieve outcome • Example: • Wing CC seminar – 1 week • Group CC course – 2 weeks • AF Incident Mgt Course – ops/medical/MS/MX focus • Commander’s Integration Guide – highlight/condense AWC ACSC

  23. Total Force Integration • Views of others: • Stakeholder buy-in ongoing with AU/A1DL • Potential show-stoppers: unknown • Deliverables/Milestones: • 15 April – revised learning outcomes – POC: AU • 15 April – content insertion schedule to meet 1 Dec 2011 completion requirements – POC: AU
