CAREER FIELD EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN (CFETP)

PART I.

1. Preface. In accordance with (IAW) Air Force Policy Directive 10-35, Battlefield Airmen,

1T2XX is a Battlefield Airmen career field that operates as a component of the Combat Search

and Rescue force and/or part of Air Force Special Operations Command Special Tactics Teams

to provide Joint Force Commanders the capability to recover combat aircrews and other isolated

personnel. They also provide survival and evasion assistance, emergency and field trauma care,

and security. Pararescue forces are capable of moving objectives (personnel and materiel) to

safety or friendly control when direct recovery by aircraft is not possible. This Pararescue

Specialty CFETP is a comprehensive core training document that identifies life-cycle

training/education requirements, support resources, and minimum core task requirements for the

1T2XX specialty. The plan is a "training road map" for the career field. It provides personnel a

clear career path to success and makes career field training identifiable, measurable, and budget

defensible. Ensure that all records created as a result of processes prescribed in this publication

are maintained in accordance with AFI 33-360, Publications and Forms Management, and

disposed of in accordance with the Air Force Records Disposition Schedule located at

https://afrims.amc.af.mil/.

2. The CFETP consists of two parts. Supervisors use both parts of the plan to plan, manage, and

control training within the career field.

2.1. Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty.

Section A: Explains how everyone 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, training,

and other). Section D: Indicates resource constraints (e.g., funds, manpower, equipment, and

facilities). Section E: Identifies transition training guide requirements for staff sergeant through

master sergeant.

2.2. Part II includes the following: Section A: Identifies the specialty training standard (STS)

and includes duties, tasks, and technical references to support training. Air Education and

Training Command (AETC) conducted training, wartime courses, and core task and

correspondence course requirements. Section B: Contains the course objective list and training

standards supervisors will use to determine if airmen satisfy training requirements. Section C:

Identifies available support materials. Examples are: qualification training packages (QTP),

which may be developed to support proficiency training; task, conditions, and standards (TCS)

identify criterion objectives; and syllabi of instruction to standardize on-the-job training (OJT)

across the force. Section D: Identifies a training course index supervisors can use to determine

resources available to support training. Both mandatory and optional courses are listed. Section

E: Identifies Major Command (MAJCOM)-unique training requirements supervisors can use to

determine additional training required for the associated qualification needs.

SECTION A: GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Purpose. This CFETP provides the information necessary for the AFCFM, MFMs,

commanders, AETC TM and Training Development Element instructional designers, AETC

TPM, supervisors, and trainers, to plan, develop, manage, and conduct an effective and efficient

career field training program. This CFETP has several purposes. Some are:

1.1. Serves as a management tool to plan, manage, conduct, and evaluate a career field-training

program. Supervisors use it to identify training at the appropriate point in an individual’s career.

1.2. Identifies task and knowledge training requirements for each skill level in the specialty and

recommends education and training throughout each phase of an individual's career.

1.3. Lists training courses available in the specialty and identifies sources of training and the

training delivery method.

1.4. Identifies major resource constraints that impact implementation of the desired career field

training process.

6

2. Uses. The plan will be used by MFMs and supervisors at all levels as a standardizing basis to

ensure comprehensive and cohesive training programs are available for each individual in the

specialty.

2.1. AETC training personnel will develop and revise formal resident, nonresident, field and

exportable training based upon requirements established by the users and documented in Part II

of the CFETP. They will also work with the AFCFM to develop acquisition strategies for

obtaining resources needed to provide the identified training.

2.2. MFMs will ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory initial,

upgrade, and proficiency requirements. OJT, resident training, contract training, or exportable

courses may satisfy identified requirements. MAJCOM-developed training supporting this

AFSC must be identified for inclusion in this plan.

2.3. Each individual will complete the mandatory training requirements specified in this plan.

The lists of courses in Part II will be used as a reference to support training.

2.4. QTP, TCS, and Special Operating Instructions (SOI) are developed and maintained by

MFMs and/or units in coordination with AETC. Unit-developed QTPs, TCSs, and SOIs will be

provided to their MAJCOM for approval and, upon approval by the AFCFM, included in the

CFETP course index (Part II, Section D).

3. Procedures for Coordinating and Obtaining Approval for Update and Publication. The

CFETP and any requested changes to the CFETP are approved by the AFCFM IAW

AFI 36-2201. Forward recommended changes to AETC/A3T with follow-on coordination to the

AFCFM, HQ USAF/A3TS. MAJCOM requests for additional training must either be

accompanied by funding or must be satisfied within existing resources. MAJOCM

representatives and AETC training personnel will identify and coordinate on the career field

training requirements. The AFCFM and MFMs for this specialty are required to initiate an

annual review of this document IAW AFI 36-2201 to ensure accuracy and currency. Using the

list of courses in Part II will eliminate duplicate training. The AFCFM will post interim message

changes (IMC) for changes or updates to the document IMCs are good for one year. They are

added in revision and posted in Section D.

4. Waiver Authority for Mandatory Requirements. IAW AFI 36-2201, the Pararescue CFM

is the waiver approval authority for mandatory training, experience, and education listed in the

official specialty description referenced in Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory (AFECD).

Waiver requests must be approved by the Pararescue Functional Area Manager prior to review

by the AF Pararescue CFM. See AFI 36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and

Enlisted), Table 3.3., for specific procedures of processing requests. Waiving any portion of an

established standard requires an in-depth consideration on how it will affect the AF mission, the

specialty, and the individual.

4.1. The Pararescue CFM is responsible for maintaining the integrity of the specialty. When

evaluating waiver requests the Pararescue CFM must remember that established mandatory

requirements were justified and validated using MAJCOM inputs. Any waiver request should be

compared against predetermined standards to ensure the integrity of the specialty is maintained.

A review should also consider the trainee's task knowledge and performance, capability in

relation to mission requirements, ability to learn and transfer this knowledge to performance to

meet mission needs and future needs within the specialty equal to peers.

6. Skill and Career Progression. Adequate training and timely progression from the

apprentice or the superintendent level play an important role in the Air Force’s ability to

accomplish its mission. Everyone involved in training must do his or her part to plan, manage,

and conduct an effective training program. The guidance provided in this part of the CFETP will

ensure each Airman receives viable training at the appropriate points in their career.

6.1. Apprentice 3-Skill Level. Initial skills training in this specialty consists of the tasks and

knowledge training provided in the Pararescue Apprentice Course. Task and knowledge training

requirements are identified in the STS (Part II, Section A). Individuals must complete the

Pararescue Apprentice Course and all prerequisite courses (see Figure 1 for Pararescue Training

Pipeline Flow) to be awarded AFSC 1T231.

6.2. Journeyman 5-Skill Level. Upgrade training to the 5-skill level is initiated immediately

after arriving to first duty station. Training will consist of a minimum 12 months or 9 months for

re-trainees. In this specialty, upgrade training consists of completing 5-skill level CDCs (if

available), 5-skill level core tasks, duty position requirements per the STS, and any other

MAJCOM or unit directed OJT requirements.

6.3. Craftsman 7-Skill Level. Upgrade training to the 7-skill level is initiated on 1 Sep of the

year the trainee is selected for promotion to Staff sergeant. Training will consist of a minimum

of 12 months or 6 months for re-trainees. In this specialty, upgrade training consists of

completing all 7-skill level core tasks, duty position requirements per the STS, and any other

MAJCOM- or unit-directed training requirements.

6.4. Superintendent 9-Skill Level. Must be a Pararescue Craftsman. In this specialty, upgrade

training consists of completing all 7-skill level core tasks, duty position requirements per the

STS, and any other MAJCOM or unit-directed training requirements.

7. Training Criteria. The CFETP uses a building block approach (simple to complex) to

encompass the entire spectrum of training requirements for the Pararescue career field. The

spectrum includes a strategy for when, where, and how to meet training requirements. The

strategy must be apparent and affordable to reduce duplication of training and eliminate a

disjointed approach to training.

7.1. Pararescue Pipeline Mandatory Courses of Initial Entry. All non-prior service Airmen

(Basic Military Training (BMT) graduates) only will enter the Pararescue pipeline at the

Battlefield Airmen Preparatory Pilot after BMT graduation. Upon graduation, non-prior service

students will join all Pararescue retrainees, prior service, guard, and reserve students at

Pararescue Development Course. Upon graduation, all students will enter and must graduate the

Pararescue Indoctrination Course before they can enter the follow-on Pararescue training

pipeline (see figure 1 for the Pararescue training pipeline flow).

7.1.1. The Pararescue Indoctrination Course is designed to fulfill three purposes: (1) function as

an indoctrination to the rigors of the Pararescue pipeline and career field by training Airmen in

the fundamentals of physical fitness (run, swim, calisthenics, weight training, and underwater

confidence); (2) emphasize teamwork and the Pararescue core values built upon the Air Force

core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all we do; and (3) prepare an

individual for pipeline and career field success. By building the core value of integrity, we instill

in Airmen the moral traits of accepting responsibility, having courage to do what’s right, having

a sense of justice (being fair), having self-respect, and understanding the importance of meeting

standards. The core value of service before self is reflected in the Pararescueman's Code: “It is

my duty, as a Pararescueman to save lives and aid the injured. I will be prepared at all times to

perform my assigned duties quickly and efficiently, placing these duties before my personal

desires and comforts. These things I do that others may live." We instill “Excellence in all we

do” in Airmen so they will develop a passion for continuous improvement in their careers.

8. Training Decisions. The CFETP uses a building block approach (simple to complex) to

encompass the entire spectrum of training requirements for the 1T2XX career field. The

spectrum includes a strategy for when, where, and how to meet the training requirements. The

Specialty Training Requirements Team met in February 2014 and used the Occupational Survey

Report to generate the requirements for the Training Planning Team (TPT) to use. The TPT was

conducted, in July 2016, to provide suggestions and guidance to the U&TW. The training

decisions reflected in this part of the CFETP are the results of the September 2017 Pararescue

Career Field U&TW. The U&TW accepted the following for the 1T2 career field.

9. Community College of the Air Force (CCAF). CCAF provides the opportunity to obtain an

Associate in Applied Sciences Degree. In addition, CCAF offers the following:

9.1. Occupational Instructor Certificate. Upon completion of instructor qualification training,

consisting of an instructor methods course and supervised practice teaching, CCAF instructors

who possess an associate degree or higher may be nominated by their school commander and

commandant for certification as an occupational instructor.

9.2. Trade Skill Certification. When a CCAF student separates or retires, a trade skill

certification is awarded for the primary occupational specialty. The college uses a competency-

based assessment process for trade skill certification at one of the four proficiency levels:

apprentice, journeyman, craftsman/supervisor, or master craftsman/manager. All are transcribed

on the CCAF transcript.

9.3. Degree Requirements. All Airmen are automatically entered into the CCAF program upon

completion of Basic Military Training. Airmen must possess the 5-skill level before the award

of the degree. In addition, the following requirements must be met.

SECTION D: RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS

13. Purpose. This section identifies known resource constraints that preclude optimal/desired

training from being developed conducted, including information such as cost and manpower.

Narrative explanations of each resource constraint and an impact statement describing what

effect each constraint has on training are included. Also included in this section are actions

required, office of primary responsibility, and target completion dates. Resource constraints will

be, as a minimum, reviewed and updated annually.

13.1. Pararescue Prerequisite Training.

13.1.1. Air Force Combat Dive Course (Open/Closed Circuit). These two courses share quotas

with Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) Special Tactics Training Squadrons.

Both dive courses are capped at six classes per Fiscal Year (FY) at 40 quotas per class for a total

of 240 quotas per FY. Each MAJCOM receives 120 quotas each for each course which

21

constrains the course from programming more quotas to meet program requirements. Total FY

Student Training Requirements (STR) production is 120 enlisted/officer students/FY.

13.1.2. US Army Airborne Parachutist Course. The course is constrained primarily based on the

allocations Army gives AF for training. Pararescue pipeline Airborne course number

(L9AQA1T231-0A1A) receives a fair share portion of the allocations when Army allocations are

below total AF EIS, Officer Initial Skills, and Mission Readiness Training Plan requirements.

Total FY STR production is based solely of number of allocations AF receives.

13.1.3. US Army Military Freefall Parachutist Course. The course is constrained primarily

based on the allocations Army gives AF for training. Pararescue pipeline MFF course number

(L9AQA1XXXX-0F1A) receives a 50% share of total allocations Army provides. The

remaining 50 % is allocated to AFSOC. AETC and AFSOC are the only two commands

allocated quotas. Total FY STR is based solely of number of allocations AF receives.

13.1.4. Pararescue Emergency Medical Technician-Basic (EMT-B)/Paramedic (EMT-P). These

courses are contracted with local area university. These courses are constrained to 3-4

classes/FY with a maximum group size of 24 students per class. Total FY STR production is 72-

96 enlisted students/FY. Primary constraint is the lack of students to train during any given FY.

PJ pipeline must fill a minimum of 18 of the 24 quotas per class. Any quota unfilled below 18

quotas, the contract stipulates the vendor is to be paid course tuition costs for those vacant

quotas.

13.2. Apprentice-Level Training.

13.2.1. The Pararescue Apprentice course is constrained at four classes/FY with a maximum

group size of 28 students per class/35 with CRO students. Total FY STR production is 112/140

enlisted/officer students/FY. Constraints consist of: lack of students reaching the Apprentice

Course; instructor/support manpower; flying hours with dedicated fixed-wing/rotary-wing

aircraft; facilities; training areas/ranges; equipment; and internal Temporary Duty (TDY) travel

funding.

13.3. Journeyman-Level Training.

13.3.1. No constraints.

22

PART II

SECTION A: SPECIALTY TRAINING STANDARD

1. Purpose. As prescribed in AFI 36-2201 and this STS:

1.1. Column 1 lists the most common tasks, knowledge, and technical references necessary for

airmen to perform duties in the 3-, 5-, and 7-skill level. Tasks statements are numbered

sequentially (i.e., 1.1, 1.2, 2.1). Column 2 (core tasks) identifies specialty-wide training

requirements by appropriate skill level (i.e., 5, 7).

1.2. Columns are provides for OJT certification. Use to record completion of tasks and

knowledge training requirements. Use automated training management systems to document

technician qualifications, if available. Task certification must show a certification and completed

date (as a minimum, use the following column designators: training complete, certifier initials).

1.3. Shows formal training and correspondence course requirements. Show the proficiency to

be demonstrated on the job by the graduate as a result of training on the task and knowledge and

the career knowledge provided by the correspondence course. See Cadre/AFSC listing

maintained by the unit education and training manager for current reference listings.

1.4. Contains the behavioral statement key used to indicate the level of training and knowledge

provided by resident training and career development courses.

1.5. Becomes a Job Qualification Standard (JQS) for OJT when placed in AF FORM 623,

Individual Training Record Folder, and used IAW AFI 36-2201. When used as a JQS, the

following requirements.

2. Documentation. Document and certify completion of training. Identify duty position

requirements by circling the subparagraph number next to the task statement. As a minimum,

complete the following columns in Part 2 of the CFETP: training start date, training completed,

trainee initials, trainer initials, and certifier initials (as applicable). An AFJQS may be used in

lieu of Part II of the CFETP only upon approval of the AFCFM. NOTE: The AFCFM may

supplement these minimum documentation procedures as needed or deemed necessary for the

career field.

2.1. Personnel Authorized to Document Pararescue CFETP.

2.1.1. Trainers. Trainers are individuals certified to conduct and document Pararescue CFETP-

mandated task training in only non-flight related CFETP tasks that they are trained and certified

to perform. As a minimum, they must meet all requirements for trainers listed in AFI 36-2201

and complete a MAJCOM approved trainer upgrade. Commanders may apply further

restrictions in writing.

2.1.2. Instructors. Instructors are qualified to conduct both flight- and surface-related

Pararescue CFETP task training and certification for any task that they are trained and certified

to perform. As a minimum, they must meet all requirements for certifiers listed in AFI 36-2201

and complete a MAJCOM-approved instructor upgrade, and certified by their squadron

commander.

2.1.3. Evaluators. Evaluators are qualified instructors that conduct all Pararescue evaluations

requiring an AF Form 803, Report of Task Evaluations, AF Form 8, Certificate of Aircrew

Qualification, and AF Form 8a, Certificate of Aircrew Qualification (Multiple-Aircraft). As a

23

minimum, they must meet all requirements for certifiers listed in AFI 36-2201 and certified by

their squadron commander.

2.2. When converting from an old document to the new CFETP reference use AFI 36-2201.

2.3. Documenting Career Knowledge. The supervisor identifies STS training references that the

trainee requires for career knowledge and ensures, as a minimum, that trainees cover the

mandatory items in AFI 36-2101.

2.4. Records Documentation. An AF Form 623, Individual Training Record Folder, will be

maintained for all Pararescue personnel in the grades of E-1 thru E-9. Use of a 3-ring binder is

an optional, approved method of managing the AF Form 623 contents. The 3-ring binders

provide a more durable hard cover, allows ease of reading, and also enables the user to easily

make changes and additions. If this method is utilized, cut the cover off the AF Form 623 and

slide it into the outside clear pocket of the binder. Documentation is an important part of the

training and evaluation process. Concise and factual documentation provides a history of tasks

accomplished and the conditions under which they were accomplished. Proper documentation

supports the trend analysis program, an important part of the command and unit cross-tell

programs. Improper documentation results in a poor or incomplete picture of the individual’s

performance and may hinder the supervisor as he retrains and prepares the individual for his re-

qualification evaluation. Divide the AF Form 623 into eight sections using tabs.

2.4.1. Tab 1: CFETP. Documenting the STS and JQS. Pararescue is unique in that OJT

training is both mission and task compliance oriented. Each mission area has been subdivided

into specific tasks and is based on go/no-go. All trainee’s, supervisor’s, trainer’s, and certifying

officials will be documented on the JQS identification page. If additional space is needed, use

locally produced forms containing the required information. Place additional identification

pages in front of the CFETP if required.

2.4.2. Tab 2: AF FORM 623a, On-The-Job Training (OJT) Continuation Sheet. The 623a is

used for recommendations and explanation of restrictions. Use the 623a to record positive

performance as well as negative. The evaluator and trainee initials must be recorded after the

comment section in order for the comments to be considered valid. As a minimum, each entry

on a continuation sheet must include the date, comments, and initials of both the trainer and

certifier and trainee. Training entries will also include strengths, weaknesses, and recommended

actions. All 623a entries should provide supporting documentation to any subsequent

evaluations annotated on the AF FORM 803.

2.4.3. Tab 3: Mission Ready Training Forms. When available, ARMS will be used to track

training. Retain all management products in this tab or a central location. The product must be

returned to this tab if the individual deploys with the training record or makes a permanent

change of station (PCS) move.

2.4.3.1. Maintain a record of required Air Force ancillary training (AFI 36-2201) either in this

tab or in a central location if not recorded in unit training management products.

2.4.3.2. Air Force Form 1098, Special Task Certification Recurring Training. This form is used

to record recurring training if not recorded in unit training management products.

2.4.4. Tab 4: Individual Dive Record. Diver Reporting System software may be used to

generate dive reports (http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/afloat/diving/drs/). If software is not

24

available use DD Form 2544, Diving Log, to record and maintain a historical record of individual

dive training.

2.4.5. Tab 5: Evaluation Records. Tab 5 requirements and maintenance are IAW AFI 10-

3502 Vol 2. Supporting documentation for any training required prior to an evaluation should be

supported by 623a entries.

2.4.6. Tab 6: AF Form 522, USAF Ground Weapons Training Data. The forms may be

maintained in this tab or a central location, but must be returned to this tab if the individual

deploys with the training record or makes a PCS move.

2.4.7. Tab 7: Basic Qualifications and Advanced Skills Documentation. Maintain a copy of

current special orders and/or commander’s certification letters placing individual on or removing

from specialty qualifications. Advanced qualifications denoted by a commander’s letter must

have supporting documentation entered in the AF Form 623a and/or AF Form 803.

2.4.8. Tab 8: EMT Certification and Re-Certification Documentation. This tab will include

either originals or copies of individual’s current qualification documentation. This tab is also

used to maintain the necessary information and documentation required to attain and maintain

EMT qualification.

2.5. Certification and Decertification procedures.

2.5.1. All annotation will be accomplished in pencil.

2.5.2. Pre-printed items listed in the formal training columns relate to mandatory training

required for certification. Upon formal school completion an individual is considered qualified

in those tasks.

2.5.3. Identify duty position, MAJCOM and unit mission-essential tasks. Circle the

corresponding task number/letter. Circling line items in the STS makes it a JQS. JQS items

should align with MAJCOM and unit Mission Essential Task List (METL) requirements and

individual responsibilities.

2.5.4. Identify duty position requirements to include core tasks by circling the applicable

subparagraph number next to the task statement.

NOTE: During upgrade, core tasks are circled regardless of unit METL requirements and are

trained IAW normal upgrade requirements. All Pararescuemen must maintain qualification in all

core tasks in order to maintain AFSC.

2.5.5. To begin training in a specific task, enter a training start date.

2.5.6. To complete the training process, the trainee and trainer agree to task proficiency and the

trainee initials the trainee column. The trainer will enter the completion date and his initials in

the trainer column. For tasks requiring task certification, when a task is certified complete, the

trainer/certifier enters the completion date in the completion date column and then initials the

certifier column.

2.5.7. A review board will be conducted for Pararescuemen de-certified in AFI 10-3502 Vol 2,

Pararescue/Combat Rescue Officer Standardization and Evaluation Program. The board will

recommend to the commander whether a waiver, remedial training, or removal from the career

field is warranted. De-certified individuals will not perform operational duties until a re-

qualification evaluation or waiver is completed.

25

2.5.8. When decertifying a Pararescueman to a lower level, line through the specific upgrade

columns that the de-certification relates to, erase the training start/stop dates, erase the

trainer/certifier initials and write in the new start date for the level being trained to. De-

certification requires an entry be made in the AF Form 623a or the AF Form 803 as appropriate.

When documenting the AF FORM 623a/AF Form 803, indicate the date, reason for de-

certification, corrective actions, and any restrictions. Clearly define type of restriction, reason

the restriction was imposed, and training required to clear the restriction.

2.6. Training Standard. Tasks are trained and qualified to the go/no-go level. Go means the

individual can perform the task without assistance and meet local demands for accuracy,

timeliness, and correct use of procedures. TCSs are written to, or exceed, 3c proficiency levels,

IAW AFI 36-2201.

2.7. Specialty Knowledge Tests (SKT). Senior Non-Commissioned Officer (NCOs) with

extensive practical experience in their career fields develop the SKT at the USAF Occupational

Measurement Squadron. The tests sample knowledge of STS subject matter areas judged by test

development team members as most appropriate for promotion to higher grades. Questions are

based upon study references listed in the Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS) catalog.

Individual responsibilities are in chapter 14 of AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the United States

Air Force. WAPS in not applicable to Air National Guard.

2.8. Upgrade Certification Procedures. Prior to upgrade, all 1T2XX personnel, regardless of

duty position, must satisfactorily complete career knowledge training commensurate with

upgrade skill level. Trainees must also meet AFSC experience requirements outlined in AFI 36-

2101, and task certification on 5-skill level or 7-skill level core tasks. Work center supervisors

may not defer selected core tasks without MFM approval and AFCFM waiver to training policy.

All requests to waive core tasks identified in the CFETP must be routed through applicable base

training manager to the MFM for coordination and forwarded to the AFCFM for approval.

Deferment actions will be coordinated with the unit training office, MFM, and AFCFM. Work

Explanations

* A task knowledge scale value may be used alone or with a task performance scale value to define

a level of knowledge for a specific task. (Example: b and 1b)

** A subject knowledge scale value is used alone to define a level of knowledge for a subject not

directly related to any specific task, or for a subject common to several tasks.

X This mark is used alone in course columns to show that training is required but not given due to

limitations in resources.

- This mark is used alone instead of a scale value to show that no proficiency is provided in the course

or CDC.

3/5/7 Indicates a core task. Core tasks are critical for 3-, 5-, and 7-level personnel. They require full

support for training accomplishment and are deemed critical for career progression, upgrade, and

operational mission necessity.

NOTE: All STS/CTS tasks and knowledge items shown with a proficiency code are trained during

wartime.
