Deve loping Airmen is a top Air FORCE (AF) pr iority and de ve lopment al effor ts are key to the AF s ability to pr ovide warfighting assets to combatant commanders. These Airmen must possess the right combinations of both occupational and institutional competenc ies.

7 AF de velopmental effor ts span a career and are referred to as a CoL. It applies to all Airmen civilian and military, officer a nd enlisted, active duty, Guard, and reserve c omponents. FORCE development (FD). FORCE development is a function of education, training , and experience, which pr oduces ada ptive, creative, knowledge-enabled Airmen. Total FD is de signe d to be dyna mic and deliberate. It de pends on underlying processes that integrate and sync hr onize institutional requirements and senior leader perspectives. FD pr ocesses are facilitated by inputs from functional communities, commanders, and individual members, but must remain foc used on de livering institutional AF requirements. The CoL allows the AF to synchr onize FORCE de ve lopment using defined requirements. Competencies. One ke y portion of the requirements, the part that touche s all Airmen, is captured in the Institutional Competenc y List (ICL), found in AFPD 36-26, Total For ce Deve lopment.

8 The ICL serve s to pr ovide a common taxonomy underlying the CoL and to pr omote consistenc y AF-wide. All occupational models that include institutional competenc ies appearing on the ICL should use the labe ls and definitions contained in the ICL. Airmen increase their pr of icienc y in all competenc ies through AF FD pr ograms that include any combination of education, training and/or experience. These pr ograms should build on each other throughout the course of a career. AF de ve lopmental activities provide an opportunity to serve and excel, maintain pr omotion opportunity, and ba lanc e de pth and breadth of experiences to AF requirements. Expected B enefits: Aligns infrastructur e investments that are replicated across the AF ( systems, pr ocess definition, training , a nd maintena nce). Enables mana ge ment to be tte r assess, track, and defend deve lopment costs for the Total FORCE .

9 Enables the AF to transition to a smalle r FORCE , should that be required, that is able to expa nd its capa bilities to be tte r support the mission(s). Enables an AF-wide strategic FD framework to determine workf orce pr ojections, current and future c ompetenc y gaps, and emergent human capital needs. Provides a common lang uage and results in clearer understanding of AF FD pr ograms and initiatives, resulting in greater management efficienc ies. Provides a st andard foundation for determining requirements and standards for F D. More c learly ident ifies career pa ths for a ll Airmen with defined attainable st eps. Provides Airmen a clearer vision of goa ls and expe ctations and an understanding of what their perfor mance i s measured against. AFI36-2201 15 SEPTEMBER 2010 7 Impac t of CoL on Continuum of training . Based on the expected outcomes above, the CoL will standardize the requirements for FD.

10 This will ena ble the AF struc ture to reduce unnecessary duplication within the training pr oc ess, minimize anc illary training de mands, clarify the requirements process, and establish a c ommon training evaluation baseline . 8 AFI36-2201 15 SEPTEMBER 2010 Chapter 2 training development AND DELIVERY AF Instructional Systems Design ( ISD): The ISD pr ocess pr ovides a systematic approach to planning , de ve loping, and implementing training and education. The goa l of ISD is to increase the effectivene ss and cost efficiency of training by: de ve loping INSTRUCTION ba sed on job perfor manc e requirements; eliminating irreleva nt skills and knowledg e INSTRUCTION from courses; and ensuring graduates acquire the n ecessary knowledg e, skills, and abilities to do the job. The product of the ISD process is an instruc tional system that is cost effective and pr oduces personnel who can do the job.
