Purpose.

The 38P CFETP provides a development strategy for the Career Field Manager (CFM), commanders, training managers, supervisors, and trainers to plan, develop, manage, and conduct 38P education and training. The outcome of this development strategy is to produce 38Ps capable of delivering Force Support capabilities across the AF and Joint environment at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels. In addition, 38Ps should be developed to provide sound advice on Airmen and family issues to AF and DoD leadership. In sum, this plan outlines the purposeful execution of education, training, and experience opportunities to ensure successful development of 38Ps into proficient managers of human capital assets.

Commanders and supervisors must take an active role in an officer's professional development by providing mentoring and career planning. Officers should review career goals with their commander and supervisor or senior 38P officer during frequent mentoring sessions and performance feedback sessions. They should discuss career development and progression using the 38P Officer Education and Training Roadmap in Figure D and the 38P Experience Pyramid in Figure E.
