scope:

This instruction prescribes basic policy and guidance for training United States Air Force KC-135 crewmembers IAW AFI 11-202V1.

The overall objective of the aircrew training program is to develop and maintain a high state of mission readiness for immediate and effective employment in exercises, peacekeeping operations, contingencies, and war. Mission readiness and effective employment are achieved through the development and mastery of core competencies for KC-135 crewmembers. These core competencies include the ability to conduct Air-to-Air Refueling (AAR), tactical ingress/egress, and tanker operations during all phases of flight, instrument procedures, mission planning, ground operations, crew management, and C4/Air Operations Center (AOC) integration.

Link AFTTP 3-3.KC-135, Combat Aircraft Fundamentals-KC-135, requirements into mission and continuation training tables while retaining a combat culture, leading-edge technologies, and pushing capabilities while anticipating warfighter needs.

The secondary objective is to standardize KC-135 training requirements into a single document to meet requirements for a basic document in AFI 11-200.
