Purpose.

This instruction identifies the objectives, organization, and responsibilities of the AOC STAN/EVAL program, and provides administrative procedures. The long-range goal of the AOC STAN/EVAL program is to mirror more robust flying and command and control (C2) weapons system programs that currently exist throughout the USAF. Given current AOC peacetime manning constraints, the AOC STAN/EVAL program will be implemented in two phases. This instruction implements phase one. This phase has two parts leading to completion of mission qualification training (MQT) and being recognized by unit commander (CC) as combat mission ready (CMR). To gain recognition by the unit CC as CMR, individuals must complete a positional or functional area certification based upon positional/functional area training with oversight provided by unit training manager and AOC division/team leads. Secondly, individuals must complete a formal written evaluation (examination) conducted by AOC STAN/EVAL based on the AOC master question file (MQF). The next phase will bring the AOC weapons system from positional/functional area training certification to formal STAN/EVAL positional evaluation. To begin implementation of phase two, this instruction will be reviewed and rewritten two years from the publication date on page 1. AOC units will provide supplements to this instruction in accordance with (IAW) Chapter 6, outlining unit-specific STAN/EVAL policies and procedures. Requirements beyond those defined by this instruction are at the sole discretion of the unit/group commander.
