scope:

This instruction prescribes USAF procedures and responsibilities for planning, scheduling, resourcing, managing, and executing air advisor education and training.

This instruction governs all USAF air advisor education and training to meet mission-ready requirements for Airmen assigned to designated and expeditionary air advisor forces/units and those selected for temporary expeditionary taskings. The portion of air advisor education and training developed to specifically meet GCC-mandated pre-deployment training requirements (e.g., force protection/fieldcraft) is subject to USAF expeditionary skills training guidance and oversight.

Aircrew qualification and maintenance certification programs for USAF personnel operating/maintaining non-USAF aircraft in support of SC are governed by applicable 11- or 21-series instructions and/or guidance by the governing authority. MAJCOMs may develop guidance addressing the air advisor education and training for aircrew and maintenance personnel.
