Purpose of the AFI.

This instruction assigns responsibilities and prescribes policies and procedures for standardizing and modernizing Air Force (AF) physical training (PT) in concert with AFI 10-248, Fitness Program and sister-service directives. The AF will use PT Courses (PTC) and Conditioning Obstacle Courses (COC) to train Airmen realistically, consistent with current and future doctrine, threat analysis, and force structure. The AF will realize economy in developing these training ranges while ensuring these ranges support the training required by the fielding of new and improved ground warrior tactics, techniques, and procedures as well as published environmental, safety, and health guidance. Furthermore, it provides broad administrative, management and operational guidance for the AF Obstacle Course Program Manager (OCPM) and subordinate command level obstacle course programs. Deviations from this instruction are not authorized unless approved by AF OCPM. Submit proposed changes through your chain of command to AF/A3O-AS (AF OCPM), 1480 AF Pentagon, Washington DC 20330-1480 and AF/A3O-AS Workflow (scats.xoos@pentagon.af.mil) on AF Form 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication.
