This Guide establishes the occupational structure of the Air Force enlisted force. The occupational structure is

flexible to permit enlisted personnel to specialize and develop their skills and abilities while allowing the Air

Force to meet changing mission requirements. Individual enlisted personnel have a joint responsibility with

commanders and supervisors at all levels to fully develop their abilities consistent with Air Force needs and within

the established patterns of specialization. This directory is written primarily for use by personnel officials (officers

and senior noncommissioned officers) and agencies engaged in procurement, classification, and training of Air

Force members. It implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 36-21, Utilization and Classification of Air

Force Military Personnel. Refer to AFI 36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and Enlisted), for

military classification tenets and base level procedures. Maintain and dispose of records created as a result of

prescribed processes in accordance with the Records Disposition Schedule (RDS) accessed from the web-based

Records Information Management System. RELEASABILITY: There are no releasability restrictions on this

publication.

SUMMARY OF REVISIONS

This is the official directory for all military enlisted classification descriptions, codes, and identifiers. Updates to

this directory are according to the Air Force Career Field Managers¡¯ Guide available at the myPers web site. This

update contains all changes that have been approved and scheduled for implementation on 31 October 2019 and

provides a Change Summary and Conversion Instruction Guide (CS&CIG) or Change Summary Guides (CSG),

as necessary. Each CS&CIG will include a summary of each change, conversion instructions for all AFSC

changes, mergers, additions, realignments, and deletions of classification identifiers, and appropriate page

changes to the directory. Subsequent Change Summary Guides along with the description changes will be

identified by the effective date and as an appendix to the CS&CIG for that particular conversion cycle.

Additionally, minor changes and corrections throughout the publication include correcting spelling or editing

errors. When a (?) precedes the specialty description or title, it denotes a major or significant revision from the

previous edition ¨C the reader must read the particular section of the publication in its entirety to determine the

extent of the changed material.

1. Using This Directory:

1.1. This directory contains a Change Summary and Conversion Instruction Guide (CS&CIG) for each update to

the classification system, a Quick-Reference Guide, the Enlisted Classification Structure Chart to depict career

progression through the specialties, Authorized Prefixes, Reporting Identifiers, Special Duty Identifiers, Air Force

Specialty (AFS) descriptions, their assigned Air Force Specialty Codes (AFSC), Additional Mandatory

Requirements for AFSC Entry, Special Experience Identifiers, and Chief Enlisted Manager (CEM) codes used in

the enlisted classification system. Use the specialty descriptions and codes to identify different types of Air Force

jobs and the qualifications of enlisted personnel to fill these jobs. Individual specialty descriptions and other

attachments to this manual provide the occupational standards required or desired for successful performance in

an AFS. Use these standards to procure, classify, and employ enlisted personnel; to develop career programs for

initial training, retraining, and skill upgrade; and to structure unit manpower document (UMD) positions.

1.2. Attachment 4, Additional Mandatory Requirements for AFSC Entry, contains a consolidated listing by

AFSC of mandatory requirements and restrictions for AFSC entry or retraining. This listing includes AFSCs not

open to non-United States citizens, AFSCs authorized for use without shredouts, combat-related AFSCs not open

to enlisted women, minimum physical profiles, and strength and mental aptitude scores for AFSC entry or

retraining.

1.3. AFI 36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and Enlisted), contains the procedural guidance for

awarding and withdrawing classification codes, and tables that show the grade spread to skill-level relationship

used in authorizing UMD positions. For procedural system guidance, refer to the Active Duty Personnel Services

Delivery (PSD) Guide ¨C Personnel Employment (Classification), the Active Duty Personnel Services Delivery

(PSD) Guide ¨C Special Experience Identifier (SEI) Process, and the Personnel Services Delivery (PSD) Guide ¨C
