PREFACE

This Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is a comprehensive education and training
document that identifies life-cycle education/training requirements and training support resources
for the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) specialty. The CFETP will provide our Airmen with
a clear career path to success and instill consistency in all aspects of our career field training.
The CFETP consists of two parts used by the supervisor to plan, manage, and control training
within the career field.
Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty.
• Section A provides general information about how the CFETP will be used.
• Section B identifies career field progression information, duties and responsibilities,
training strategies, and the career field path.
• Section C associates each skill-level with specialty qualifications (knowledge, education,
and training).
• Section D indicates resource contraints.
• Section E identifies transition training guide requirements for SSgt through MSgt.
Part II includes the following:
• Section A identifies the Specialty Training Standard (STS) to include duties, tasks, and
technical references to support Air Education and Training Command (AETC) conducted
training, wartime course, and correspondence course requirements.
• Section B contains the course objective list and training standards supervisors will use to
determine if an Airman has satisfied training requirements.
• Section C identifies available support materials.
• Section D identifies a training course index supervisors can use to determine resources
available to support training. Included here are both mandatory and optional courses, and
exportable courseware.
• Section E identifies MAJCOM-unique training requirements supervisors can use to
determine additional training required for the associated qualification needs.
• Section F identifies home station training references and courses material required for this
specialty in support of contingency/wartime training.
• Section G identifies the EOD Standard Training Package which prescribes the minimum
monthly/semi-annual/annual training/exercise requirements for all active duty EOD
personnel assigned below wing level.
• Section H advertises Advanced EOD Training Course Training Standards.
Note: At unit level, supervisors and trainers must use Part II to identify, plan, and conduct training
commensurate with the overall goals of this guide.
Using guidance provided in the CFETP will ensure individuals in this specialty receive effective
and efficient training at the appropriate point in their careers. This plan will enable us to train

B3. Training Decisions. The CFETP uses a building block approach (simple to complex) to
encompass the entire spectrum of training requirements for the EOD career field. The spectrum
includes a strategy for when, where, and how to meet the training requirements. The strategy must
be apparent and affordable to reduce duplication of training and eliminate a disjointed approach to
training. The training RECOMMENDATIONS were made by members of the 9-13 July 2012
Specialty Training Requirements Team (STRT) conducted at Eglin AFB, training DECISIONS
were accomplished by the 8-11 July 2013 Utilization and Training Workshop (U&TW) conducted
via telecom.

B3.1. Initials Skills Training. The initial skill course was reviewed for content. Additions,
deletions, and modifications were made to the course. Wartime training tasks were identified and
validated.

B3.1.1. EOD Preliminary Course: Preliminary Course training requirements were included in the
Specialty Training Standard, which will enable training management to structure the course to best
meet the needs of the career field.

B3.1.2. Naval School EOD Course: The Specialty Training Standard (STS) was adjusted to
represent current curriculum. Due to this being an Inter-Service school with the Navy being the
executive manager, training decisions are made by the Technical Training Acceptance Board and
the School’s Commanding Officer. Recommendations can be made by the U&TW, however, it
requires Joint EOD Program acceptance.

B3.2. Five Level Upgrade Training Requirements. Full training requirements review was
conducted and change needs were identified for 5-Level upgrade requirements.

B3.2.1. The STRT recommended additional 5-Level Core Tasks and the U&TW confirmed the
addition. The additional 5-Level Core Tasks was the result of the inclusion of additional wartime
related tasks, line item detailed sub-tasks and National Fire Prevention Agency training
requirements.

B3.2.2. 3E8X1 EOD Journeyman Career Development Course (CDC) Program.

B3.2.2.1. The 3E8X1 EOD Journeyman CDC program is being reformatted as an Electronic
Resource-CDC (ER-CDC). The ER-CDC program will replace the current written material
contained within the CDC with references for trainees to research and self-study. The overall

21
 CFETP 3E8X1, 1 MAR 2016 / (Incorporating Change 2 Dated 1 FEB 2017)
PART I
structure will remain the same, however, the scope of coverage will grow vastly and better mirror
5-Skill Level upgrade requirements.

B3.2.2.2. The 3E8X1 CDC writer is tasked to develop and use, in coordination with Air Force
Career Development Academy Course Development, a syllabus study guide format for future CDC
materials in lieu of the traditional CDC manuscript style. The new format will focus on the
knowledge component of the 5 Level Core Task and will incorporate measurements that will be
used as part of 5-Level Upgrade. The EOD CDC Study Guide and referenced study material (EOD
Technical Orders, AFIs, and EOD Joint Publications) will be the backbone of this transformed
program. Standardized learning objectives will be identified within the syllabus and individual
module study sheets. The program course number with formatted study exercises, unit review
exercises and end of course tests will be maintained with this transformation.

B3.3. Seven Level Upgrade Training Requirements. Full training requirements review was
conducted and change needs were identified for 7-Level upgrade requirements.

B3.3.1. The STRT recommended additional 7-Level Core Tasks and the U&TW confirmed the
addition. The additional 7-Level Core Tasks was the result of the inclusion of additional wartime
related tasks and National Fire Prevention Agency training requirements.

B3.3.2. 7-Level Craftsman Course Restructure. Course change initiative history was reviewed
and training requirements for “operationally” focused curriculum were validated. The change to
operational requirements was unanimously decided. 366 TRS/TRR is tasked to develop an
“operationally” focused course based on the proficiency codes identified by the U&TW. The
course development will include curriculum, infrastructure, materials and the equipment necessary
to accomplish instruction and exercises relative to in-garrison EOD operations.

B3.4. Proficiency Training. Any additional knowledge and skill requirements that were not
taught through initial skills or upgrade training are assigned as continuation training. Purpose of
continuation training is to provide training exceeding minimum upgrade training requirements
with emphasis on present and future duty positions. MAJCOMs must develop a continuation-
training program that ensures personnel in the EOD career field receive the necessary training at
the appropriate point in their careers. The training program will identify both mandatory and
optional training requirements.

B3.5. Supplemental Training. Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and the Training Committee
reviewed supplemental training courses for technical accuracy and validated the courses were
deemed necessary to fully support AFSC career progression/operational capability.

B4. Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) Academic Programs. Airmen are
automatically enrolled in CCAF upon completion of basic military training. CCAF is one of
several federally chartered degree-granting institutions; however, it’s the only 2-year institution
exclusively serving military enlisted personnel. The college is regionally accredited through Air
University by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges
(SACSCOC) to award Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees designed for specific Air
Force occupational specialties and is the largest multi-campus community college in the world.

B9. Enlisted Professional Military Education (EPME).

B9.1. Basic EPME (Distance Learning). Air Force EPME is a time-in-service (TIS)-based
model that ensures targeted delivery of institutional competencies (ICs) throughout the Continuum
of Learning across an enlisted Airman’s career through distance learning. Basic EPME
Requirements will be developed in three phases across an Airman’s career. Refer to AFI 36-2301,
Developmental Education, for the most current guidance and TIS requirements.

B9.1.1. Phase 1. Phase 1 is the resident Airman Leadership School (ALS), which meets all EPME
requirements (basic and comprehensive). RegAF Airmen must complete and pass Phase 1 to be
eligible to enroll in Phase 2 EPME. Air Reserve Component (ARC) Airmen may accomplish ALS
via DL and/or via the resident or satellite program.

B9.1.2. Phase 2. Phase 2 (Course 15) meets the basic requirements for NCOs. All RegAF and
ARC Airmen must enroll within the TIS window. Failure to enroll, complete, and pass Phase 2
within one year of enrollment renders Airmen ineligible to reenlist and compete for promotion
until this requirement is met. The ARC will determine the consequences for failure to complete
required Phase 2 within established timeframes.

B9.1.3. Phase 3. Phase 3 (Course 14, Version 6) meets the basic requirements for SNCOs. RegAF
Airmen must complete and pass Phase 2 to be eligible to enroll in Phase 3. See promotion policy
for guidance related to course completion and senior rater endorsement.

are in-residence courses that builds upon the Basic EPME requirements to achieve higher
proficiency levels and is delivered in three phases. Refer to AFI 36-2301, Developmental
Education, for the most current guidance and TIS requirements.

B9.2.1. Phase 1 EPME. The ALS resident program delivers both basic and comprehensive
learning requirements. The ALS DL course is available for ARC Airmen and meets all basic
requirements.

B9.2.2. Phase 2 EPME NCOA Intermediate Learning Experience (ILE) is a resident opportunity
that delivers comprehensive learning requirements. This opportunity is available to Airmen, who
meet minimum requirements.

B9.2.3. Phase 3 EPME SNCOA Advanced Learning Experience (ALE) is the advanced resident
opportunity that delivers comprehensive learning requirements. This opportunity is available to
Airmen; who meet minimum requirements.

B10. EOD and Civil Engineer (CE) Occupational Badges. The Civil Engineer Badge is the
occupational badge for all 3E AFSs‘. The EOD badge is a joint service badge awarded at the
completion of Tech School with the CE badge. The criteria for subsequent awards (senior and
master) are based on qualifications and leadership in EOD tasks in order to more closely align
with sister service award criteria and maintain joint service parity. Further information on the
wearing of the badge can be located in AFI 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance of Air
Force Personnel.

B10.1. CE Occupational Badge. The Civil Engineer badge reflects a great history and tradition.
By wearing it, you will be recognized by your fellow airmen as having achieved an expected level
of competence. The multitude of engineers before you established this expectation through
excellent service in both peace and war. Eligibility criteria for award and wear of AF occupational
badges can be found in AFI 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance of Air Force Personnel.

B10.1.1. CE Badge Heraldry. Historically, the gearwheel and compass represent the engineering
profession in both the military and civilian sector. The gear represents the essence of
engineering—applying scientific principles and technology to practical ends. To Air Force
engineers, the gear symbolizes an element (representing the built environment) that complements
other environments (weapon systems and trained personnel) to enable the Air Force to perform its
mission. The compass is a precision tool used by engineers to design and construct facilities and
equipment. Together, the gear and compass symbolize all the diverse specialties within Air Force
Civil Engineer. Beyond doubt, the wings helped to portray the fundamental linkage between the
engineering and aviation components—the built environment is the foundation supporting the Air
Force mission and people.

PART II

SECTION A - SPECIALTY TRAINING STANDARD

A1. Implementation. This STS will be used to identify technical training provided by AETC for
the 3-level Naval School EOD Apprentice pipeline course and the 7-level Team Leader Course.

A2. Purpose. As prescribed in AFI 36-2201, Air Force Training Program, and in collaboration
with the Civil Engineer, Air Force Career Field Manager (AFCFM), it is mandatory for all civil
engineers, regardless of duty assignment, to use an automated training record. The automated
training record currently being utilized to document upgrade and qualification training is the Air
Force Training Record (AFTR) and the application is located on the CE-VLC.

A2.1. Column 1 (Tasks, Knowledge, and Technical References). Lists the most common tasks,
knowledge, and supporting technical references (TR) necessary for Airmen to perform duties in
the 3-, 5-, and 7-skill level.

A2.2. Column 2 (Core Tasks). Identifies core tasks (specialty-wide training requirements) by an
asterisk (*) in the appropriate skill level sub-column. As a minimum, trainees must complete
hands-on certification on all core, critical and diamond tasks for skill level upgrade.

A2.2.1. Wartime Tasks. All tasks in the 3-level course column are considered wartime tasks. In
response to a wartime scenario, these tasks will be taught in the 3-level course in a streamlined
training environment.

A2.2.2. Diamond Tasks. Tasks identified by a diamond (♦) are considered contingency/war task
and are critical to the career field. Equipment shortfalls at most locations have created problems
with actual hands-on certification of these tasks. In instances where required equipment is not
available for hands-on training, reading the applicable EOD technical orders/manufacturer
manuals as references until equipment becomes available is all that is required for upgrade training.

A2.3. Column 3 (Certification for OJT). Used to record completion of tasks and knowledge
training requirements. Use the automated training record application to document individual
qualifications. Task certification of core, critical and diamond tasks require a training
completion date and initials of the trainee, trainer, and certifier. All non-core tasks require training
completion date and initials of the trainee and trainer only.

A2.4. Column 4 (Proficiency Codes Used to Indicate Training/Information Provided).

Indicates formal training and correspondence course requirements. It shows the proficiency to be
demonstrated on the job by the graduate as a result of training on the task, knowledge and the
career knowledge provided by formal courses, CDC, distance learning (DL) and web-based
training (WBT). See CADRE/AFSC/CDC listing maintained by the unit education and training
manager for current CDC listings.

A2.5. Qualitative Requirements. Contains the proficiency code key used to indicate the level
of training and knowledge provided by WBT, resident training and career development courses.

 CFETP 3E8X1, 1 MAR 2016 / (Incorporating Change 2 Dated 1 FEB 2017)
PART II

A2.6. Job Qualification Standard (JQS). The STS becomes the JQS for OJT when placed in
automated training application and used according to AFI 36-2201. For OJT, the tasks in Column
1 are trained and qualified to the go/no go level. “Go” means the individual can perform the task
without assistance and meets local requirements for accuracy, timeliness, and correct use of
procedures. When used as a JQS, the following requirements apply:

A2.6.1. Documentation. Document and certify completion of training.

A2.6.1.1. Duty position. Duty position titles and task requirements will be developed and
identified by the workcenter supervisor and loaded into the automated training application.
Completion of core, critical and diamond tasks are mandatory for all duty positions. Ensure the
correct duty position title is listed under Profile 1 section of the trainee’s automated training record.

A2.6.1.2. Duty position change. To change a trainee duty position title select the Profile section
under the trainee record and select the new duty position from the dropdown box, entry the date
entered new duty position and save the update. Under the trainee JQS section you will see the new
tasks associated with the selected duty position. The trainee and trainer/certifier will need to sign
off the tasks associated with the new position.

A2.6.3. Transcribing from previous versions to the new CFETP. Most items should transcribe
automatically during the update of the new CFETP. The UTM and supervisor must conduct a
review of the new STS to identify any new core, diamond, or non-core tasks and add those tasks
to their duty positions.

A2.6.3.1. Previous training certification not listed If previous training certification is not listed
in the individual record, select the parent task to be transcribed, check the task title(s) block, and
click on the transcribe button. Enter the date of the original certification and sign off the task(s).
The trainee will then sign off the task(s) to finalize the transcription of previous training
certification. The automated application will place an entry into the trainee 623a and must be
acknowledged by the transcriber and trainee.

A2.6.3.2. Transcribing external training certification. If a trainee attended a formal training

course and received appropriate accreditation, select the 623 III section of the user’s automated
training record and locate the course title in the master task list, then enter the completion date. If
the course title is not listed, contact the UTM to have it loaded from the master catalog. If it is not
listed in the master catalog contact the EOD CFM at AFCEC to have it loaded in the master
catalog.

43
 CFETP 3E8X1, 1 MAR 2016 / (Incorporating Change 2 Dated 1 FEB 2017)
PART II

A2.6.4. Documenting Career Knowledge. When a CDC is not available, the supervisor
identifies STS training references that the trainee requires for career knowledge IAW AFI 36-
2201, Air Force Training Program and ensures, as a minimum, that trainees cover all mandatory
items specified in AFI 36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and Enlisted). For two-
time CDC exam failures, the unit commander will take appropriate action IAW AFI 36-2201.
Note: Career knowledge must be documented prior to submitting a CDC waiver.

A2.6.5. Decertification. When an Airman is found to be unqualified on a task, the supervisor

shall identify the task in the JQS and check the box next to the task title. The supervisor shall
select the Decertify button on the screen menu and enter a 623a comment explaining why the task
was decertified, and then enter the Airman into qualification training. The individual is recertified
using the normal certification process.

A2.6.6. Recertification. When an Airman is required to be recertified on a previous task due to

annual or bi-annual requirements. The supervisor shall identify the task in the JQS and check the
box next to the task title and select the Recertify button on the screen and entry the dates the
recertification was completed.

A2.6.7. Training Standard. Tasks are trained and certified to the “go” level. Go means the
individual can perform the task without assistance and meets the local requirements for accuracy,
timeliness, and correct use of procedures. This equates to a 3c in the proficiency code key.

A2.7. Specialty Training Standard. The STS is a guide for development of promotion tests used
in the Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS). Specialty Knowledge Tests are developed
at the USAF Airman Advancement Division by senior NCOs with extensive practical experience
in their career fields. The tests sample knowledge of STS subject matter areas judged by test
development team members as most appropriate for promotion to higher grades. Questions are
based upon study references listed in the Enlisted Promotions References and Requirements
Catalog. Individual responsibilities are in AFI 36-2605, AF Military Testing System. WAPS is
not applicable to the Air National Guard or Air Reserve Forces.

A3. Recommendations. Comments and recommendations are invited concerning quality of

training AETC graduates receive. Reference this STS and address your correspondence regarding
changes to 782 TRG/TGE, 917 Missile Road, Rm 1A300, Sheppard AFB TX 76311-2368 or E-
mail [email protected]. A Customer Service Information Line (CSIL) has been installed for the
supervisor’s convenience to identify graduates who may have received over or under training on
tasks/knowledge items listed in this STS. For a quick response to problems, call the CSIL at DSN
736-2574 any time day or night.

SECTION B - COURSE OBJECTIVE LIST (COL)

B1. Measurement. Measurement of each objective is indicated as follows:

B1.1. Written Test (W) indicates task or subject knowledge that is measured using a written test.

B.1.2. Performance Test (P) indicates required task performance that is measured with a
performance test.

B1.3. Progress Check (PC) indicates separate measurement of both knowledge and performance
elements measured with a performance progress check.

B2. Standard.

B2.1. EOD Preliminary Course (J3AQR3E831 01AB) Sheppard AFB TX. The standard is
80% on written examinations. Standards for performance measurement are indicated in the
objectives and delineated on the individual progress checklist. Instructor assistance is provided as
needed during the progress check or performance test, and students may be required to repeat all
or parts of the behavior until satisfactory performance is attained.

B2.2. NAVSCOLEOD Apprentice Course (JBABN3E831 00NC) Eglin AFB, FL. The
minimum passing score is 85%. Standards for student measurements are indicated in the
objectives. Students are normally afforded a retest if at least 85% is not attained. A Naval School
EOD Joint Academic Review Board (ARB) is normally conducted for students that do not attain
a passing score on retest. Training continuation is decided by the Commanding Officer, Naval
School EOD, based on academic records, recommendations from ARB and 366 TRS Detachment
3 Commander.

B3. Proficiency Level. Most task performance is taught to the “2b” proficiency level, which
means the student can do most parts of the task, but does need assistance on the hardest parts of
the task (partially proficient). The student can also determine step-by-step procedures for doing
the task.

SECTION F - HOME STATION TRAINING

F1. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to identify the tasks, training references, and training
sources available in support of contingency/wartime training. Civil Engineer forces will train to
meet the full range of tasks expected in the contingency environment. Training ranges from
knowledge-type training conducted in a classroom, to task-oriented hands-on training conducted
in the field. These training requirements, frequencies, and sources are listed in AFI 10-209, RED
HORSE Program and AFI 10-210, Prime Base Emergency Engineer Force (BEEF) Program.

F2. Home Station Training (HST). HST training is knowledge-based and hands-on training.
The CE Commander ensures training is provided and documented and arranges for subject matter
experts to conduct training as required. This includes training primarily accomplished during
Prime BEEF training days. Units must make every effort to incorporate realism into their
respective HST training programs. Field gear (to include primary weapons) must be used as the
“norm” rather than the exception whenever training requirements such as security activities,
convoy operations, defensive fighting positions, etc. are accomplished. Units will use
demonstration performance packages, qualification training packages, other multimedia training
packages, and AF CE standardized lesson plans to present the material. MAJCOMs and the ANG
may develop and require other training materials to accomplish knowledge-based training.

F2.1. EOD (3E8X1) Specific Training. Exercises are to be accomplished, at a minimum, on an

annual basis. EOD Flights are encouraged to increase the frequency in areas they feel are
necessary.

F2.2. Aerospace System/Vehicles Exercise. See AFI 32-3001 and Aerospace Vehicle Launch and
Recovery AFTTPs for performance expectations

F2.3. Conventional Ordnance (Peacetime) Exercise. See AFI 32-3001 and UXO Recovery
Operations AFTTPs for performance expectations.

F2.4. Recovery of Airbases Denied by Ordnance (RADBO). See AFI 32-3001 and RADBO
CONOPS/AFTTPs for performance expectations.

F2.5. Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Exercise (One Peacetime/One Contingency).

See AFI 32-3001, IED, and Force Protection CONOPS/AFTTPs for performance expectations.

F2.6. Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) Exercise. See AFI 32-3001 and WMD
CONOPS/AFTTPs for performance expectations.

F2.7. Nuclear Weapon Response - Broken Arrow Exercise. See AFI 32-3001 and Nuclear
Accident/Incident Response CONOPS/AFTTPs for performance expectations. ARC may
complete this requirement via a table-top exercise vice a practical exercise in the field.

F2.8. Chemical/Biological Exercise (Contingency – including disposal). See AFI 32-3001 and
Chemical/Biological CONOPS/AFTTPs for performance expectations.

54
 CFETP 3E8X1, 1 MAR 2016 / (Incorporating Change 2 Dated 1 FEB 2017)
PART II

F2.9. Active Range Clearance War Skills. Complete Range Support Tasking within 48 months
after graduating from EOD School. Complete one-time follow-on training within 60 months after
award of 7-skill level. See AFI 32-3001 and Range Clearance Operations AFTTP for performance
expectations.

F3. Combat Skills Training (CST). CST must be institutionalized as an integral part of any
HST program. Observations, innovations and lessons learned (OIL) have taught us the importance
of maintaining a higher level of combat readiness. Although the inclusion of combat skills-focused
training into HST does not fully prepare CE personnel to work in a high threat combat
environment, the steps taken to enhance training will help elevate units to a readiness level capable
of supporting safe and effective operations in low to medium threat combat environments.

F4. Mission Essential Equipment Training (MEET). Wartime or contingency environments

often involve the use of specialized and unique mission-essential equipment that civil engineers
do not use in their day-to-day operations. Due to the cost and complexity, mission essential
contingency equipment and trainer expertise are not commonly found at CONUS installations.
Personnel must be hands-on certified and the certification documented in their CFETP. AFI 10-
210, Attachment 4, identifies minimum number of personnel to be trained, positions by specialty,
frequencies and Chapter 2 identifies the locations of training sites. Inadequate training on these
key equipment items can negatively impact Air Force contingency operations.

F5. Silver Flag Exercise Training. Focus is on performance of critical contingency tasks in a
team environment. The training focuses on bare base bed-down and sustainment operations using
hands-on training with basic expeditionary airfield resources (BEAR) equipment in a realistic bed-
down environment. Where possible, combat skills are added to the curriculum to ensure realism
and help fortify a warrior mentality throughout the training. All CE personnel who fill Unit Type
Code (UTC) positions will receive team training at Silver Flag Exercise Sites.

F6. AF Expeditionary (ES) Training Requirement. AETC, as lead MAJCOM for AF ES

training, revamped ancillary home-station and advanced (mission specific) expeditionary skills
training plans to standardize and synchronize training across the force. Detailed requirements for
AF ES training is available in AFI 36-2201, Air Force Training Program, Chapter 8.

F7. EOD Combat Skills Training – 823 RED HORSE SQ DET 1/Combat Battlefield Ready
Airman (CoBRA). It delivers critical skills and brings individuals and teams together to form a
unit prior to deploying into a high risk combat environment in support of Air Component and Joint
Force Commanders.

F8. Expeditionary Combat Support-Training and Certification Center (ECS-TCC). The

ECS-TCC located at Dobbins ARB, GA enlists AFRC Professional Development Center certified
instructors to administer and facilitate MEET training courses for Civil Engineer personnel
(classroom and hands-on). The EOD training is individual-focused and specifically targets
specialized training to include: CFETP Core Task certification, STP exercise support, ARTs
familiarization, multiple detector IED detector training and just in time requested specialized
training.

G5. Group IV Training Requirements.

G5.1. Practical Training and Exercise Requirements. Team exercises allow members to apply
knowledge learned in the classroom to formulate plans, select and use equipment, manage
personnel, and direct operations to resolve incidents or accident situations involving explosive
ordnance. Exercise will be conducted to enhance realism and incorporate all equipment and
procedures associated with the scenario. Exercise participation, as an observer, instructor,
evaluator, or participant will fulfill minimum training requirements.

G5.2. Practical Training and Exercise Physicality Expectations. Physical fitness is core of a
combat warrior, ensures mission readiness, and supports the Airman Warrior ethos. Mission,
equipment, and TTPs; EOD requirements are physically demanding which requires a high level of
physical fitness. Practical training and exercises should test the physical capabilities relative to EOD
mission and provide an avenue to evaluate EOD Airmen’s physical performance.

G5.3. EOD practical training and exercises, specifically: Weapon of Mass Destruction; Nuclear
Weapon Response; Chemical/Biological Weapon, utilizing SCBA and personal protective
equipment fulfills intent of eight hour HAZMAT Operation Core w/PPE Annual Refresher Training.

Explanations
* A task knowledge scale value may be used alone or with a task performance scale value to define a level of knowledge for a specific task.
(Example: b and 1b)

** A subject knowledge scale value is used alone to define a level of knowledge for a subject not directly related to any specific task, or for
a subject common to several tasks.

- This mark is used alone instead of a scale value to show that no proficiency training is provided in the course or CDC.

X - This mark is used in course columns to show that training is required but not given due to resource constraints. / Lower code (3c/2b)
indicates that a task is being trained to a level that is lower than required.

♦ - This symbol indicates the task is a diamond task due to equipment constraint at some units.
Specific tasks not identified with a symbol or proficiency code key (blank) indicates that no training is provided in the course or CDC.
Major commands and /or units may establish scale values and combat training as dictated by mission requirements.

Note 1: BLK #4: Columns (1) & (2) can be relabeled to meet Career Field Requirements; i.e., 2 phase 3-skill level course, 5- and 7- level
AFQTP

Note 2: All tasks and knowledge items shown with a proficiency code are trained during wartime.
