Who is mandated to have an active training record within AFTR?

The requirement for an active training record within the Air Force Training Record (AFTR) system is specifically aimed at all enlisted personnel holding a medical Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC), which includes those in the rank of Chief Master Sergeant (CMSgt) and below. This mandate helps ensure that all medical enlisted personnel are tracking their qualifications, certifications, and training progression, which is crucial for maintaining readiness and competency in medical roles.

Having an up-to-date training record allows the Air Force to effectively manage its workforce, ensuring that personnel are properly trained for their duties and that capabilities are aligned with mission requirements.

Other groups, such as commissioned officers and senior non-commissioned officers, while they may also have training records, are not mandated by this specific regulation regarding AFTR as it primarily targets the enlisted medical personnel. Thus, the focus on enlisted personnel with a medical AFSC reflects the need for this group to maintain rigorous and specific training documentation essential to their roles within the Air Force medical community.
