Chapter 1

OVERVIEW

1.1. Purpose. This AFMAN identifies the objectives, organization, and responsibilities of the
AOC/OC STAN/EVAL program, and provides administrative procedures to assure commanders
at all levels that basic performance requirements for core AOC assignments have been met. The
intent of this program is divisional and functional qualifications for crewmembers permanently
assigned to core divisions (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Division (IRD),
Strategy Division (SRD), Combat Plans Division (CPD) Combat Operations Division (COD), and
Air Mobility Division (AMD)), involved in planning or executing missions, and/or involved in
applicable tasking or targeting cycles. The STAN/EVAL program is designed to provide
commanders a tool to assess and document individual crewmember knowledge and skills, as well
as their ability to manage operational risk.
1.1.1. This AFMAN sets requirements for both the STAN/EVAL examiner and examinee with
procedures and evaluation criteria for use during divisional evaluations: (i.e Initial
Qualification (INIT QUAL), Qualification (QUAL), Mission Qualification (MSN),
Requalification (RQ), and Spot (SPOT) Evaluations). Specific areas are prescribed to ensure
an accurate assessment of the proficiency and capabilities of operations personnel.
STAN/EVAL examiners and examinees will be thoroughly familiar with the prescribed rating
criteria in this document.
1.1.2. In the rest of this AFMAN, the term “AOC” will refer to all geographic, global, and
functional AOC and OCs, unless otherwise specified.
1.1.3. All certifications awarded prior to the release of the AFMAN rewrite will be
grandfathered to a qualification that does not require an AF Form 8, Certificate of Aircrew
Qualification, or AF Form 4350, Certificate of Intelligence Qualification. Any qualifications
awarded after the release of this publication will require an AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350.
Cyber crew positions will be qualified per AFI 17-202 Volume 2, Cybercrew Standardization
and Evaluation Program, and AFI 17-2ACD Volume 2, Air Force Cyberspace Defense (ACD)
Standardization and Evaluation. Other personnel assigned to support the AOC will use AFI
36-2651, Air Force Training Program, and their career field’s applicable quality assurance,
certification, or job qualification.
1.2. Objectives. The overall objective of the AOC STAN/EVAL program is to standardize
procedures and provide commanders with a tool to validate mission readiness and provide
meaningful indicators reflecting division, team, and overall unit qualifications, capabilities, and
effectiveness. Specific program objectives are to:
1.2.1. Provide a system to assess and document individual crewmember proficiency and
capability to accomplish assigned C2 duties.
1.2.2. Develop and ensure standardization of applicable operational procedures for weapon
system employment.
1.2.3. Ensure compliance with appropriate operational, training, and administrative directives.
1.2.4. Evaluate and revise operational directives, procedures, and techniques as required.
AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020 7

1.2.5. Assess unit effectiveness and compliance with operational directives and procedures.
1.2.6. Recognize trends, recommend and initiate changes to training programs and directives.

Chapter 5

EVALUATIONS

5.1. General. An evaluation is an assessment of individual crewmember capability to

accomplish assigned duties within a particular division. Examinees requiring NAF or MAJCOM
examiners will consult the appropriate STAN/EVAL Chief for availability. The MAJCOM and/or
STAN/EVAL Chief may delegate if no appropriate examiner is available.
5.2. Qualification Types.
5.2.1. A qualification is a documented designation that identifies a crewmember as having the
capability to accomplish specific duties. These qualifications are broken into three types:
“Basic Qualification”; “Mission Qualification”; and “Instructor Qualification”.
5.2.2. Basic Qualification. A documented designation allowing a crewmember to perform the
duties of a particular division in the AOC during peacetime and/or exercises, but not perform
the missions of a specific duty position during combat, contingency, or Designed Operational
Capability (DOC) statement mission operations without supervision and instruction.
Crewmembers successfully completing Initial Qualification Training (IQT) have a basic
qualification, and considered basic mission capable (BMC).
5.2.3. Mission Qualification. A documented designation allowing a crewmember to perform
the missions of a division or duty position in accomplishing the unit’s operational or DOC
statement mission during combat. These crewmembers are CMR.
5.2.4. Instructor Qualification. A documented designation allowing a crewmember to instruct
and provide supervision of unqualified and/or uncertified crewmembers.
5.3. Evaluation Types. There are four types of evaluations, Qualification (QUAL), Mission
(MSN), Instructor (INSTR), and SPOT. Each qualification may require the completion of requisite
tasks. (Exception: a SPOT evaluation has no requisite tasks). As long as the methods accurately
evaluate all mission tasks, use any combination of: verbal assessment; verification board briefing;
observed performance of tasks; part-task simulation; or exercise employment suitable to the crew
position.
5.3.1. Qualification (QUAL) Evaluations.
5.3.1.1. Purpose. To ensure basic qualification (BQ) in the AOC and the specified
division. BQ will not allow a crewmember to perform DOC-statement missions
unsupervised, but does allow unsupervised training and exercise duties within the division.
(T-3).
5.3.1.2. Execution. Successful completion of IQT per AFI 13-1 AOC Volume 1 results in
BQ status. The first evaluation after completion of IQT and mission qualification training
(MQT) will be a combined initial QUAL evaluation and MSN evaluation. The initial
QUAL/MSN evaluation will reflect the AOC’s operational or DOC statement missions,
structure and procedures. It may include any combination of verbal assessment,
verification board briefing, performance tasks, part-task simulations, and/or exercise
employment suitable to the division. (T-3). NOTE: See paragraph 5.3.2 for MSN
evaluation requirements. AOCV shall document the approved methods for evaluating
performance. (T-3).
18 AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020

5.3.2. Mission (MSN) Evaluations.

5.3.2.1. Purpose. To assess a crewmember's ability to perform the assigned duties of a
division in accomplishing the unit’s operational and/or DOC statement mission(s).
Achieving and maintaining CMR will require successful completion of IQT, MQT, open
and closed book examinations, a MSN evaluation, and completing continuation training
(CT) requirements in accordance with AFI 13-1 AOC, Volume 1. (T-3). A MSN
evaluation is also used for additional qualifications in other divisions.
5.3.2.2. Execution. The MSN evaluation will reflect the type and difficulty of tasks
required in a particular crew position’s role in fulfillment of the AOC’s operational or DOC
statement missions, and may include any combination of verbal assessment, verification
board briefing, observed performance of tasks, part-task simulations, and/or exercise
employment suitable to the crew position. For a crewmember’s first evaluation in a
division, they must first successfully complete IQT and MQT; the QUAL and MSN
evaluation will be combined. (T-2). If a crewmember already is qualified in a division,
subsequent MSN evaluations in that or other divisions require completing CT
requirements, passing examinations, and a MSN evaluation. AOCV shall document the
approved methods for evaluating performance. MSN evaluations will be completed in
accordance with Chapter 10. (T-3).
5.3.3. Instructor (INSTR) Evaluations.
5.3.3.1. Purpose. To confirm a member's ability to conduct training in a division and/or
crew position(s) and to obtain and maintain Instructor Qualification.
5.3.3.2. Execution. The AOC/CC (or Division Chiefs, if delegated) must certify
crewmembers designated as instructor. (T-2). AOC/CCs (or Division Chiefs, if delegated)
shall specify the method for evaluating in MAJCOM Supplements, which shall include
direct observation of actual or simulated training in division missions. (T-3). Trainers will
complete a locally-developed trainer program per AFI 13-1 AOC Volume 1. (T-3).
5.3.3.2.1. INIT INSTR evaluations by instructing an actual student on an instructional
sortie whenever possible. When students are not available or mission and/or crew
composition requirements prevent inclusion of students, another crewmember or the
evaluator should serve as the student.
5.3.3.2.2. Evaluations of instructor qualification will be conducted during all
subsequent periodic evaluations.
5.3.3.2.3. Instructors. Instructors whose MSN evaluations have expired are not
qualified to instruct in those areas. (T-3).
5.3.4. SPOT Evaluations.
5.3.4.1. Purpose. An optional evaluation of a specific event or requirement without
intending to satisfy the requirements of a periodic evaluation and/or an initial INSTR
evaluation.
5.3.4.2. Execution. A SPOT evaluation has no specific requisites, unless specified in
MAJCOM supplements, but may be No-Notice (N/N) in accordance with paragraph 5.5.3
AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020 19

5.3.4.2.1. A SPOT evaluation will be used when the loss of currency requires an
evaluation to regain currency. The SPOT evaluation profile will be directed by the
AOC/CC and will include, as a minimum, those items for which the individual is non-
current and which require an evaluation.
5.3.4.2.2. An examinee may utilize a SPOT evaluation to update a QUAL/MSN
evaluation expiration date provided all requirements for the evaluation are completed
within the periods (document on the AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350 in accordance with
Chapter 7.).
5.3.4.2.2.1. Commanders may authorize additional missions in order to assist a
crewmember’s accomplishment of periodic requirements (document on the AF
Form 8 or AF Form 4350 in accordance with Chapter 7.).
5.3.4.2.2.2. When the examiner administering a SPOT evaluation is not qualified
in the weapon system (e.g. a senior examiner), the evaluation will not be credited
towards a periodic evaluation.
5.3.4.3. Any other event requiring a qualification or evaluation that is not a QUAL, MSN,
or INSTR will be documented as a SPOT evaluation.
5.3.4.4. Examiner Objectivity SPOT Evaluation. Evaluations that assess the objectivity,
decision making and skill of an Examiner in administering a QUAL/MSN evaluation.
5.3.4.4.1. Examiners can administer Examiner Objectivity SPOT evaluations to
evaluators in any division, at the discretion of the examinee’s AOC/CC.
5.3.4.4.2. Use SPOT as the type of evaluation under block III Aircrew Evaluation
Information on the AF Form 8, or block II, Qualification, Task Phase, Event Check,
portion on the AF Form 4350. Explain that the evaluation was an Examiner Objectivity
Evaluation in the mission description of the comments section (Block VIII, AF Form
8 and Block II, AF Form 4350) on the AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350. The qualification
level for this type of an evaluation will be either qualified (1 or 2) or unqualified (3).
5.3.4.4.3. Use the graded areas and grading criteria in Chapter 10. Use the
qualification level criteria in accordance with paragraph 5.11
5.3.4.4.4. The certification of the Examiner receiving an unqualified Examiner
Objectivity Evaluation is determined by the AOC/CC, as applicable.
5.3.4.4.5. Based on the recommendation of the Examiner giving the Examiner
Objectivity SPOT evaluation, the AOC/CC (or division chief, if delegated) may issue
a commander directed downgrade AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350
(MSN/QUAL/INSTR).
5.4. Examiner Objectivity Evaluations. See MAJCOM supplements for Examiner Objectivity
Requirements.
5.5. Prefixes. The following prefixes will be used, when applicable, to further describe MSN,
QUAL, and INSTR evaluations.
5.5.1. Initial (INIT). The first evaluation of any type, to include instructor qualification, in a
specific Division (e.g., INIT QUAL/MSN, INIT INSTR).
20 AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020

5.5.2. Requalification (RQ). An evaluation administered to remedy a loss of qualification due

to the following reasons:
5.5.2.1. Expiration of a required periodic evaluation. The requalification evaluation will
be in accordance with the guidance for that periodic evaluation.
5.5.2.2. A failed periodic evaluation or a commander-directed downgrade (see paragraph
5.16). The Requalification Evaluation will be in accordance with the provisions of
paragraph 5.13.1
5.5.2.3. When regaining qualification after the completion of a QUAL evaluation in a
different division, unless approved by MAJCOM to maintain multiple qualification
statuses.
5.5.2.4. When regaining qualification due to loss of currency.
5.5.2.5. Use of (RQ) for Instructor Qualification following a failure (N/A following INIT
INSTR failure)
5.5.2.6. The RQ prefix will not be used under the following circumstances:
5.5.2.6.1. If the expiration of a required periodic evaluation is due to failure to
complete one or more of the requisites, and the AOC/CC determines that the
qualification will be re-established by completion of the requisites without re-
accomplishment of the evaluation.
5.5.2.6.2. The evaluation follows a failed INIT evaluation.
5.5.2.7. If an instructor passes the MSN and/or QUAL portion of the evaluation, but fails
the instructor portion of the evaluation, the subsequent evaluation to regain instructor
qualification will be a RQ INSTR.
5.5.2.8. If an instructor fails the MSN and/or QUAL portion of an evaluation but not the
instructor portion, then a RQ INSTR is not required.
5.5.3. No-Notice (N/N).
5.5.3.1. The no-notice evaluation program provides commanders a sampling of daily crew
performance and an assessment of unit training effectiveness.
5.5.3.2. A no-notice evaluation is one where the examinee is notified of the evaluation at
or after the beginning of normal preparation for the mission. “Normal preparation” will be
as defined in the MAJCOM and/or unit supplement.
5.5.4. Multiple Prefixes. More than one prefix may be used to describe an evaluation (e.g.,
N/N SPOT). The applicability of any prefixes to portions of any combined evaluations and the
purpose for any prefixes (if not obvious by the context of the evaluation) will be explained on
the AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350 (see paragraph 7.4.3.1.2).
5.6. Combined Qualification Evaluations. To promote efficient use of operational resources, if
a crewmember will have multiple qualifications, it is recommended that evaluations be completed
concurrently whenever practical. If combined, evaluators will include the designation of each
evaluation in the Aircrew Evaluation section of the AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350 (e.g.,
QUAL/MSN). (T-3).
AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020 21

5.6.1. Initial QUAL Evaluations are exempt from concurrent requirement and may be
completed concurrently with a MSN evaluation. The crewmember’s gaining unit will
complete a general AOC INIT QUAL/MSN evaluation once crewmembers complete IQT and
MQT in accordance with syllabi and AFI 13-1AOCV1, as directed. (T-3).
5.6.2. The initial QUAL/MSN evaluation will be completed by the gaining unit in the
member’s assigned division. If completed concurrently, the gaining unit will document the
INIT QUAL/MSN evaluation on a single AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350. (T-3).
5.7. Cross-Command Evaluations. To provide flexibility to units experiencing difficulty in
performing evaluations due to evaluator availability or other unique concerns, evaluations may be
conducted across MAJCOMs. The requesting unit must justify the need and explain the reasons to
go outside their parent MAJCOM. (T-1). ACC and ANG units are not required to submit a cross-
command evaluation request between like units as they are considered part of ACC. Processing
of cross-command evaluation requests are accomplished as follows:
5.7.1. Units identifying a need for a cross-command evaluation must coordinate through their
chain of command to their MAJCOM OPR. (T-2).
5.7.2. Requests must come from commanders of the affected unit through the command chain
up to the requesting unit’s MAJCOM OPR. (T-3).
5.7.3. The requesting unit’s MAJCOM OPR coordinates approval of the evaluation with the
requested MAJCOM OPR and forwards the approval through channels to the requesting unit.
5.7.4. Cross-command evaluation requests may be sent via email or memorandum and include
the following:
5.7.4.1. Reference and text of the specific requirement for which the commander is
requesting an evaluation.
5.7.4.2. Rationale. Explain why the evaluation cannot be accomplished within the unit’s
command or what resources the unit lacks (e.g. trainers, evaluators, equipment, or
evaluation scenarios).
5.7.4.3. Recommended unit to conduct the evaluation and any pre-coordination between
units.
5.7.4.4. Impact if request is disapproved.
5.7.5. Approved requests will be filed within the individual’s EF and incorporated on the AF
Form 8 or AF Form 4350 generated by the supporting MAJCOM. (T-3).
5.8. Evaluation Criteria.
5.8.1. The Lead MAJCOM, in coordination with the applicable user MAJCOMs, will establish
and maintain standardized MSN, QUAL, and INSTR evaluation criteria. (T-2).
5.8.2. MAJCOMs will coordinate with the program managers of any command-mandated
software on any updates of evaluation criteria to aid in the expeditious revision of evaluation
criteria files.
5.8.3. The Lead MAJCOM, in coordination with the applicable user MAJCOMs, will establish
graded areas and subareas. (T-2). This includes the identification of the following:
22 AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020

5.8.3.1. Required areas. Graded areas and subareas that must be evaluated for an
evaluation to be considered complete. (T-2).
5.8.3.2. Critical areas. Areas where marginal performance is unacceptable. Critical areas
are graded either “Q” or “U” and include but are not limited to, Security, Safety, and
Command Intent.
5.8.3.3. Information checks areas.
5.8.3.3.1. This is required for QUAL and MSN evaluations and may also be
accomplished on other evaluations. (T-3).
5.8.3.3.2. Each crewmember will demonstrate the ability to access current, accurate
information applicable to the performance of their duties. The required information
shall be specified by division, team, and/or crew position in MAJCOM or local unit
supplements, and is summarized in Air Force Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures
(AFTTP) 3-3 and AFTTP 3-1 series publications. (T-3). The AFTTP can be located at
the following web address:
https://intelshare.intelink.gov/sites/561jts/afttp/aoc/SitePages/Home.aspx
5.9. Grading and Qualification Level. Individual grades are assigned to each graded area and
subarea. Evaluators will assign a qualification level based on the requisite results, the evaluation
area, and subarea grades.
5.9.1. A grade is a characterization of examinee performance in a Graded Area or Graded Sub-
area.
5.9.2. Graded areas and subareas are specifically evaluated abilities or skills set within an
evaluation. Graded areas and subareas will have a two-tier (Q/U) or three-tier (Q/Q-/U)
grading system. Discrepancies will be documented against the established areas and subareas.
5.9.2.1. Q indicates the examinee is qualified to perform the area and subarea tasks. The
examinee demonstrated both a satisfactory knowledge and performed within the prescribed
Q tolerances.
5.9.2.2. Q- indicates the examinee is qualified to perform the area and subarea tasks. The
examinee demonstrated limited knowledge and/or marginal performance within the
prescribed Q- tolerances. Q- must not jeopardize security, safety or be a breach of
command intent. Q- requires debriefing or additional training as determined by the
examiner.
5.9.2.3. U indicates the examinee is not qualified to perform the area subarea tasks. The
examinee demonstrated insufficient knowledge and/or performance outside allowable Q
and Q- tolerances. Any breach of security, safety, or command intent shall result in a U
grade. (T-3). U requires debriefing or additional training as determined by the examiner.
5.10. Remedial Actions.
5.10.1. Debriefed Discrepancy. Remedial action accomplished during debrief of the
evaluation wherein the examiner provides instruction concerning the discrepancy and
determines that the examinee has gained the necessary knowledge or proficiency.
AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020 23

5.10.2. Additional Training. Any training recommended by the examiner to remedy a

discrepancy identified during an evaluation that cannot be remedied during the evaluation
debrief. Unit supplements will outline procedures for ensuring additional training is
accomplished.
5.10.2.1. May include self-study, personal or group instruction, part-task trainer, exercise
employment, or other method specified in a unit or MAJCOM supplement.
5.10.2.2. Additional training must include demonstration of satisfactory knowledge or
proficiency to an examiner, supervisor or instructor (as stipulated in the Additional
Training description) to qualify as completed. (T-3). The examiner will indicate if the
additional training must be accomplished before the crewmember may perform DOC-
statement missions and duties in the assigned position. (T-3)
5.10.2.3. If a crewmember receives a U in specific area that originally required an event
or task certification from the unit commander (or division chief if delegated), the examiner
will recommend that the unit decertify the crewmember on that specific event and
recommend corrective retraining and recertification action.
5.10.2.4. If a crewmember exceeds the allotted time for completion of additional training,
the appropriate level will review the situation and direct appropriate action. Document the
circumstances with a Memorandum for Record (MFR) to be included in the AF Form 8 or
AF Form 4350. (T-3).
5.10.2.5. Document additional training on the AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350 in accordance
with paragraphs 7.4.5 and 7.4.8.5 (T-3).
5.10.2.6. If a crewmember fails to complete assigned additional training, the AOC/CC or
division chief will review the situation. The AOC/CC or division chief will determine
whether further additional training should be assigned or the crewmember’s qualification
(in the case of a Q2) should be revoked with a Commander directed downgrade to Q3, in
accordance with paragraph 5.16 (T-3).
5.10.2.6.1. The examiner must grade the areas subareas listed as “required” in the
general and specific evaluation sections. (T-3).
5.10.2.7. In addition to required areas and subareas, the examiner will grade any non-
required area and subarea that is observed during an evaluation and is listed in the graded
areas for that type of evaluation.
5.10.2.8. Grading criteria tolerances assume uninterrupted task evaluation and stable
system performance. If the evaluation is interrupted or system performance is degraded,
the examiner should allow for resulting errors and delays. In such cases, a verbal
evaluation may be an appropriate substitute.
5.10.2.9. Minor deviations or errors are acceptable, provided the examinee recognizes and
corrects their own errors, and such deviations do not jeopardize security, safety, or
command intent. Consider cumulative errors when determining the area and subarea grade.
5.10.2.10. The examiner may further identify any area or subarea as “Commendable” if,
in the examiner’s determination, the crewmember has demonstrated exceptional skill and
knowledge. Document in accordance with paragraph 7.4.8.6.2
24 AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020

5.11. Qualification Levels. Qualification levels are assigned to all evaluation types. The
evaluation qualification level is based on the compilation of the requisite results as well as the
evaluation graded areas and subareas. Qualification levels performance standards are based on the
following performance standards:
5.11.1. Q1. The crewmember demonstrated desired performance and knowledge of
procedures, equipment and directives within tolerances specified in the criteria. This should
be awarded when no discrepancies were noted. This may be awarded when discrepancies are
noted if:
5.11.1.1. No U grades were awarded for any graded area or sub-area.
5.11.1.2. In the judgment of the examiner, none of the Q- grades precluded awarding of a
Q1.
5.11.1.3. No remedial actions required additional training, only debriefed discrepancies.
5.11.2. Q2. The crewmember demonstrated the ability to perform duties safely, but there were
one or more graded area(s) or subarea(s) where additional training was assigned. The examiner
will assign this qualification level if:
5.11.2.1. A non-critical graded area or subarea grade of U was awarded.
5.11.2.2. In the judgment of the examiner, a Q2 may be given if there is justification based
on Q- performance in one or several graded areas or subareas.
5.11.3. Q3. The crewmember demonstrated an unacceptable level of safety, performance or
knowledge. The examiner will assign this qualification level if:
5.11.3.1. Any critical area graded U, requires qualification Level of Q3.
5.11.3.2. In the judgment of the examiner, a Q3 may be given if there is justification based
on Q- or U performance in one or several non-critical graded areas or subareas.
5.11.4. Assigning the evaluation qualification level.
5.11.4.1. The examiner completing the evaluation will assign the evaluation qualification
level.
5.11.4.2. A qualification level of Q1 or Q2 will be given only after all evaluation
requirements and requisites have been completed and given due consideration.
5.11.4.3. A qualification level of Q3 may be awarded at any time.
5.11.4.4. Examiner judgment will always be the determining factor in deciding the
evaluation qualification level.
5.11.5. Exceptionally Qualified (EQ) Designation. An EQ only applies to the evaluation
qualification level. Document on the AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350 in accordance with
paragraphs 7.4.6 and 7.4.8.2 An EQ may be given when:
5.11.5.1. The crewmember received a Q in all graded areas of the evaluation
5.11.5.2. The crewmember demonstrated exceptional skill and knowledge in the requisites
and the evaluation.
AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020 25

5.12. Requisites. These include a series of examinations. Examinations include the Open Book
Examination and Closed Book Examination. (See Chapter 6).
5.12.1. Minimum Requisites for each Evaluation Type:
5.12.1.1. QUAL: Completion of IQT. All initial Evals not completed in the formal training
unit will be documented on AF Form 8 as an in house initial QUAL in the comment section
of the evaluation form. (T-3).
5.12.1.2. MSN: For the first MSN evaluation in combination with the initial QUAL
evaluation, completion of IQT, MQT, and Open and Closed book examinations. For

basis. (Document on the AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350 in accordance with paragraph
7.4.1.6).
5.12.2.2. Out-of-the-Eligibility Period. For periodic evaluations accomplished outside of
the eligibility period, all requisites must be completed within a six-month period beginning
with the month in which the first requisite was completed or the evaluation was
administered, whichever occurs first. (T-3). Exception: For extended evaluations (see
paragraph 5.15.3.2.1), requisites may be completed between the beginning of the six-
month eligibility period prior to the original expiration date and the extended expiration
date.
5.12.2.3. One set of requisites may be used to satisfy the requirements of combined
evaluations.
5.12.2.4. Requisites from a completed evaluation may be used for subsequent evaluations
provided they cover all required areas and are within the requisite eligibility period for each
evaluation.
5.13. Failure to Pass an Evaluation.
5.13.1. Requalification Evaluation.
5.13.1.1. The examiner that administered the original evaluation will not normally
administer the requalification evaluation. (T-3).
5.13.1.2. A requalification evaluation cannot be successfully completed until the
crewmember performs to Q, Q-, or debriefed criteria for each area graded U.
5.13.1.3. The examiner may annotate that the requalification evaluation be accomplished
by any combination of verbal assessment, verification board briefing, performance tasks,
part-task simulations, and/or exercise employment suitable to the division.
26 AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020

5.13.1.4. Requisites remain valid that were successfully passed within the 6-month period
for an evaluation that was failed.
5.13.2. Mission Ready Status Downgrade. If a CMR or BMC crewmember receives a Q3
qualification level on a QUAL and/or MSN evaluation, the commander or division chief will
downgrade the examinee’s training status to non-combat mission ready or non-basic mission
capable (NCMR/NBMC) (T-3). For instructor evaluations, crewmember status (i.e., CMR or
BMC) need not be downgraded if the discrepancies were only in instructor areas or subareas.
5.13.3. Restrictions. When called for by this AFMAN or deemed necessary in the judgment
of the examiner, mission and/or duty restrictions will be imposed on the examinee until the
successful completion of assigned additional training and/or a requalification evaluation. (T-
3).
5.13.3.1. Restrictions will address the specific phase of operation that requires supervision
and the criteria for removal of the restrictions. (T-3).
5.13.3.1.1. QUAL evaluation: Place the examinee on supervised status (see
paragraph 5.14) for the crew position in which the evaluation was administered,
unless, in the opinion of the evaluator, the discrepancy is applicable to additional crew

qualification (e.g., specific crew position) or completely disqualifies an individual.
5.16.3. Downgrades may be directed without administering an evaluation using the following
guidance:
5.16.3.1. Examples of mission-related cases include breach of mission related discipline,
safety, etc. Incidents do not have to be directly observed by an examiner, but may be
recommended by an examiner from any division or specialty.
5.16.3.2. For non-mission-related cases, do not use as a substitution for, or in lieu of,
administrative or judicial actions (e.g. Letter of Counseling, Article 15, etc.). (Consult with
the supporting Staff Judge Advocate office for legal advice in these cases.) Use in cases
where such incidences directly affect the commander’s confidence in the crewmember’s
ability to safely operate the aircraft and/or equipment (e.g. lapse in judgment significant
enough to cast doubt on the crewmember’s decision-making abilities).
5.16.4. For downgrades that either remove qualifications or completely disqualify an
individual, the affected crewmember will cease acting in the qualification(s) from which they
have been downgraded effective with the date the commander initiated the downgrade.

qualifications, including a list of crew positions in which qualifications will be maintained in
accordance with paragraph 7.3.1.2
5.17.2. QUAL and MSN Evaluations. All crewmembers require a QUAL evaluation for the
first qualification in the AOC enterprise and a MSN evaluation for each Division in which a
crewmember maintains a qualification. These evaluations will be combined for the initial
evaluation. Ground requisites will be completed during each initial and recurring evaluation.
AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020 29

5.17.3. Failure to Pass an Evaluation. A downgrade resulting from a Q3 in a QUAL or MSN

evaluation applies only to the division for which the evaluation was administered, unless, in
the opinion of the evaluator, the discrepancy is applicable to additional divisions (e.g., for a
gross breach of safety, security, or command intent).

EXAMINATION PROGRAM

6.1. Purpose. The AOC examination program measures a crewmember’s knowledge of

normal/contingency procedures, theater missions, and other information essential for the safe and
effective planning and execution of air operations through the administration of written or
computer-based examinations.
6.2. Scope. This chapter applies to all AOC crewmembers who receive an evaluation. This
chapter includes requisite examination guidance for periodic evaluations. Requisite examinations
include open book examinations and closed book examinations as described in paragraph 5.12
6.3. Administrative Procedures.
6.3.1. Program Documentation. Units will document the unit-level crewmember examination
program. (T-3).

will be made available to crewmembers during testing. Electronic publications may be
used as references for open book examinations.
6.4.1.2. Each unit will develop an open book Secure Question Bank (SQB) that serves as
the source for the open book examination. Do not distribute the SQB to unit crewmembers
and safeguard it in the same manner as any other required STAN/EVAL examination. (T-
3).
6.4.2. Closed Book Examinations. Major emphasis of closed book examination questions will
be on AOC systems, AFIs, threat and mission knowledge that crewmembers must immediately
recall during planning and execution.
6.4.2.1. Lead MAJCOMs review MQFs annually; distribute changes to MQFs as
necessary and ensure/crew-specific MQFs are available to applicable MAJCOMs.
6.4.2.2. Local Procedures MQF. Units may develop and distribute a local procedures
MQF to augment other MQFs. Units may include any information necessary for mission
accomplishment not included in the MAJCOM MQF. Local instructions and unit
supplements to AFMAN 13-1AOC series are examples of sources for the Local Procedures
MQF. At least 10 percent of closed book examination questions will come from the local
procedures MQF. (T-3).
AFMAN13-1AOCV2 18 FEBRUARY 2020 31

6.5. Examination Management. Units will either maintain prepared examinations for each crew
position or generate a unique examination for each crewmember. (T-3).
6.5.1. Examination Question Review. AOC STAN/EVAL functions will review all crew
position-specific MQFs, SQBs, and prepared examinations (if used) annually and as soon as
possible but not later than three months after any changes in source documents. (T-2). If a
complete review was accomplished due to a source document change it may be annotated as
the annual review. Units will document procedures for the examination reviews in their
supplement to this AFMAN. (T-2).
6.5.2. If prepared examinations are maintained for each division:
6.5.2.1. Units with more than 10 crewmembers per division are required to develop and
control a minimum of two examinations for each division. (T-3).
6.5.2.2. Units having ten or fewer crewmembers per division require only one
examination.
6.5.2.3. When different positions are responsible for the same information, units are not
required to maintain separate examinations for each position.
6.5.2.4. Change a minimum of 50 percent of the questions on each prepared examination
each calendar year. (T-3).
6.5.3. If a unique examination is generated for each examination:
6.5.3.1. Units may use MAJCOM-approved software for examination creation.
6.5.3.2. Examination databases will contain at least twice the number of questions required
for each examination (e.g., if a 50-question examination is generated, there must be at least
100 questions in the examination database). (T-2).
6.6. Examination Security. STAN/EVAL personnel will maintain positive control of all
examinations, applicable answer sheets, and associated computer-based media. (T-3).
6.7. Written or Computer-Based Examinations. Grade written or computer based
examinations as a percentage of correct answers. The minimum passing grade is 85 percent. All
questions missed will be reviewed immediately following the examination. (T-3).
6.8. Failure to Pass a Requisite Examination.
6.8.1. Members failing a requisite examination (Open or Closed) will be placed in supervised
status in accordance with paragraph 5.14 until successful retesting is completed. (T-3).
6.8.2. Crewmembers who fail a requisite examination must be afforded an adequate study
period as defined by the AOC/CC or division chief prior to re-examination. (T-3).
6.8.3. Crewmembers who fail a requisite examination must successfully complete the
examination before the end of their eligibility period or the member loses the qualification
covered by the evaluation. (T-3).
6.8.4. For crewmembers who maintain multiple qualifications, supervised status resulting
from failure of either an open book or closed book examination applies only to the position for
which the examination was administered.

Chapter 7

DOCUMENTATION

7.1. Scope. Administration of the evaluation program requires accurate documentation. This
chapter provides documentation guidance for all crewmembers that require an evaluation to
establish qualification. The results of evaluations are recorded on the AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350.
The chronological history of evaluations for a crewmember is recorded on an AF Form 942,
Record of Evaluation or an AF Form 4349, Record of Intelligence Evaluation. Units will use
electronic database files for record keeping, trend analysis, etc. These AF forms are maintained in
the EF. (T-3).
7.1.1. AF Form 8 will be used for all career aviators. (T-3).
7.1.2. AF Form 4350 will be used for non-aviator careers in teams and/or positions specified
by the AOC/CC, to include intelligence personnel, unless specified by their applicable
standardization and evaluation program (e.g., cybercrew per AFI 17-202v2). (T-3).
7.1.3. In all instances of documentation, use of electronic forms is encouraged, to include use
of electronic signatures and wholly electronic EFs. In all instances, computer-generated forms
must mirror AF forms as published on the USAF E-Publishing web site. (T-3)

Officer, Final Approving Officer, the examinee and a Certifying Official (if additional
training was required).
7.3.2. General Data Entry. See AF Form 942 and AF 4349.
7.3.2.1. In all instances of data entry, if an electronic form is used, the format required by
the electronic form should be used (see also paragraph 7.1.3). However, an “X” can be
replaced with a “√” or other standard form, as long as such preference is standardized
throughout the document.
7.3.2.2. For date fields use a two-digit day, three-letter month and two-digit year format
(e.g. 24 Jun 18).
7.3.2.3. The “Eligibility Period” and “Expiration Date of Qualification” blocks will use a
three-letter month and two-digit year format (e.g. Jun 18).

through that unit. MAJCOM, NAF, and Group personnel are examples of attached personnel.
Basic Qualified (BQ)—The qualification of an individual who has successfully completed
IQT but is not qualified to perform combat crew duties within the unit. Individuals in this
status may perform non—combat missions without supervision.
Certification—Procedure used to document competency in a particular task. Not interchangeable
with “qualification” which requires AF Form 8 or AF Form 4350 documentation. It is also the

MQT, pass a mission qualification, comply with Continuation Training (CT) requirements, and
are assigned to a unit with a primary combat mission.
Continuation Training (CT)—Academic and positional training required to maintain CMR
qualification.
Debriefed Discrepancy—Remedial action taken by an examiner to remedy a discrepancy noted
during an evaluation. This action is accomplished during debrief of the evaluation wherein the
examiner provides briefing and/or instruction concerning the discrepancy and determines that the
examinee has gained the necessary knowledge or proficiency to remedy said discrepancy. The
discrepancy area description is annotated with “Debriefed” in the Examiner’s Remarks section of
the AF Form 8 Comments.
Division—One of the five core AOC divisions, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance
Division (IRD), Strategy Division (SRD), Combat Plans Division (CPD) Combat Operations
Division (COD), and Air Mobility Division (AMD).
Eligibility Period—This is the 6-month period prior to expiration date of an evaluation during
which all written and positional requirements for the recurring QUAL/MSN must be completed.
Evaluation—1) The procedure to determine the effectiveness of the performance of an
instructional product or process in order to ascertain specific causes for the effectiveness or lack
of it, and to make decisions appropriate to the extent of the effectiveness. Evaluation of formal
courses includes field evaluation and internal evaluation. 2) The review and analysis of qualitative
or quantitative data obtained from design review, hardware inspection, testing or operational use
of equipment. 3) The positional and written examinations used to determine proficiency as
prescribed by AFMAN and any applicable supplements. See also Joint Pub 1-02, Department of
Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms.
Evaluation Folder (EF)—A two-part folder containing the source documents that constitute the
history of C2 qualifications of each crew member.
INSTR Evaluation—A means of assessing a crewmember’s ability to instruct other crewmembers
in operations, academics and positional duties. This evaluation initially establishes or reestablishes
instructor qualification of the examinee in a weapon system (i.e., INIT INSTR and RQ INSTR) as
directed in this instruction.

their life cycle and clarifies responsibilities for all using and supporting organizations. The
designated lead command provides a primary input into the process of developing and maintaining
a force structure with a balance of complementary capabilities. For this weapon system, ACC is
the lead command.
Local Procedures Master Question—File—A bank of questions to cover unit and local
operations knowledge and procedures.
Master Question File (MQF)—A general knowledge question bank.
Mission Qualification Evaluation (MSN)—Qualifies a crewmember to perform assigned crew

is given after MQT and during Recurring Evaluation (QUAL/MSN) to determine an individual’s
CMR status. Requires AF Form 8 documentation.
No—Notice Evaluation (N/N)—An evaluation where the examinee is notified of the evaluation
at or after the beginning of normal preparation for the mission. These evaluations may be complete
qualification evaluations, a written examination only, or a positional evaluation covering only
selected areas.
Non—Combat Mission Ready/Non-Basic Mission Capable (NCMR/NBMC)—This is the
status of an individual who does not meet training cycle CT requirements, fails to meet lookback
requirements, or at unit commander or division chief direction. An instructor must supervise these
individuals.

Division or crew position in the AOC. Conduct this written and/or positional evaluation to check
an individual’s proficiency in performing operations duties or to let an examinee demonstrate to
the examiner the academic knowledge and ability to do assigned crewmember functions safely and
effectively. Requires AF Form 8 documentation.
Requalification (RQ) Evaluation—This is an evaluation required to regain an individual’s CMR
status after going unqualified. Requires AF Form 8 documentation.
