The Air Force is committed to reviewing and reducing additional duties where they can, said CMSAF James Cody at ASC16. “A lot of effort is being focused right now” on two areas that impact every airman: ancillary training and computer-based training, he told a group of reporters on Wednesday. The Air Force plans to eliminate and redistribute some of those duties wherever they can, he said, and he is “optimistic that the review of the ancillary training and CBT will produce a greater net affect on the majority of airmen.”
A new report on modernizing Air Force training and education suggests borrowing a method from the civilian technology industry to help Airmen and Guardians build skills in key new areas like artificial intelligence: stackable certificates.
