MEMORANDUM FOR HQ AFPC/DP2LSS
FROM: AF/A4S CFM
SUBJECT: 31P Officer Professional Development
1. PURPOSE: Recruit talented and capable candidates for Security Forces (SF) duty; Develop
experienced professionals who can deliver USAF and SF results; Retain highly skilled and broadly
recognized leaders.
2. DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES:
a. Develop SF officers with the right Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs) and
experience to successfully serve in SF, USAF and Joint assignments. Develop senior SF officers
with KSAs and experience for continued promotion and assignment opportunities. Support AF
Strategic Master Plan; and SF Flight Plan, Human Capital Strategy Goals and Objectives.
Communicate Officer Professional Development (OPD) goals and objectives to Commanders and
Supervisors in order to facilitate honest feedback and deliberate development for all SF officers.
b. Our commitment to delivering decisive results for the Air Force and our Joint and
coalition partners depends on our dedication and ability to produce functional experts and effective
leaders. To support our mission, we must provide SF professionals with a clear career-path and
ensure access to the appropriate mentoring at each step. We must also ensure SF personnel have the
requisite resilience and career field specific aptitude to execute the mission in all environments.
3. TACTICAL DEVELOPMENT: Each officer will gain a variety of experiences, to include duties
as a Flight Commander, AT/FP manager, Section Commander, Logistics OIC, Operations Officer,
and Director of Operations in garrison and deployed. The intent is for each CGO to be given the
opportunity to gain a deep understanding of our career field and build a solid foundation.
a. Flight Commander: SF CGOs will perform shift work, preferably during their first
assignment. This will provide our young officers with firsthand experience in executing our primary
mission and help them better understand the impact of shift work on our personnel. This experience
is a prerequisite prior becoming an Operations Officer.
b. Nuclear Experience: Every SF officer will gain nuclear security experience within their
first three assignments. These assignments include nuclear security missions at northern tier missile
wing installations as well as other distributed weapons storage area locations. This initiative will
ensure all officers gain experience in nuclear security and surety and will deliberately develop them
with this skill set.
4. OPERATIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
a. Operational competencies will develop an officer’s ability to lead people and foster
collaborative relationships. The broader scope will bring a deeper understanding of the Air Force
service level perspective on leadership as our focus shifts to interpersonal and team relationships.
v
b. Operations Officer: S3/Operations Officer experience is a critical step in the development
of an SF officer. This role provides the officer with critical firsthand knowledge of how an SF
squadron manages its day-to-day mission, functions as a cohesive team (across S-functions),
supports contingency operations, and interacts with its sister squadrons and mission partners to
further the owning Group/Wing mission. This experience is a prerequisite for squadron command.
c. Director of Operations: Director of Operations (DO) serves as the military deputy to the
Squadron Commander. The DO oversees all facets of unit mission and coordinates the efforts of the
S-staff at the direction of commander. May be on G-series orders, but WILL NOT have “C” prefix.
Reserved for specific units based on mission and size. Will also be used for senior officer
responsible for units, not in a command billet (e.g. MUNSS)
5. CAREER BROADENING: Defined as non-traditional SF billets or non-SF billets such as
instructor duty (SF school house, OTS, SOS, ACSC, etc.), executive officer/aide-de-camp, and
exchange officer. These experiences are a valuable part of OPD and should be considered once the
officer has sufficient experience at the tactical and operational levels in the SF career field.
6. STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT:
a. Command: Year groups eligible for command are determined by the CFM and
Development Team (DT) in order to fill projected command vacancies. Command provides SF
officers the opportunity to put experiences at the tactical and operational levels into practice.
b. Staff Experience: While staff experiences exist at all levels, for strategic level
development SF FGOs should seek positions at the OSD, SAF, AF, MAJCOM, AFIMSC, AFSFC,
AFIMSC Det, COCOM, Joint, NATO, or NAF levels.
7. DEVELOPMENTAL EDUCATION:
a. Core Training Opportunities: Include but are not limited to: Security Forces Intermediate
Course, Security Forces Advanced Course, SFS/CC Course, RAVEN, Ranger, FBINA, etc.
b. Intermediate Developmental Education/Senior Developmental Education (IDE/SDE): The
Central PME board boards eligible officers to attend DE in residence. For information, please refer
to the “Developmental Education Guide” published each year on www.mypers.af.mil.
8. Due to the importance of the SF mission, and the responsibility to our Airmen, it is paramount
we continue to provide you the right tools and experiences to prepare you for the awesome
responsibility of dynamic leadership. Your senior leaders will continue to review these fundamental
principles at each year’s DT and welcome any input you might have.

AFSC 31PX
PART I
1. Preface.
1.1. This publication implements Air Force Instruction 36-2651, Air Force Training Program.
This Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) is a comprehensive education and
training document that identifies life-cycle education and training requirements, training support
resources, and minimum requirements for this specialty. The CFETP will provide personnel a
clear career path to success and will instill rigor in all aspects of career field training.
1.2. The CFETP consists of two parts; supervisors plan, manage, and control training within the
specialty using both parts of the plan.
1.2.1. Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty.
Section A explains how everyone will use the plan; Section B identifies career field
progression information, duties and responsibilities, training strategies, and career path;
Section C associates each level with specialty qualifications (knowledge, education, training,
experience, and other mandatory requirements); and Section D indicates resource constraints.
Some examples are funds, manpower, equipment, and facilities.
1.2.2. Part II includes the following: Section A identifies the Specialty Training Standards
(STS), Training Requirements (TR) to support training, Air Education Training Command
(AETC) conducted training, and correspondence course requirements; Section B identifies the
training course index supervisors can use to determine resources available to support training
(included here are both mandatory and optional courses); Section C identifies available
support materials (an example is a Qualification Training Package (QTP), which may be
developed to support proficiency training); Section D identifies MAJCOM unique training
requirements supervisors can use to determine additional training required for the associated
qualification needs. At the unit level, supervisors and trainers will use Part II to identify, plan,
and conduct training commensurate with the overall goals of this plan.
1.3. Using guidance provided in the CFETP will ensure individuals in this specialty receive
effective and efficient training at the appropriate points in their career. This plan will enable us to
train today's officers to effectively operate in tomorrow's dynamic battlespace.

SECTION A - GENERAL INFORMATION
1. General Information.
1.1. Purpose. This CFETP provides the information necessary for the SF Officer AFCFM,
MAJCOM Security Forces Directors, training management, supervisors, trainers and
commanders to plan, develop, manage and conduct an effective and efficient career field training
program. The plan outlines the training individuals should receive in this AFSC in order to
develop and progress throughout their career. For purposes of this plan, training is divided into
entry level, upgrade, and proficiency training. Initial skills training is mandatory training for
upgrade to “Qualified” for officers. This training is conducted by AETC at the 343d Training
Squadron, Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. Upgrade training identifies the mandatory courses,
qualification requirements, and educational requirements for award of the Qualified (3) or Staff
(4) level. Proficiency training is additional training provided to personnel to increase their skills
and knowledge beyond the minimum required for upgrade.
1.2. Uses. The plan will be used by commanders and supervisors at all levels to ensure
comprehensive and cohesive training programs are available for each individual in the specialty.
1.2.1. Training personnel develop and revise formal resident, nonresident, field and
exportable training based on requirements established by the users and documented in Part II
of this CFETP. They will also work with the SF Officer AFCFM to develop acquisition
strategies for obtaining resources needed to provide the identified training.
1.2.2. Commanders will ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory
initial, upgrade, and proficiency requirements. OJT, resident training, and contract training or
exportable courses can satisfy identified requirements. MAJCOM-developed training to
support this AFSC must be identified for inclusion into the plan.
1.2.3. Each individual will complete the mandatory training requirements specified in this
plan. The list of courses in Part II will be used as a reference to support training.
1.3. Coordination and Approval. AF/A4SF develops this CFETP, the approval authority is the
SF Officer AFCFM. MAJCOM Directors and AETC training personnel will identify and
coordinate on the career field training requirements. The SF Officer AFCFM will initiate an
annual review of this document to ensure currency and accuracy.
SECTION B – 31PX CAREER FIELD PROGRESSION AND INFORMATION
1. Specialty Description.
1.1. Specialty Summary: This includes installation, weapon system, and resource security;
antiterrorism; law and order and investigations; military working dog functions; integrated
defense; armament and equipment; training; pass and registration; and combat arms. SF duties
may require use of deadly force. Related DoD Occupational Group: 270800.

research and development programs to assist in the design and acquisition of equipment.
2. Skill and Career Progression. Adequate training and timely progression from the Entry (1)
to the Qualified (3) level play an important role in the AF’s ability to accomplish its mission. It is
essential everyone involved in training must do his or her part to plan, manage, and conduct an
effective training program. The guidance provided in this part of the CFETP would ensure each
individual receives viable training at appropriate points in their career.
2.1. Entry (1) Level. AFSC 31P1 is awarded upon assignment to the SF career field. 31P1
officers attend the SF Officer Course (SFOC) as well as participate in an OJT program centered
on the tasks listed in the 31PX STS. 31P1 officers also require HST to meet local duty position
certification requirements. Primary duties include leading flight sized elements and assisting in
one of the unit’s S-functions. Exception: Field Grade Officers (FGOs) in the grade of Major/O-
4 and above, who cross train into the SF career field will not attend the SFOC. Instead, FGOs
will attend the SF Intermediate Course (SFIC), SF Advanced Course (SFAdvC), and other
courses as directed by the SF Officer AFCFM.
6
2.2. Qualified (3) Level. AFSC 31P3 is awarded when an officer meets the requirements listed
in Section C. 31P3 officers will attend the SFIC as they transition to Operations Officer duties (3-
6 years) and the SFAdvC as they approach their first look at Squadron Command (7-9 years).
Exception: FGOs will attend the SFIC and SFAdvC as directed by the AFCFM. Many 31P3
officers choose to begin advanced academic degrees during this time, though it is not currently a
mandatory requirement. All 31P3 officers are required to complete the appropriate level of
Professional Military Education commensurate with their rank (PDE and IDE). 31P3 officers
performing operations officer duties at joint bases or entering joint assignments at the CGO level
may be offered the opportunity to attend sister-service PDE such as the MPCCC/Military Police
Captains Career Course. 31P3 officers are assigned duties at all levels including squadron
commander. These officers continue OJT and self-directed training listed in the 31PX STS.
2.3. Staff (4) Level. AFSC 31P4 is awarded when an officer who holds the 31P3 AFSC is
assigned to a staff position above the wing level. 31P4 level officers work in functional areas on
Numbered Air Force, MAJCOM, and HQ AF, and other higher headquarters staff agencies.
3. Training Decisions. The CFETP uses a building block approach (simple to complex) to
encompass the entire spectrum of training requirements for the SF career field. The spectrum
includes a strategy of training requirements for when, where, and how to meet the training
requirements in a specific time period (if applicable). The strategy must be apparent and
affordable to reduce duplication of training and eliminate a disjointed approach to training.
Training requirements are determined by the Specialty Training Requirements Team (STRT),
U&TW, and SF Executive Council, and are enforced through policy managed by AF/A4SX.
3.1. Initial Skills. Initial and entry level training requirements are identified by a SF STRT and a
U&TW. The SFOC taught by AETC instructors of the 343d Training Squadron at Joint Base San
Antonio-Lackland is the initial skills training for the SF Officer Career Field.
3.2. Upgrade Requirements. SF Officers are upgraded to the Qualified (3) level after graduating
the SFOC, completing OJT requirements for core tasks outlined in the STS, and obtaining
necessary duty position certifications as directed by commanders. Exception: SF Officers who
cross train into the career field will hold the 31P1 AFSC for 24 months prior to upgrade to the (3)
level AFSC. Upgrade to the Staff (4) level occurs when an officer who holds the 31P3 AFSC is
assigned to a staff position above wing level (NAF, MAJCOM, AFIMSC, AF, etc.).
3.3. Proficiency Training. SF officers achieve job task proficiency through a combination of
formal courses and OJT. Formal courses provide task training to meet a specified standard
identified by a proficiency code. The SF Officer AFCFM and other members of the STRT use the
Proficiency Code Key (PCK) to designate the level of training provided in a formal course.
Tasks are identified as either subject knowledge only or those requiring task performance and
knowledge. Subject knowledge only tasks are generally listed by subject area. Most formal
courses are not designed to prepare a person to do all aspects of a job task without OJT.
3.3.1. “Go” Level. Formal training courses rarely develop students to the task performance
level 3 (competent). Officers must engage in OJT to reach at least the “Go” level of
performance on all required tasks. AFI 36-2651, Air Force Training Program, provides this
7
definition for the “Go” level: “Go means the individual can perform the task without
assistance and meets local demands for accuracy, timeliness, and correct use of procedures
(“Go” level equates to 3c in the STS PCK).” All SF officers must meet the “Go” level of
proficiency for home station duty tasks.
3.3.2. Supervisors conduct OJT or appoint trainers to ensure officers reach the “Go” level on
all performance tasks. OJT and extensive work experience is also essential to reach the
analysis (code C) and evaluation (code D) levels for subject knowledge tasks. SNCOs are
integral to the development of the CGOs and are complimentary to the senior officer
responsibilities. The AF expects that SNCOs take an active role in mentoring, coaching, and
training; AFH 36-2618 para 4.6.6 specifically highlights this intent.
3.3.3. The Air Force, sister services, and other government departments offer courses that
may enhance an officer’s proficiency. SF officers and their commanders should develop an
individualized training plan that will broaden the officer’s capabilities. Part II, Section B, lists
several courses that may be helpful when developing individual training plans.
4. Career Field Path. SF officers are part of the support officer structure. Career paths in this
arena will help you to plan and achieve career goals. There are no definitive, concrete steps that
need to be attained to reach rank or position; however, certain jobs or experiences, training and
PME will help you in achieving your goals. Future SF leaders will be those who achieve depth
and breadth through job experience, education and training, and professional development. A
solid foundation in these areas will pay high dividends in your future. Failure to build your
foundation at the appropriate time may, in effect, close certain doors for advancement later in
your career. In other words, your development as a future Air Force leader begins now. The AF
first and foremost needs leaders and all SF officers should put themselves on a course to
eventually compete for a command position at the squadron or group level. See Appendix C
(31P Continuum of Learning ((CoL)) and Appendix D (31P Career Development) illustrate
career field milestones for SF officers.

and operations. Additionally, these officers must be knowledgeable of the processes and
programs of each of the S-functions.
2.2.2. Training. For award of AFSC 31P3, completion of the SF Officer Course is
mandatory. EXCEPTION: FGOs cross training into the career field will attend the Security
11
Forces Intermediate and Advanced Courses for awarding of the 31P3 AFSC.
2.2.3. Experience. For award of AFSC 31P3, a minimum of 24 months of experience is
mandatory in an SF officer billet.
2.2.4. Other. See paragraph 2.1.5 of Part I, Section C above.
2.2.5. Training Sources and Resources: Core Tasks required for training and certification
can be found in Appendix-A.
2.2.6. Implementation: Per AFI 36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and
Enlisted), Military Personnel Services (MPS) monitors the eligibility of officers for upgrade
to a Qualified AFSC.
2.1.5.1. MPS uses the officer upgrade RIP to notify commanders or supervisors when
officers have met necessary experience requirements.
2.1.5.2. Commanders or supervisors review an officer's qualification for upgrade and
return annotated RIP to the MPS. If an officer is not qualified for upgrade, the
commander or supervisor will advise the MPS to establish a new suspense date. The new
suspense date will represent the commander’s or supervisor’s estimate as to when the
individual will be ready for upgrade.
2.3. Staff (31P4) Training Specialty Qualification.
2.3.1. No additional experience is required for the award of the Staff (4) Level. Officers in
the 31P3 AFSC are awarded the 31P4 AFSC when assigned staff duties above the wing level
(NAF, MAJCOM, AFIMSC, AF, OSD, etc.).
SECTION D - RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS
1. Purpose. This section identifies known resource constraints that preclude optimal and desired
training from being developed or conducted, including information such as cost and manpower.
Narrative explanations of each resource constraint and an impact statement describing what effect
each constraint has on training are included. Also included in this section are actions required, office
of primary responsibility, and target completion dates. Resource constraints will be, as a minimum,
reviewed and updated annually.
1.1. At this time, no resource constraints exist for any level of training or qualification.
1.2. If in the future a course lacks the appropriate resources to complete training to the desired
proficiency level, annotate the specific constraints on the STS.
12
PART II
SECTION A – SPECIALTY TRAINING STANDARDS
1. Purpose.
1.1. The students will demonstrate the desired learning outcomes contained in this STS.
1.2. No course completion is required for attaining the Entry (1) level AFS.
2. Documentation. Document and certify completion of training. Officers will complete
training during the SFOC. Additional core tasks as outlined in the STS must be certified and
recorded on an individual’s training records to the satisfaction of their respective commanders.
3. Qualitative Requirements. Attachment 1 contains the behavioral statement which makes up
the entry level course.
4. Qualification Training Requirements. Commanders will set forth standards for Entry (1)
level officers to be certified in duty positions. This certification combined with HST make up the
training necessary for the Qualified (3) Level.
5. Proficiency Designator Table.

2. AF In-residence Courses. The SF Courses officers attend throughout their career:
2.1. L3OBR31P1, SFOC, JBSA-Lackland: Newly assessed officers (Captain and below)
2.2. L3AZR3P071, SFIC, JBSA-Lackland: Mid-level CGOs (3-5 years)
2.3. L3OZR31P4, SFAdvC, JBSA-Lackland: Senior CGOs/FGOs (7-9 years)
2.4. SFIC and SFAC required in lieu of SFOC for newly assessed SF officers in the grade of
Major and above (e.g. ARC/ANG officers transitioning to SF, non-SF Officers selected to
command SF Squadrons).
3. Appendix B contains a course list sampling of those available to SF officers to enhance their
development.
SECTION C – SUPPORT MATERIALS:
1. OJT Support materials consist of Air Force publications (AFI, AFMANs, AFHs), Joint
Publications, Sister Service Field Manuals, Technical Orders (TO) and SFTRGs. Applicable
SFTRGs can be found on the SF SMARTNet (https://afsfmil.lackland.af.mil). These documents
contain comprehensive information on SF subjects, procedures or equipment. Use these
publications for qualification or sustainment training, or skills/knowledge enhancement.

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.
Legend:
– This mark is used alone instead of a scale value to show that no proficiency training is provided in the course or e-Course.
X This mark is used to indicate core tasks
^ This mark identifies DoDI 5525.15, Law Enforcement (LE) Standards and Training in the DoD, requirements.
* This mark identifies Wartime Tasks trained by the 343 TRS during wartime.
