Latest Roll Call discusses ancillary training requirements

  • Published
SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  This week's Roll Call discusses the decision by Air Force leaders to reduce the amount of ancillary training Airmen will perform each year.

The numerous training briefings Airmen are required to attend annually will be combined into a new "block instruction" plan, which will be arranged to more efficiently get Airmen the information they need.

"I will not let ancillary training overshadow our combat focus; these concrete steps will tip the scales to give Airmen more time to focus on their primary mission," said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley.

The 90-minutes of briefings will satisfy annual training requirements, but there still will be some instances when the standard briefings will be needed, such as Airmen arriving at their first duty station or heading to an overseas assignment.
