PREFACE

This report presents the results of an Air Force occupational survey ofthe Avionic Communications (AFSC 328X0) and Avionic Navigation Systems (AFSC328X1) career ladders for Air Force Reserve Component personnel in the USAFReserve and the Air National Guard. Authority for conducting specialty sur-veys is contained in AFR 35-2. Computer products used in this report areavailable for use by operations and training official.

The Air Force Occupational Survey Program has been in existence since~GE, 'hen initial rcsearzh _a. ,.2crtaken by the Human Resources LaboraLory(HPL) to develop a methodology for gathering and analyzing occupational infor-mation. In 1967, an occupational survey program was established within theAir Training Command and surveys were produced annually for 12 enlisted spe-cialties. In 1972, the program was expanded to conduct occupatiunal surveyscovering 51 career ladders annually. In late 1976, the program was againexpanded to include the survey of officer utilization Fields, to permit spe-cial management applications projects, and to support interservice or jointservice occupational analysis.

Mr William C. Cosgrove, Occupational Analyst, developed the surveyinstrument for AFSC 328X0, and Second Lieutenant Wendy Limbaugh, OccupationalAnalyst, developed the survey instrument for AFSC 328X1. Mr Cosgrove analyzedthe survey data and wrote the final report. Technical Sergeant Joe Seitz andMs Olga Velez provided computer programming support, and Mr Richard Ramos pro-vided administrative support. This report has been reviewed and approved forrelease by Lieutenant Colonel Charles D. Gorman, Chief, Airman AnalysisBranch, Occupational Analysis Division, USAF Occupational Measurement Center.

Copies of this report are distributed to Air Staff sections, major com-mands, and other interested training and management personnel. Additionalcopies may be requested from the USAF Occupational Measurement Center, Atten-tion: Chief, Occupational Analysis -. sion (OMY), Randolph AFB, Texas78150-5000.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

1. Survey Coverage: Inventory booklets were distributed to USAF Reserve andAir National Guard (ANG) personnel in the Avionic Communications (AFSC 328XO)a,- Avionic Navigation Systems (AFSC 328XI) career ladders during the winterand spring of 1988. Twenty-nine percent of the USAF Reserve Avionic Communi-cations personnel and 37 percent of the ANG Avionic Communications personnel:-sponded to the survey and comprise the AFSC 328X0 survey samples. The AFSC

Xl survey samples include 36 percent of the USAF Reserve Avionic Navigationystems personnel and 42 percent of the ANG Avionic Navigation Systems

p"rsonnel.

2. Career Ladder Structure: Both the USAF Reserve and the ANG Communica-tions (AFSC 328XO) survey samples had two separate jobs identified. One wasdirectly involved with the performance of technical duties and tasks withinthe career ladder, while the other consisted of supervisory duties and tasks.Jobs from the Avionic Navigation Systems (AFSC 328XI) survey data broke outslightly differently for the USAF Reserve and the ANG. Three jobs were iden-tified for the USAF Reserve: a general maintenance technically-ori-ited job,a supervisory job, and a quality assurance inspector job. The ANG survey datat -oduced four jobs. Three are the same as the USAF Reserve jobs, with thefourth being a Maintenance Controller. All jobs identified have counterpartsin the Active-duty Military survey.

. Career Ladder Progression: The 3- and 5-skill level jobs were quitetechnical in nature. Seven-skill level members continue to perform the sametechnical duties, while reporting some increase in responsibility for super-visory and managerial duties.

4. Training Analysis: Due to the RIVET WORKFORCE merger of AFSCs 328X0 and328X1 into AFSC 455X2 in October 1988, the three Specialty Training Standards(STS) developed for that AFSC were analyzed. The USAF Reserve and ANG datawere compared to the elements of all three STSs. Data for these two groupssupported all three documents, and even supported a number of elements notsupported by the Active-duty Military sample data. Survey data were also com-pared to the 45532 001 and more elements of the POI were supported than hadbeen by the Active-duty Military data.

5. Additional Issues: The ANG Bureau requested that information concerningenlistment and reenlistment incentives be gathered on Air National Guardsmen.The majority of ANG personnel sampled had not received any specific incentive

to join the ANG. The majority of those who did receive an incentive indicatedthey would have joined the ANG even without the incentive. Civilian job con-siderations was the major reason given for not remaining in the ANG.

6. Implications: Full-time USAF Reserve and ANG personnel perform some ofthe same jobs as their Active-duty Military counterparts. USAF Reserve andANG survey data support the training documents and personnel from these compo-nents should be consulted before changes are made. Surveying Air Force

SUPPLEMENTAL OCCUPATIONAL SURVEY REPORTRESERVE COMPONENT PERSONNEL

AVIONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND NAVIGATION SYSTEMS CAREER LADDERS(AFSC 328X0 AND AFSC 328X1)

INTRODUCTION

This is a report on the occupational survey of Air Force ReserveComponent (USAF Reserve and Air National Guard (ANG)) personnel in the AvionicCommunications (AFSC 328X0) and Avionic Navigation Systems (AFSC 328X1) careerladders completed by the USAF Occupational Measurement Center (USAFOMC) inMarch 1989. This report is a supplement to the Active-duty Military Occupa-tional Survey Report (OSR) of the Avionic Communications and Navigation Sys-tems career ladders published in March 1989. These surveys were requested bythe 3300th Technical Training Wing, Keesler Technical Training Center, toobtain current task and equipment data for use in evaluation of each careerladder training program. A RIVET WORKFORCE-directed merger of these twocareer ladders with the Doppler portion of AFSC 328X4 into the new Communica-tion and Navigation Systems career ladder (AFSC 455X2) and the combining oftheir training programs, on 31 October 1988, dictated the results of the twosurveys be reported in one report. ' , ..

These surveys mark the first time that all traditional and full-time Air -.

Force Reserve Component (USAF Reserve and ANG) personnel of any career ladderwere included in an occupational survey. Full-time Air Force Reserve Compo-nent personnel participated in an earlier Corrosion Control Occupational Sur-vey. The inclusion of Air Force Reserve Component personnel in these surveyswas requested by the ANG Bureau with the concurrence of Headquarters, USAFReserve Components. The rationale for inclusion of Air Force Reserve Compo-nent personnel in these occupational surveys was to gather data on them asseparate groups, analyze their responses just as the Active-duty Militaryresponses are analyzed, and determine whether there are discernible differ-ences between Active-duty Military personnel and Air Force Reserve Componentpersonnel. Results of these surveys and those from the earlier AFSC 427X1,Corrosion Control survey, will help determine the feasibility and methodologyfor surveying USAF Reserve and Air National Guard personnel in the future.

Backqround

USAF Reserve and ANG personnel have held Avionic Communications andAvionic Navigation Systems AFSCs since the career fields were established in1951. Avionic Communications (AFSC 328X0) personnel provide their organiza-tions with overall maintenance support for avionic communications equipmentand test equipment. The Avionic Navigation Systems (AFSC 328X1) airmen main-tain avionic navigation systems equipment and related test equipment for theirunits.

Entry into these career ladders for USAF Reserve and ANG personneloccurred in at least two ways. One was where individuals joined from Active-duty Military already qualified in the AFSC. Another was where individualsentered the USAF Reserve or ANG from civilian life and were selected to attendthe aporopriate tPchnical training school. Completion of the training schoolqualified the airmen as 3-skill level personnel in their respective fields.

Additional information concerning the backgrounds of these AFSCs can befound in the BackQround section of the Active-duty Military OSR.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY

Inventory Development

Data for these surveys were collected using USAF Job Inventory AFPT90-328-417 (October 1987) for AFSC 328X0 and USAF Job Inventory AFPT90-328-819 (October 1987) for AFSC 328XI. The development of each inventoryis described in more detail in the Inventory Development section of theActive-duty Military OSR. At least two of the subject-matter experts inter-viewed were members of the USAF Reserve.

Specific questions were added to the background section of the job inven-tory booklets of each AFSC to help identify USAF Reserve and ANG personnel andtheir duty status. At the request of the ANG Bureau, questions concerningretention of ANG personnel were also included. Data gathered on these ques-tions are discussed in the ADDITIONAL ISSUES section of this report.

Survey Administration

From December 1987 through April 1988, while Consolidated Base PersonnelOffices at operational bases worldwide were administering the respective sur-veys to Avionic Communications and Navigations Systems Active-duty Militarypersonnel, USAF Reserve and ANG personnel were also completing the Job Inven-tories at home. Unlike the first survey of Air Force Reserve Component per-sonnel in the Corrosion Control Career Ladder (AFSC 427XI), where the jobinventories were sent to points of contact at the individual's unit, these jobinventories were sent directly to the individual at his or her home address.Names and home addresses of the Air Force Reserve Component participants camefrom computer-generated mailing lists provided by the Air Force MilitaryPersonnel Center (AFMPC), Randolph Air Force Base, Texas.

All individuals who filled out an inventory first completed an identifi-cation and biographical information section. Next, they answered questions inthe background portion of the inventory, where USAF Reserve and ANG personnelanswered additional questions not required to be answered by Active-duty Mili-tary personnel. They were then directed to go through the booklet and checkeach task performed in their current job. Finally, they were asked to go backand rate eacn task they had ckiEJ . d using a 9-point scale reflecting relative

time spent on each task compared to all other tasks. Ratings ranged frcm I(indicating a very small amount of timc spent) to 9 (indicating a very largeawount of time spent). The relative time spent on tasks was computed by first'x~talinj all rating values on the inventory. Then the rating value for each

divided by this total and the result multiplied by 100. The percent7'-e soent ratings were used with the percent members performing values to

help describe the various groups in the career ladder.

Survey Sample

All Air Force Reserve Component personnel in each career ladder whose,name and address were on the AFMPC listings were provided survey booklets. Anaccompanying letter explained the survey and requested that the addressee com-plete and return the booklet to USAFOMC in a preaddressed postage paid enve-lope provided.

Tables 1 and 2 show the number of USAF Reserve personnel in the surveysample of each AFSC. Tables 3 and 4 provide similar information for the ANGsjrvey samples. The 141 USAF Reserve respondents in the AFSC 32?':0 surveyrepresent approximately 29 percent of those eligible, while in the AFSC 328X1survey the 168 individuals represent approximately 36 percent of the eligiblepersonnel. The 190 ANG participants in the AFSC 328X0 survey representapproximately 37 percent of the eligible personnel and in the AFSC 328XI sur-Ly the 266 airmen are approximately 42 percent of those eligible. These sur-

vey sample percentages are not as favorable as those for the Active-dutyMilitary samples reported in the Active-duty Military OSR. They are also notas high as a previous Air Force Reserve Component survey of the CorrosionControl career ladder (Ar-Se 427Xi) where L;,e samples were 51 percent for theUSAF Reserve personnel and 52 percent for the ANG. The reason for thisreduced percentage of returns appears to be the result of not having the sur-veys go through a unit for control purposes, as the Active-Duty Military sur-veys and the previous Air Force Reserve Component survey did. It should benoted, however, t~at the samples, while comparatively low, are adequate foranalysis.

Table 5 shows the percentage of survey respondents by command for theConmmunications survey and Table 6 gives the same type of information for theNavigations Systems survey. Table 7 provides selected background data forboth USAF Reserve and ANG personnel in the Communications surveys and Table 8snows similar data for both components in the Navigation Systems surveys.Although many of the respondents in each su. ey work for their specific compo-nent full-time in a civilian capacity (i.e., Air Reserve Technicians (ART),Air Guard Reserve (AGR), or Air National Guard Technician (ANGT)), they arealso military members of that component. The surveys were designed to gatherdata about the individuals as military personnel and no civilian grade struc-ture was included. The traditional Reservist or Guardsman are those personnelwho do not work full-time for their components, but perform on a part-timebasis at unit drills.

SPECIALTY JOBS(Career Ladder Structure)

A USAF occupational analysis begins with an examination of the careerladder structure of jobs performed by personnel of the AFSC. Each individualin the sample performs a set of tasks, called a job. For the purpose of orga-nizing individual jobs into similar units of work, an automated job clusteringprogram is used. This hierarchical grouping program is a basic part of theComprehensive Occupational Data Analysis Program (CODAP) system for job analy-sis. Each individual job description (all the tasks performed by that indi-vidual and the relative amount of time spent on those tasks) in the sample iscompared to every other job description in terms of tasks performed and therelative amount of time spent on each task in the job inventory. The auto-mated system is designed to locate the two job descriptions with the mostsimilar tasks and percent time ratings and combine them to form a compositejob description. In successive stages, new members are added to initialgroups or new groups are formed based on the similarity of tasks performed andsimilar time ratings in the individual job descriptions.

The basic identifying group used in the hierarchical job structuring pro-cess is the job. When there is a substantial degree of similarity betweenjobs, they are grouped together and identified as a ob cluster. Specializedjobs, too dissimilar to fit within a job cluster, are labeled independentjobs. The job structure information resulting from this grouping process (thevarious jobs within the career ladder) can be used to evaluate the accuracy ofcareer ladder documents (AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions and Specialty Train-ing Standards) and to gain a better understanding of current utilization pat-terns. The above terminology will be used in the discussion of career ladderstructures.

Overview of Specialty Jobs

Each AFSC was administered separately, providing two distinct data files.The USAF Reserve and ANG data relating to each AFSC were also separated intounique files. This created, in effect, four separate and distinct groups toanalyze. The jobs for each of the four groups are individually discussed.Information for each AFSC, displayed in tabular form, will however, includeUSAF Reserve and Air National Guard data. When appropriate, Active-duty Mili-tary data will also be displayed for comparison analysis.

Within the respective component subparagraphs, each job will include astage (STG) number shown beside the title which is a reference to computerprinted information. The number of personnel in each job (N) is also shown.The jobs described in the following subparagraphs are all part of the overallAvionic Communications or Navigation Systems career ladders. For the sake ofbrevity, "Avionic Communications" or "Avionic Navigation Systems" is assumedto be an element of each job title in the respective sections and will not beincluded in the job titles identified.

Avionic Communications (AFSC 328X0) Job Structures

Table 9 shows the relative time spent in each duty for the Avionic Commu-

nications, (AFSC 328X0) job groups of both the USAF Reserve and ANG. Table 10provides selected background data for AFSC 328X0 jobs found in both the USAF

Reserve and ANG.

USAF Reserve Specialty Jobs: Survey data for AFSC 328X0 USAF Reserve person-nel show a career ladder with two distinct jobs. One is a job cluster withtechnical AFSC-specific responsibilities for the maintenance of avionic commu-nications equipment within their organizations. The second is a supervisorjob with very little technical responsibilities. Appendix A contains tasklistings for the jobs performed by USAF Reserve personnel within AFSC 328XO.

Based on task similarity and relative time spent, the two jobs performedby USAF Reserve 328X0 personnel are illustrated in Figure 1 and are describedbelow. These two jobs represent 91 percent of the survey population, with theremaining 9 percent performing tasks which did not group them into a specificjob or with either defined job.

I. GENERAL MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN CLUSTER (STGO08, N=118). This jobcluster is the technical AFSC-specific job with broad responsibilities in theavionic communications maintenance area and includes 84 percent of the sample.Both flightline and field shop tasks are inherent in this job. The averagenumber of tasks for this job (192) exemplifies a wide range. Thirty-six per-cent of the relative time is spent on the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) radio,Interphone, and High Frequency (HF) radio systems. Another 21 percent isspent on general avionic systems maintenance, with 8 percent devoted to admin-istrative tasks. Eight other communications systems account for 23 percent ofthe relative time spent. Three percent of the relative time is spent on eachof the flightline and field shop maintenance of navigation systems, and theremaining time is distributed among the other duties. Table 11 provides exam-ples of tasks representative of this job.

There are three subgroups in this job cluster. All subgroups work on thesame systems, but differ as to the relative time spent working on those sys-tems. As an example, personnel in each of the three subgroups report main-taining UHF Radio Systems (Duty G), but their average percent of relative timespent differs and is 11, 20, and 18.

Members of this job cluster report an average grade of E-5 with 56 per-cent having a 7-skill level DAFSC. Thirty-two percent of the incumbents arefull-time personnel, with 68 percent coming from the Traditional Reservistranks.

II. SUPERVISOR (STGO19, N=1O). This job, with 7 percent of the samplepopulation, provides nontechnical supervision for this career ladder in theUSAF Reserves and has responsibility for organizing, planning, administrating,evaluating, inspecting, directing, implementing, and training functions.

Eighty-three _Percent of the relative time of this job is taken up with tasksin those functional areas. Even though this job is not technically oriented,5 percent of the relative time is spent performing general avionic systemsmaintenance tasks, with the remaining 12 percent spread over the communica-tions maintenance responsibilities of the career ladder. The average gradefor the incumbents is E-7, with 100 percent of them having a 7-skill level.Sixty percent report being full-time personnel and 40 percent report beingTraditional Reservists. Typical tasks of the 95 average performed arereflected in Table 12.

ANG Specialty Jobs: Survey data for ANG airmen with AFSC 328X0 show a careerladder with the same two jobs found in the USAF Reserve sample. These twojobs represent 94 percent of the survey population, with the remaining 6 per-cent performing tasks which did not group them with either defined job or eachother. Task listings for these jobs are contained in Appendix B. The twojobs performed by ANG Communications personnel are illustrated in Figure 2 anddescribed below.

I. GENERAL MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN CLUSTER (STGO08, N=173). This jobcluster, with 91 percent of the ANG sample, is the technical AFSC-specific jobwith broad responsibilities in the avionic communications maintenance area.The average number of tasks performed (195) indicates a broad job whichincludes responsibility of both flightline and field shop tasks. Thirty-fivepercent relative time was spent on the UHF radio, Interphone, and HF radiosystems with another 21 percent spent on general avionic systems maintenanceand 9 percent devoted to administrative tasks. Seven other communicationssystems account for 17 percent of the relative time spent. Seven percent ofthe relative time is spent on cross utilization tasks, with the last 9 percentof the relative time spread among the remaining duties. The tasks represen-tative of this job cluster are the same as those for the Active-duty Militaryand USAF Reserve jobs (Table 11).

There are four subgroups in this job cluster. They differ because of theamount of time reported on the different systems. All of the same systems aremaintained by each subgroup, but the relative time spent on them varies. Anexample is Duty L, Maintaining Interphone Systems., where the survey datareflects the percentages of relative time spent by the incumbents of the sub-groups as 10, 20, 13, and 9.

Members of this Job cluster report an average grade of E-6 with 52 per-cent having a 7-skill level DAFSC. Fifty-four percent of the incumbents areTraditional Guardsmen, with 46 percent coming from full-time ANG Technician(43 percent) and Air Guard Reserve (3 percent) ranks.

II. SUPERVISOR (STGO19, N--6). This Job provides the nontechnical super-vision of ANG AFSC 328X0 personnel, representing 3 percent of the sample.Ninety-two percent of the relative time of this job is spent on tasks in theareas of organizing, planning, administration, evaluating, inspecting, direct-ing, implementing, and training. These supervisors spend only 8 percent of

their time on tasks related to the technical aspects of the career ladder.,he grade for the incumbents is E-7, with 100 percent of them having a 7-skilllevel. Sixty-seven percent report being full-time personnel and 33 percentare Traditional Guardsmen. Typical tasks of the 89 average tasks performedare shown in Table 12.

.cmponent Comparisons: One of the major reasons to include USAF Reserve andANG personnel in the Avionic Communications survey was to determine if thepersonnel of each component are doing the same work as each other and if theyare doing the same types of jobs. The two jobs performed by USAF Reservepersonnel appear to be the same as those performed by ANG personnel and areDasically the same as the two jobs, with the same titles, found in the Active-cuty Military OSR. As reflected ir Table 9, the percentages of relative timespent on duties are extremely close and supports the premise that the jobs arethe same. The tasks performed by personnel in each component job listed havevery similar percent members performing statistics (Tables 11 and 12). Thisis also a strong indication that the airmen in the Active-duty Military, the6SAF Reserve, and the ANG samples perform these two jobs in common.

Avionic Navigation Systems (AFSC 328X1) Job Structures

Table 13 reflects the relative time spent in each duty for the Avionic,,avigation Systems (AFSC 328XI) job groups of both the USAF Reserve and ANG.Table 14 shows selected background data for AFSC 328X1 jobs found in both theUSAF Reserve and ANG.

USAF Reserve Job Specialty Jobs: Responses from USAF Reserve 328X1 personnelin the survey sample indicate a career ladder with three jobs. Analysis iden-tified one job cluster and two independent jobs. The job cluster is technicalin nature and AFSC-specific. The other two jobs are supervisory and adminis-trative, with limited technical tasks performed.

These three jobs represent 93 percent of the sample population, with theremaining 7 percent performing tasks which did not group them with either

defined job or each other. Based on task similarity and relative time spent,tne division of jobs performed by AFSC 328X1 personnel is illustrated in Fig-ure 3, and a description of each job is provided below. Appendix C containstask listings for the jobs performed by USAF Reserve personnel within AFSC328X1.

I. GENERAL MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN CLUSTER (STGO15, N=139). This is theAFSC-specific core job and is performed by the largest single group of 328X1USAF Reserve personnel, representing 83 percent of the survey sample. Thisjob has a wide variety of tasks performed, comprising the full range of careerladder functions, on both the flightline and in the field shop. Personnelholding this job report that almost 70 percent of their time is spent main-taining 11 navigation systems, with the preponderance of that time on AirborneIdentification, Search and Weather Radar, Tactical Air Navigation Systems, and

Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). Twelve percent of their time is taken upwith performing general avionics system maintenance and 4 percent with admin-istrative and supply tasks. The incumbents report 8 percent of their relativetime spent on cross utilization work doing avionic communications tasks. Theaverage number of tasks performed in this job is 418, with a sample of repre-sentative tasks shown in Table 15.

Survey data show there are three subgroups within this job cluster.These subgroups differ only because of the relative time spent on the naviga-tions systems maintained. The subgroups maintain the same systems but reflectdifferent relative time spent on them. As an example, each of the three sub-groups show that Variable OMNI Range (VOR) Systems (Duty I) are maintained.The incumbents of the different subgroups, however, indicate they average 3,6, or 11 percent of their relative time working on that system.

Members of this job cluster report an average grade of E-6 and averageover 9 years in the career field. There are only 2 percent of the incumbentsreflecting a 3-skill level DAFSC, while the remaining 98 percent is splitevenly between the 5- and 7-skill levels. Half of these airmen are AirReserve Technicians and the other half are Traditional Reservists.

II. SUPERVISOR (STG023, N=8). This job provides nontechnical supervi-sion for USAF Reserve Navigation Systems maintenance personnel and consists of5 percent of the sample. Seventy-seven percent of the relative time of thisjob is spent on tasks in the organizing, planning, administrative, evaluating,inspecting, directing, implementing, and training functional areas. This jobcontains the senior personnel of the career ladder, with the average grade ofE-7. One hundred percent of the individuals in this job cluster have a7-skill level. The makeup of this job is 7 full-time Air Reserve Techniciansand one Traditional Reservist. A sample of the 173 average tasks performed isshown in Table 16.

III. QUALITY ASSURANCE INSPECTOR (STGO16, N=8). This job, representing5 percent of the sample, is different from the other two USAF Reserve jobsbecause of the specialization on tasks pertaining to inspecting and evaluat-ing. Thirty-seven percent of the relative time is spent on tasks involved ininspecting and evaluating, with 16 percent on administrative tasks, and anadditional 18 percent of relative time is dedicated to performing general avi-onic systems maintenance. The job entails a rather narrow scope, averagingonly 25 tasks performed. The average grade of the incumbents of this job isE-6, with 87 percent having a 7-skill level. Traditional Reservists make up 63percent of the personnel holding this job, with the remaining 37 percent AirReserve Technicians. Typical tasks performed by these personnel are found inTable 17

ANG Specialty Jobs: Responses from AFSC 328X1 personnel in the ANG surveysample indicate a career ladder with four jobs. Analysis identified one jobcluster and three independent jobs. The cluster is the technical AFSC-specific job accounting for the majority of the sample population. The other

three jobs are supervisory and administrative in nature with limited technicalresponsibilities. Appendix D contains task listings for the jobs performed byANG personnel with AFSC 328XI.

The four jobs represent 92 percent of the sample population, with theremaining 8 percent performing tasks which did not group them with eitherdefined job or each other. The division of jobs performed by AFSC 328X1National Guard personnel is illustrated in Figure 4, and brief descriptions ofthe jobs are provided below. Appendix D contains task listings for the jobsperformed by Air National guard personnel with AFSC 328XI.

I. GENERAL MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN CLUSTER (STGO15, N=215). This clus-ter forms the maintenance core for Avionic Navigation Systems and is comprisedof 81 percent of the ANG sample. This job encompasses a varied task composi-tion, including both flightline and field shop tasks. Personnel holding thisjob report that almost 69 percent of their time is spent maintaining 13 navi-gation systems, with most of the time spent on Airborne Identification, Searchand Weather Radar, Tactical Air Navigation Systems and ILS. Additionally, 13percent of their time is taken up with performing general avionics systemmaintenance and 5 percent with administrative and supply tasks. The averagenumber of tasks performed in this job is 357, with the tasks shown in Table 15being representative.

Survey data show there are four 3ubgroups within this job cluster thatdiffer in the amount of relative time spent working on the different systems(duties) and the time spent doing tasks within the duties. An example is DutyJ, Maintaining ILS, where the survey data reflects the percentages of relativetime spent by the incumbents of the subgroups as 10, 16, 11, and 9.

Members of this job cluster report an average grade of E-6, with only 3percent holding a 3-skill level DAFSC. Fifty-two percent of the incumbentsare ANG Technicians, 43 percent Traditional Guardsmen, with the remaining 5percent made up of Air Reserve Guardsmen.

II. SUPERVISOR (STG023, N-3. This job provides supervision of a non-technical nature, with 91 percent of the relative time spent on tasks in theorganizing, planning, administrative, evaluating, inspecting, directing,implementing, and training functional areas. This job contains senior person-nel of the career ladder with 69 percent holding the grade of E-7. One hun-dred percent of the individuals in this job cluster have a 7-skill level. ANGTechnicians comprise 69 percent of the incumbents and 31 percent are Tradi-tional Guardsmen. Examples of the average 86 tasks performed are found inTable 16.

III. QUALITY ASSURANCE INSPECTOR (STGO11, N11). This job differs fromthe other ANG jobs because of the specialization on tasks pertaining toinspecting and evaluating. Thirty percent of the time for this job is spenton Lasks nvolving inspecting and evaluating, with another 24 percent spent onadministrative and supply tasks. An additional 8 percent of relative time is

dedicated to performing general avionic systems maintenance. The job is arather narrow one, with an average of only 28 tasks performed. The averagegrade of the incumbents of this job is E-6, with 82 percent having a 7-skilllevel. All categories of ANG personnel are represented in the job, with Tra-ditional Guardsmen making up 64 percent of the incumbents. Typical tasks per-formed by these personnel are found in Table 17.

XI. MAINTENANCE CONTROLLER (STG064, N-5). The airmen in this job, whichis very narrow in scope, represent 2 percent of the sample. Sixty-five per-cent of the relative time in this job is taken up with administrative and sup-ply tasks. The job consists of performing the administrative tasks necessaryto control avionic navigation workflow and insure proper documentation isaccomplishea. All of the incumbents hold the grade of E-7 and average 11years in the career field. Four of the incumbents are Traditional Guardsmen,ore is an Air Reserve Guardsman. No ANG Technicians are represented in thejob. Average number of tasks performed in this job is 10 and representativetasks are found in Table 18.

Component Comparisons: A major reason to include USAF Reserve a,-d ANG person-nel in the Avionic Navigation Systems survey was to find out if the personnelof each component are doing the same work as each other and if they are doingthe same types of jobs. Based on task similarity and relative time spent induties, the three jobs performed by USAF Reserve personnel are the same asthose performed by ANG personnel and are the same as the three jobs, with thesame titles, found in the Active-duty Military OSR. The fourth job found inthe ANG sample is the same as the Maintenance Controller found in the Active-duty Military survey. As reflected in Table 13, the percentages of relativetime spent on duties are extremely close. Combine this with the similarlyhigh percent members performing tasks in each component job (Tables 15 through18) and the premise that the jobs are the same is strongly supported. Thisalso provides strong indications that the USAF Reserve and ANG jobs are basi-cally the same as similarly titled jobs in the Active-duty Mil-itary sample.

ANALYSIS OF DAFSC GROUPS

DAFSC analysis identifies similarities and differences in duty and taskperformance at the various skill levels. This information may then be used toevaluate how well career ladder documents, such as AFR 39-1 Specialty Descrip-tions and the Specialty Training Standards (STS), reflect what career ladderpersonnel are actually doing in the field.

Comparison of the duty and task performance among DAFSC 3-, 5-, and7-skill level personnel is normally accomplished. Data for the Active-dutyMilitary 3-skill level personnel for both AFSC showed that their job wasalmost the same job as 5-skill level individuals which allowed analysis of thetwo as a single combined group. The data for the Reserve Components indicates

that the 3-skill level and 5-skill level personnel also have similar jobs, butnot to the extent required for analyzing them as a combined group. Therefore,they will be discussed separately in this rpport.

Avionic Communications (AFSC 328X0)

Table 19 shows USAF Reserve and ANG data on the percent time spent induties for each of the skill levels. It should be noted that there are 5 sys-tems in duties Q, R, S, T, and U that, with one exception, have so little timespent on them that they are not reportable. The data for the other dutiesindicate that the USAF Reserve and ANG breakout are sufficiently different towarrant separate discussion.

USAF Reserve DAFSC Groups: Four individuals, representing 3 percent of thissample, make up the 3-skill level group. They report having a narrow span ofresponsibility, performing an average of only 49 tasks, with 50 percent oftheir time taken up by 25 tasks. They soend the majority of their time, 76percent, on four systems (General Avionic, UHF Radio, HF Radio, and InterphoneSystems), 15 percent on Administrative functions, and the remaining time onthree of the other 12 systems. They indicate they do not pertorm any tasks inthe navigation maintenance areas. The time-spent overlap on common tasksbetween this group and the 5-skill level group is only 50 percent, which indi-cates the jobs are similar but can not be considered to be the same.

The 5-skill level group of 51 airmen has a much broader job, with anaverage of 155 tasks and 50 percent of their time taken up by 77 tasks. Theyspend the majority of their time (61 percent) on the same four duties thattake the majority of the 3-skill level time. These individuals work on 8 ofthe remaining 12 systems and also perform tasks on navigation systems. Theserespondents show a time spent overlap on common LdSKS w il, Lii 7-skill levelpersonnel of 73 percent, indicating a job very similar to that of the 7-skilllevel.

The 7-skill level group of 86 individuals has the broadest job, perform-ing an average of 195 tasks, with 50 percent of their time devoted to 116tasks. They perform technical AFSC related work with only about 31 percent oftheir relative time spent in the administrative, supervisory, managerial, andtraining areas as compared to the 49 percent spent by their Active-duty Mili-tary counterparts. Additionally, they are less likely to have a supervisoryrole, with only 58 percent reporting they supervise one or more people, com-pared to 74 percent of the Active-duty Military performing a supervisory role.

ANG DAFSC Groups: The 3-skill level for this category consists of only 5 peo-ple or 3 percent of the sample. Like the Reserve group, these individualsreport spending the majority of their time (76 percent) in four duties, butonly three of them are the same, General Avionics, UHF Radio, and HF Radiosystems. The fourth system for this group, accounting for 17 percent of theirtime, is the VHF AM/FM Radio System. This is the only skill level group toreport such a heavy concentration of time in this duty. Their job is

comparatively narrow, with an average of 93 tasks and 50 percent of their timespent on only 45 tasks. This group reports the least amount of time spent onadministrative functions (3 percent) of any other group. Overlap on commontasks with the 5-skill level group is 64 percent, which shows similarity butsufficient difference to say the jobs are different.

The 83 airmen in the 5-skill level group (representing 44 percent of thesurvey sample) perform an average of 165 tasks, with 78 tasks taking up over50 percent of their time. This group has a broader job than the 3-skill levelgroup, with considerably less time spent on the VHF AM/FM Radio System andmore time spent on navigation systems tasks. A 78 percent time spent overlapon common tasks with the 7-skill level personnel indicates that the two skilllevels perform jobs that are quite similar.

The 102 individuals holding the 7-skill level have the broadest job, per-forming an average of 195 tasks, with greater than 50 percent of their timespent on 116 tasks. They perform a technical AFSC-related job, with onlyabout 26 percent of their relative time spent on administrative, supervisory,managerial, and training tasks as compared to the 31 percent spent by theirUSAF Reserve compatriots, plus they are less liKely to be in a s,:pervisoryrole, with only 51 percent to 58 percent reporting thp supervision of one ormore people. These are the technical experts of the field who continue toperform the day-to-day maintenance.

Avionic Navigation Systems (AFSC 328X1)

Table 20 reflects data for the USAF Reserve and ANG on the percent timespent in duties for each of the skill levels. As with AFSC 328X0, data shownfor both the USAF Reserve and ANG are sufficiently different to warrant sepa-rate discussion of each skill level.

USAF Reserve DAFSC Groups: The 5 airmen in the 3-skill level group (repre-senting 3 percent of the survey sample) reported performing an average of 342tasks, with 50 percent of their time spent on 127 tasks. A good portion oftheir time (25 percent) is spent on the performance of general avionic systemsmaintenance tasks. The next largest amount of their time (14 percent) isspent on the cross-utilization maintenance of communications equipment. With8 percent relative time spent on administration, supply, training, and AssistTask Qualification Training (ATQT) tasks, the remaining relative time isspread over the other 14 systems. The time spent on overlap of common tasksbetween this group and the 5-skill level group is 63 percent, indicating jobsimilarity but not necessarily the same job.

The 5-skill level group of 72 airmen, making up 43 percent of the sample,have a slightly expanded job, with an average of 377 tasks and 50 percent oftheir time taken up by 198 tasks. They spend much less time performing gen-eral avionic systems maintenance (12 to 25 percent) and communications equip-ment maintenance (7 to 14 percent) tasks than the 3-skill level personnel.Their time is spent on tasks related to four main systems: Search ,.nd WeatherRadar, Tactical Air Navigation, Instrument Landing, and Airborne

Identification Systems, accounting for 42 percent of the relative time as com-pared to 25 percent for the 3-skill level personnel. These respondents show atime spent overlap on common tasks with the 7-skill level personnel of 80percent, which indicates the two skill levels are essentially performing thesame job.

Seven-skill level personnel (54 percent of the survey sample) perform anaverage of 349 tasks, with 157 tasks taking up over 50 percent of their rela-tive time. Sixty-seven percent of these 91 airmen report supervising one ormore individuals, but only 22 percent of their relative time is spent on tasksin the usual supervisory, managerial, training, and administrative duties.Compared to Active-duty Military 7-skill level personnel, where the percentsupervisin9 is 73 percent and relative time spent on supervisory duties is 38percent, these individuals are much more technically oriented.

ANG DAFSC Groups: There are 9 airmen with a 3-skill level, representing 3percent of the sample. This group does not reflect the same relative timespent pattern as the USAF Reserve 3-skill level does. They report performingan average of 221 tasks, with 50 percent of their time spent on 131 -.asks. Agood portion of their time (21 percent) is spent on the performance of Air-borne Identification Systems tasks, with another 38 percent spent on generalavionic, Instrument Landing, and Tactical Air Navigation Systems tasks. Only5 percent relative time spent was reported for the administrative and supply,and ATQT duties. With the exception of 1 percent relative time spent on com-munications equipment, the remaining time is spread over the other 10 systems.Time spent overlap for common tasks between this group and the 5-skill levelgroup is 72 percent, which indicates these two groups have a fairly similarjob.

Thirty-nine percent of this sample consists of 104 individuals making upthe 5-skill level group. They average 287 tasks and spend 50 percent of theirrelative time on 169 tasks. One major difference between this group and the3-skill level group is that these individuals spend less time (12 vs 21 per-cent) on the Airborne Identification Systems duty. A good portion of theirremaining time (37 percent) is spent doing tasks on the same three systemsthat the 3-skill level airmen work on: General Avionic, Tactical Air Naviga-tion, and ILS. This compares to the 38 percent for the 3-skill level person-nel. These respondents show a time spent overlap on common tasks with the7-skill level personnel of 77 percent, which indicates the two skill levelshave very similar jobs.

The 150 incumbents who hold a 7-skill level DAFSC represent 57 percent ofthe survey sample. They report averaging 314 tasks, with 207 tasks accountingfor 50 percent of their relative time. The survey data indicate that only 49percent of these airmen supervise another, to 67 percent of the USAF Reserve7-skill level personnel. Twenty-seven percent of their relative time is spenton administrative, supervisory, managerial, and training tasks as compared tothe 22 percent spent by USAF Reserve counterparts. Like them, these individ-uals are the technical experts in the field who continue to perform the day-to-day maintenance, with minimum supervisory responsibility.

Summary

Both USAF Reserve and ANG personnel at all skill levels for each of theAFSC are predominately technically oriented in their performance requirements.The 3-skill level personnel perform rather narrow jobs, with a great deal oftheir time spent on general avionic tasks. The 5-skill level airmen broadenout to include more of the maintenance of the major systems in their careerareas. The 7-skill level incumbents continue to perform technical AFSC-related tasks and spend a majority of their relative time on these tasks, butdo expand into the supervisory areas. This expansion is not, however, asgreat as the move in this direction found in the Active-duty Military popula-tion. This trend, however, does not imply job progression from the 3-skilllevel through the 5-skill level to the 7-skill level is any different thanthat of the Active-duty Military progression.

ANALYSIS OF AFR 39-1 SPECIALTY DESCRIPTIONS

Survey data were compared to the AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions for Com-munication and Navigation Systems Specialists and Technicians, both dated15 September 1988 and effective 31 October 1988. The description for the 3-and 5-skill levels is accurate in describing the overall jobs performed byboth USAF Reserve and ANG populations. The Communication and Navigation Sys-tems Technician, description also accurately reflcts, in general terms, thetechnical aspects of the 7-skill level job performed by both USAF Reserve andANG personnel.

TRAINING ANALYSIS

Occupational survey data are one of the many sources of information thatcan be used to assist in the development of a training program which meets therequirements of a specific career ladder. Normally the training requirementsof first enlistment (1 to 48 months TAFMS) personnel are the ones analyzed.

First-Enlistment Data

Factors which may be used in evaluating training include the overall des-cription of the job being performed by first-enlistment personnel, percentagesof first-enlistment members performing specific tasks or using certain testequipment, and the types of equipment that they work on.

Tables 21 and 22 provide data on relative time spent across the duties byfirst-enlistment personnel in both AFSC, broken down by component. Bothtables reflect that the relative time spent in the duties by Active-duty Mili-tary, USAF Reserve, and ANG airmen is very comparable. Although not

conclusive, this similarity indicates the systems where training for the threecomponents is most likely required. The tasks within the duties are moredefinitive as to the specific requirements that need to be met.

Tables 26 anu 24 show ccpresentative tasks perfoirmed by First-enlistmentpersonnel from each AFSC, with component percent members performing shown foreach task. These data reflect that the USAF Reserve and ANG personnel performthe tasks shown in relatively the same percentages as the Active-duty Mili-tary, which is another indication that first-enlistment personnel in all threecomponents perform similar jobs and have the same training requirements.

Test equipment used by more than 30 percent of first-enlistment personnelis listed in Tables 25 and 26. The data show that USAF Reserve and ANG per-sonnel use the same test equipment as their Active-duty Military counterparts.There is test equipment that less than 30 percent of the Active-duty Militarypersonnel use, but at least 30 percent of the personnel of the other compo-nents do use. This area should be reviewed by the respective proponents, todetermine if this data has any impact on the formal training requirements ofUSAF Reserve or ANG personnel.

Tables 27 and 28 show the systems equipment maintained by first-enlistment personnel. These data reflect the greatest variance among thethree categories of personnel, with the ANG airmen indicating they work onfewer types of systems equipment than the other two groups. USAF Reserve per-sonnel report working on more types of equipment in the Navigation Systemsarea than even the Active-duty Military personnel. This may indicate thatsome consideration should be given to providing extra training for USAFReserve personnel on the additional equipment.

Specialty Training Standards (STS) and Plan of Instruction (POI) Review

With information concerning the target population, first-enlistment per-sonnel, the training program documents, Specialty Training Standard (STS) andPlan of Instruction (POI), are examined in light of the survey data. Toassist specifically in the examination of the STS and the POI, technicalschool personnel from Keesler Technical Training Center matched job inventorytasks from each of the task inventories to the appropriate sections and sub-sections of the pertinent STS and POI. Avionic Communication and NavigationSystems, STSs 455X2A, 455X2B, and 455X2C, dated October 1988, were used inthis process. Avionic Communication and Navigation Systems, POIs E3ABR45532A-000, E3ABR45532A-O01, E3ABR45532B-000, and E3ABR45532C-O00, dated 20 May 1988,were also used in the match. It was this matching upon which comparison tothose documents was based. Each STS and POI match was compared to data of themajor command (MAC, SAC, or TAF) from the Communication and Navigation systemssurvey that pertained to it.

Survey data for the USAF Reserve and ANG groups support all elements ofthe three 455X2 STSs that were supported by the Active-duty Military data.Additionally, there are 17 elements in the three STS not supported by

Active-duty Military data which are supported when matched to USAF Reserve orANG data. The 17 elements are part of only two systems: Direction Findersand VHF AM/FM Radios. Each STS will be discussed below.

STS 455X2A (MAC). There are three elements, all part of subparagraph 13m, notsupported by Active-duty Military data, but supported by ANG MAC data in thisSTS. Table 29 provides information on these three elements.

STS 455X2B.(SAC). Table 30 shows the five elements in this STS, all part ofsubparagraph 13g, VHF AM/FM Radios, supported by the USAF Reserve and ANG SACdata. The data supports the retention of a 2b 3-level proficiency code, whichhad not been supported by the Active-duty Military data.

STS 455X2C (TAF). Table 31 reflects the two subparagraphs (13g and 131) withnine elements which are supported by USAF Reserve and ANG TAF data. The 2bskill proficiency codes in the four elements of subparagraph 13g are supportedthroughout, although the Active-duty Military data did not support them. Thefive elements of subparagraph 131 are not only supported for retention in theSTS but the data also indicate the USAF Reserve and ANG personnel might have arequirement for formal training.

POI 45532. Six of the eight blocks of the POI not supported by Active-dutyMilitary data are supported by data from the USAF Reserve and ANG samples.Table 32 provides information on those blocks supported.

Training Analysis Summary

The 455X2 STSs provide an accurate assessment of both the USAF Reserveand ANG personnel specialty training requirements and are supported by thesurvey data for those groups. The USAF Reserve and ANG sample data actuallysupport more STS elements than the data from the Active-duty Military samples.The same is true for the 45532 POI. There appear to be few major differencesbetween the training needs of the USAF Reserve, ANG, Active-duty Military per-sonnel. Data concerning test equipment used, the additional elements sup-ported in the STSs, and additional blocks supported in the POI do, however,indicate that the training needs of Air Force Reserve Component first enlist-ment personnel should be examined for possible additional or tailored trainingrequirements.

JOB SATISFACTION ANALYSIS

Examination of the job satisfaction indicators gives career ladder manag-ers a better understanding of some of the factors which may impact on job per-formance of airmen in the career ladder. Attitude questions covering jobinterest, perceived utilization of talents and training, sense of accomplish-ment from work and reenlistment intentions were included in the survey book-let. The information from these questions is provided in Table 33 for

Communications (AFSC 328X0) personnel and Table 34 for Navigation Systems(AFSC 328X1) personnel. The Active-duty Military data are provided to allow acomparison among the different components.

USAF Reserve and ANG personnel in both AFSCs 328X0 and 328X1 tend to havemuch higher overall job satisfaction than their Active-duty Military counter-parts. Data concerning full-time technicians and part-time traditional per-sonnel is also displayed to give managers information as to how they compare.Overall, there does not appear to be major differences in job satisfactionbetween the technicians and the traditional personnel for USAF Reserve or ANGgroups in either AFSC.

ADDITIONAL ISSUES

ANG Bureau personnel requested data be collected on four areas. One wason reenlistment intentions of ANG airmen. Another was on the incentivesreceived to reenlist or remain in the ANG. A third was to deterr'ine if anincentive was received, would the individual have enlisted or reenlisted with-out the incentive. Finally they wanted to know what reason those choosing notto reenlist had for their decision. Reenlistment intention data were col-lected through a standard background question on the job inventory. Questionsfor the other areas were developed and placed in a special section of the jobinventory background section to be answered by ANG personnel only. Data gath-ered on the additiunal iqterest items are displayed in Tables 33 through 41.

Tables 33 and 34, dealing with job satisfaction, provide reenlistmentintent data based on personnel categories. All categories of personnel reportcomparatively high reenlistment intentions, with the full-time Air Reserve andANG technicians higher than the Traditional Guardsmen. A different perspec-tive is provided in Table 34, where a Total Active Federal Military Service(TAFMS) breakout for each AFSC is shown. A high percentage of airmen in eachgroup indicate a predilection toward probable reenlistment.

The second area of interest was information concerning the types ofenlistment or reenlistment incentives Air National Guardsmen received. Of the189 Communications personnel in the ANG sample, 44 indicated they had receivedan incentive. Table 36 shows the data on the types of incentives these indi-viduals received. Data for personnel categories and TAFMS are provided in thetable. The same type of information is shown for the 64 out of 266 NavigationSystems personnel in Table 37. Enlistment and reenlistment bonuses appear tobe the incentives most people receive, with student loan repayment notreceived as often. Receiving more than one incentive seems to be the excep-tion rather than the rule.

The next type of information desired was to determine if individuals whohad received an incentive would have enlisted or reenlisted if they had notreceived the incentive. Table 38 shows the breakout of the data from 54 Com-munications personnel who indicated whether they would or would not enlist orreenlist without an incentive. Table 39 provides these data for the 76

Navigation Systems personnel selecting one of these two answers. The majorityof the personnel in both AFSCs indicate they would have enlisted or reenlistedwithout an incentive. The groups least likely to want to reenlist without anincentive are the second-enlistment personnel and Traditional Guardsmen.

The fourth area of interest is the main reason individuals do not reen-list in the ANG. Forty-three Communications personnel and 52 Navigation Sys-tems personnel indicated the reason they do not plan to reenlist. Table 40shows the Communications data and Table 41 has the Navigation Systems data.The civilian job considerations appears to be the most popular reason not toreenlist. The next most used category reason is "other." Unfortunately, therespondents did not elaborate on their meaning.

IMPLICATIONS

USAF Reserve and ANG personnel were included in this survey to determinesimilarities with each other ard between them and their Active-duty Militarycounterparts. The data support the proposition that they are very similar toeach other and do have some of the same jobs as Active-duty Military person-nel. The survey data for the USAF Reserve and the ANG support the trainingdocuments used for AFSC 455X2. It appears that USAF Reserve and ANG subject-matter experts should have input to any changes made to the AFSC 455X2 train-ing documents. Surveying USAF Reserve and ANG personnel is feasible andshould be considered for those AFSCs where these components have comparativelylarge training requirements. Job Inventories were completed in a mannercomparable to that of Active-duty Military personnel. Data provided could beanalyzed in the same manner as Active-duty Military data. Survey administra-tion for USAF Reserve and ANG survs should go through units to provide thecontrol necessary to assure a good percentage of the job inventories arereturned and that they are useable,
