The report describes an occupational survey of the Missile Electronic Equipment Specialist career ladder, AFSCs 316X2 F/G/H/Q/T and 31790, conducted by the Occupational Survey Branch, USAF Occupational Measurement Center, from January 1974 through August 1974. The report describes the development of the survey instrument, its administration to job incumbents, and resulting summaries of tasks performed by airmen grouped by skill level, experience level, and similarity of tasks performed. Results are compared to current training and career field structure documents and recommendations for further study are presented.
During the period 8 August 1977 through 24 January 1978, the job inventory was administered to incumbents involved with the Minuteman Missile Electronic Maintenance career ladders. (1) Career Ladder Structure. Eighty-eight percent of the survey respondents grouped into eight functional areas. These areas were defined by specialty, weapon system, missile system, missile wing, and experience level combinations. (2) DAFSC and Specialty Group Analysis. Generally, 5-skill level respondents perform technical tasks, while 7-skill level personnel perform a combination of technical and supervisory tasks. Respondents in each specialty reported performing specialty-specific tasks not commonly performed by personnel in the other specialties surveyed. (3) Data Comparisons With AFR 39-1. The AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions for specialties 316X0 and 316X2 covered all major functions performed by Minuteman respondents in specialties 316X0G, 316X2G, and 316X2H. Weapon System designations for the 'G' and the 'H' suffixes relating to the 316X0 and the 316X2 specialty descriptions appear to need review. (4) Comparison of Present With Previous Surveys. Both surveys of the 316X0G specialty identified similar career ladder structures and related data results. The present survey more specifically and comprehensively defines the jobs performed by 316X2G and 316X2H incumbents.
This is a report of an occupational survey of the Missile Electronic Equipment career ladder (AFSCs 31632G, 31652G, and 31672G) completed by the Occupational Analysis Division, USAF Occupational Measurement Center. Because the last occupational survey report (published June 1978) combined AFSC 316XOG (Missile System Analyst) and AFSC 316X2G/H (Missile Electronic Equipment) responsibilities, the current survey was requested by the Chief, Missile Maintenance/Electronics Branch at Chanute Technical Training Center to focus more specifically on tasks currently being performed by AFSC 316X2G personnel. This information will be used to assist in future technical course revisions. In addition, this report will provide information concerning personnel utilization, job structure, and impact on classification.
This report summarized the results of the administration of the Electronic Principles Inventory to airmen assigned as Missile Electronic Equipment Specialists (AFSC 31652F/G/H/T). The report gives a detailed listing of the technical tasks and knowledge needed to perform the jobs within the specialty or career ladder. This specialty has the following function: Performs maintenance missile electrical systems, on electronic test, launch control, checkout, and related ground support equipment used by missile activities; and connects and operates test and checkout equipment used in isolation of malfunctions.
