Training for UTC (Unit Type Code) Management at Base Level in MAC (Military Airlift Command)

摘要

The purpose of this study was to investigate current training for Military Airlift Command base level Unit Type Code managers and to determine if a handbook would be beneficial to those people. An informal questionnaire was used to collect data from base level UTC managers. Analysis of the data yielded the following conclusions-- UTC managers lack experience; Base level UTC managers perceive that they have not been adequately trained; There is no consistent training within the UTC Management field; UTC procedure and package standardization has not been achieved; A base level UTC Manager's Handbook would help correct the perceived training deficiencies and lead to standard UTC procedures and packages. The cumulative thesis research and the preceding conclusions lead to these recommendations-- Survey the remaining Air Force commands to determine if the handbook would benefit their UTC managers; Publish an Air Force standard handbook for UTC managers and include only necessary command unique items in appendices; Assign responsibility to a single focal point to determine core and specialty training areas required for a comprehensive UTC managers training program; and Investigate other training alternatives for UTC managers.
