Defensive Fire Control Systems Career Ladder AFSC 321X1E/G

摘要

This occupational survey report addresses the Defensive Fire Control Systems career ladder (AFSC 321X1E/G). HQ ATC/TTQL requested this study due to a realignment of maintenance procedures and the introduction of updated equipment since the last OSR. The purposes of this study are to validate and update specialty training standards and validate supporting training programs. The career ladder is divided into two shredouts, E and G. Shedout E personnel are assigned to B-52H units with ASG-21 Defensive Fire Control Systems (DFCS), and shedout G personnel to B-52G units with ASG-15 DFC systems. Both shredouts have undergone several changes over the years, reflecting turret and fire control systems modifications and title or AFSC changes. Throughout all of these changes, the basic tasks of each shredout have remained approximately the same: inspecting, operating, troubleshooting, repairing, overhauling, and modifying aircraft Defense Fire Control Systems and related equipment.
