Preface
1. IAW AFPD 16-12, Pararescue and AFPD 10-35, Battlefield Airmen, 1TX21 is a Battlefield Airmen career field that
operates as a component of the Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) force or part of Air Force Special Operations
Command Special Tactics Teams (STS) to provide Joint Force Commanders the capability to recover combat aircrews
and other isolated personnel. They also provide survival and evasion assistance, emergency and field trauma care, and
security. Pararescue forces are capable of moving objectives (personnel and materiel) to safety or friendly control when
direct recovery by aircraft is not possible. This Pararescue Specialty (PJ) Career Field Education and Training Plan
(CFETP) is a comprehensive core training document that identifies life-cycle training/education requirements, support
resources, and minimum core task requirements for the 1T2X1 specialty. The plan is a "training road map" for the career
field. It provides personnel a clear career path to success and makes career field training identifiable, measurable, and
budget defensible. Ensure that all records created as a result of processes prescribed in this publication are maintained in
accordance with AFMAN 37-123 (will convert to AFMAN 33-363), Management of Records, and disposed of in
accordance with the Air Force Records Disposition Schedule (RDS) located at https://
2. The CFETP consists of two parts. Supervisors use both parts of the plan in order to plan, manage, and control training
within the career field.
2.1. Part I provides information necessary for overall management of the specialty. Section A explains how everyone
will use the plan. Section B identifies career field progression information, duties and responsibilities, training strategies, and career field path. Section C associates each level with specialty qualifications (knowledge, education, training, and other). Section D indicates resource constraints (e.g., funds, manpower, equipment, and facilities). Section E identifies transition training guide requirements for staff sergeant through master sergeant.
2.2. Part II includes the following: Section A identifies the specialty training standard (STS) and includes duties, tasks,
and technical references to support training. Air Education and Training Command (AETC) conducted training, wartime
course (NOTE: Pararescue pipeline pre-requisite training and Pararescue Apprentice Course do not change for wartime),
and core task and correspondence course requirements. Section B contains the course objective list and training standards
supervisors will use to determine if airmen satisfy training requirements. Section C identifies available support materials.
Examples are: qualification training packages (QTP), which may be developed to support proficiency training; task,
conditions, and standards (TCS) identify criterion objectives; and syllabi of instruction (SOI) to standardize on-the-job
training (OJT) across the force. Section D identifies a training course index supervisors can use to determine resources
available to support training. Both mandatory and optional courses are listed. Section E identifies MAJCOM-unique
training requirements supervisors can use to determine additional training required for the associated qualification needs.
3. Using guidance provided in the CFETP will ensure individuals in this specialty receive effective and efficient training
at the appropriate points in their career. This plan enables the career field to train today’s work force for tomorrow’s jobs.
At unit level, supervisors and trainers use Part II to identify, plan, and conduct training commensurate with the overall
goals of this plan.
