Who this publication applies to

For the purpose of this instruction, the term mobilization applies to members involuntarily activated under the mobilization statutes referenced in this instruction. Specific Major Commands are designated to oversee all mobilization requests within a specified operational area of responsibility. The five mobiliza tion facilitators are: Air Combat Command for conventional operations; Air Force Global Strike Command for nuclear operations; Air Force Special Operations Command for special operations; Air Force Space Command for cyber and space operations; and Air Mob ility Command for mobility operations.

What changed in this edition

This document has been substantially revised and must be completely reviewed. Department of Defense Instruction 1235.12 was revised (to include incorporating content from the cancelled Department of Defense Doctrine 1235.10) and published. Major changes to this instruction include roles and responsibilities, the additional statute Title 10 United States Code sections, implementation of Air Force Instruction 33-360, and a refined focus on specifically the mobilization process. This update no longer includes a chapter on Pretrained Individual Manpower programs. Air Force Instruction 36-2633, The Air Force Reserve Pretrained Individual Manpower Programs – Management and Utilization (on Pretrained Individual Manpower and PUSH/PULL), and Air Force Instruction 36-2254, Volume 1, Reserve Personnel Participation (on screening Ready Reserve) set Pretrained Individual Manpower policy. Components of the Pretrained Individual Manpower (Individual Ready Reserve and retirees) continue to be incorporated into this instruction. Guidance on activation is also available in Air Force Instruction 36-2619, Military Personnel Appropriation Manday Program. The sourcing term force provider has been removed from this instruction. The mobilization-specific term mobilization fa cilitator is defined and used in this revision of the instruction

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
