AFI 10-420 — Combat Air Forces Aviation Scheduling

What this publication covers

What changed in this edition

This document is substantially revised and must be completely reviewed. Chapter 1 introduces the CAF Force Generation (CAFFORGEN) Model as the principal means of implementing Global Force Management (GFM) as it relates to CAF contingency scheduling. Chapter 3 includes an extensive rewrite of the Air Force orders process which mimics that of the Global Force Management Allocation Plan (GFMAP). Chapter 4 provides an updated discussion of the contingency scheduling process and includes new sections on CAF mobilization and pre-deployment training requirements. Minor changes have been made to Chapter 5 to account for a change from a four month training build to a six month training build. Chapter 6 includes time-lines for completion of Aviation Change Requests (ACRs) and for submission of MAJCOM Aviation Schedule (CPS) requirements. Attachment 5 has been added to explain the automated tool suite maintained on the ACC Operations Center Website

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.
