This document has been revised and should be completely reviewed. Major changes include adding Space Force-equivalent language where appropriate, Air Force Force Generation training guidance, removed references to SEI 312, and organization updates throughout
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.
