What is AF Form 422?

• A. A summary of deployment history
• B. Describes what an Airman is qualified to do based on medical assessment, requirements in the Air Force Officer Classification Directory and Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory, and other similar guidelines; tells commanders what a member CAN do
• C. A record of flight hours
• D. A form to request leave

Answer: (B)

AF Form 422 documents a member's medical qualification for duty. It records a medical assessment and, referencing the Air Force Officer Classification Directory and Air Force Enlisted Classification Directory, states what duties the Airman is medically qualified to perform and any limitations. Commanders use it to determine what tasks a member CAN do and to ensure safe assignment and mission readiness, especially for aviation roles. It is not a deployment history summary, not a record of flight hours, and not a form for requesting leave.
