Which document is used to determine AFSC-specific requirements for enlisted or officer?

• A. AFECD or AFOCD
• B. SPECAT
• C. AF Form 422
• D. DoDM 5210.42 Appendix 4

Answer: (A)

AFSC requirements for enlisted and officer roles are defined in the Air Force Classification Directories: the Enlisted Classification Directory (AFECD) for enlisted personnel and the Officer Classification Directory (AFOCD) for officers. These references lay out each AFSC, including its duties, the prerequisites, required skill levels, and the training paths needed to qualify and progress. They’re the authoritative source used to determine what is required for a given AFSC, ensuring assignments and qualifications line up with official criteria.

Other options don’t serve this purpose. SPECAT is a catalog of specialties but does not prescribe the qualification prerequisites for each AFSC. AF Form 422 is a medical qualification form, not a catalog of AFSC requirements. DoDM 5210.42 Appendix 4 is a DoD directive/appendix not used to determine AFSC-specific requirements.
