Who performs the initial qualification for a service member to be placed on PRP status (Regular Air Force/Active Duty)?

• A. Medical Review Board
• B. Wing Safety Office
• C. Administrative Qualification Cell (AQC) at AFPC
• D. Unit Commander

Answer: (C)

Understanding PRP qualification means recognizing where the official eligibility decision happens. The initial qualification for PRP placement is performed by the Administrative Qualification Cell (AQC) at AFPC. They review the member’s security clearance status, background information, medical eligibility, and other reliability factors to determine if the individual can be placed on PRP. The Medical Review Board assesses medical conditions that could affect PRP eligibility, the Wing Safety Office handles safety and risk-related concerns, and the unit commander oversees unit-level PRP duties after qualification. The centralized, formal determination comes from the Administrative Qualification Cell at AFPC.
