Does the DAFSC for enlisted personnel have to match the CAFSC while on TDY outside the CAFSC?

The correct response states that the DAFSC for enlisted personnel must match the CAFSC even when on Temporary Duty (TDY) outside the CAFSC. This requirement is in place to ensure that personnel are properly qualified and trained for the specific tasks they are assigned, regardless of location. Matching the DAFSC (Duty Air Force Specialty Code) with the CAFSC (Control Air Force Specialty Code) ensures consistency in the qualifications and specialties recognized by the Air Force, maintaining operational readiness and compliance with regulations.

This practice helps in organizing and assigning personnel effectively, as all enlisted members have specific roles based on their training and certifications. When personnel are deployed or sent on TDY assignments, it is important that their DAFSC reflects their training background to ensure they can perform their duties effectively without requiring additional, immediate training or oversight. This standardization reinforces the capability of the Air Force to mobilize and utilize its trained personnel efficiently in various operational contexts.
