Which individuals does the NCO retraining program specifically aim to assist?

The NCO retraining program specifically aims to assist second term and career airmen. This program is designed to manage the force structure and ensure that personnel are retained in accordance with the needs of the Air Force. Second term and career airmen are individuals who have already completed their initial service commitment and may be looking to continue their careers or transition within the Air Force. The program helps these individuals by providing options and resources to navigate potential retraining opportunities, ultimately benefiting both the airmen involved and the service as a whole.

Other groups such as new recruits, volunteers for deployment, and members needing disciplinary action do not fall under the specific purview of the NCO retraining program. New recruits are entering the service and are not eligible for retraining, while volunteers for deployment already have existing roles and responsibilities. Members needing disciplinary action are typically managed through different processes focused on conduct rather than on career progression or retraining options.
