Who is responsible for ensuring Airman Comprehensive Assessments (ACA's) are conducted properly?

The responsibility for ensuring that Airman Comprehensive Assessments (ACAs) are conducted properly lies with unit commanders. This role encompasses overseeing the performance and development of Airmen within the unit, making sure that assessments are carried out in accordance with established guidelines and policies. Unit commanders play a critical leadership role, which includes the accountability for fostering an environment that emphasizes personal and professional development for their personnel.

Their position allows them to enforce compliance with the assessment process and ensure that feedback is given effectively. While other roles, such as flight supervisors and senior non-commissioned officers, may also have a part in the assessment process—such as conducting assessments or providing input—unit commanders hold the ultimate responsibility for the execution and quality of the ACA program within their unit.
