Transforming The Munitions And Missile Maintenance Officer Career Field

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1031573 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The current construct of Air Force Specialty Code 21M, Munitions and Missile Maintenance Officer was a direct result of both the unauthorized transportation of nuclear warheads and the mistaken shipments of classified ICBM components. This construct, represented by three distinct paths within the 21M career field include conventional munitions, nuclear weapons and ICBMs. Even though this approach was developed to strengthen specialization within the 21M career field, it has failed to address the basic fundamental problems discovered and identified from the aforementioned incidents.
