This instruction implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 10-2, Readiness. It provides
guidance and procedures for exercise oversight, management, prioritization, participation,
resourcing and execution. Furthermore, it provides guidance and procedures for Air Force
participation in Service, Joint Service, and Combatant Commander (CCDR) Exercises, to include
those under the Combatant Commanders Exercise Engagement Training Transformation (CE2T2)
Program. It establishes the Exercise Coordination Working Group (ECWG) as the lead entity
responsible for collating, coordinating, adjudicating and prioritizing Secretary of the Air Force
(SecAF) force participation in Service and joint exercises and maintaining visibility on exercise
participation of Combatant Command (CCMD) assigned forces. This publication applies to Air
Force (AF) organizations at all Echelons, Major Commands (MAJCOM), Component MAJCOMs
(C-MAJCOM), Numbered Air Force (NAF), Component Numbered Air Force (C-NAF) and Air
Force Reserve Command (AFRC). This publication applies Air National Guard (ANG) forces
under training and readiness oversight delegated to the SecAF. If this publication conflicts with
Department of Defense (DoD) or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) guidance and
policy, then the DoD and/or CJCS guidance and policy will take precedence. The authorities to
waive wing/unit level requirements in this publication are identified with a Tier (“T-0, T-1, T-2,
