This instruction implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 36-38, Personnel Readiness
Reporting and Accountability and is consistent with AFPD 10-2, Readiness and supports AFPD
36-29, Military Personnel Standards, AFPD 36-26, Military Force Management, and AFPD 34-
1, Air Force Services. This publication applies to Department of the Air Force civilian employees
and uniformed members of the United States Space Force, the Regular Air Force, the Air Force
Reserve, the Air National Guard and the Civil Air Patrol when conducting missions as the official
Air Force Auxiliary. This instruction applies to the United States Space Force (USSF) unless and
until such time as separate service guidance is published. In this event, USSF guidance shall
prevail in application to the USSF. Note: All references to United States Air Force (USAF)
terminology, units, grades, and positions will also apply to the equivalent in the USSF, as
appropriate. For example, references to Airmen will also apply to Guardians. References to major
commands (MAJCOMs) or numbered Air Forces will also apply to field commands. References
to wings will also apply to deltas/garrisons. Air Staff roles and responsibilities (e.g., (AF/A1),
etc.) may also apply to the equivalent Office of the Chief of Space Operations (Space Staff)
