This instruction implements AFPD 36-12, Dispute Resolution. The instruction outlines USAFE policy on
the adjudication of non-US citizen employee grievances and appeals, and establishes procedures for their
processing through internal USAFE channels. The instruction applies to all appropriated and nonappro-
priated fund employees of the US Forces administered by a US Air Force Civilian Personnel Flight (CPF)
in Germany under the terms of the Collective Tariff Agreement (CTA II), or individual employment
agreements related thereto; in Turkey, provided they are neither members of nor solidarity dues payers to
the signatory union of the Collective Labor Agreement (CLA), and therefore, exempt from the scope of
the latter. “For Air Force users: Maintain and dispose of records created by prescribed processes in accor-
dance with Air force Manual (AFMAN) 37-139. Records Disposition Schedule (will become AFMAN
33-322, Volume 4).”
