The Air Force plans to reduce non-primary mission training (training which is not related to Airmen's primary jobs) in order to address concerns that excessive and non-mission related demands are impacting Airmen's ability to focus on and accomplish their core duties. Out of the 42 ancillary training courses, the Air Force will eliminate 15 stand-alone training courses and streamline 16 courses to reduce associated training time. Changes will be implemented between January and April 2017; however, Airmen are no longer required to complete the courses set for elimination. The Advanced Distributed Learning Service will be updated no later than April 1, 2017. For more information, read the official memorandum.
