BIOENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING SPECIALTY AFSC 4B0X1 CAREER FIELD EDUCATION AND TRAINING PLAN PART I Preface 1. This Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) was developed to address a career field which has grown in scope and complexity. It is designed to sustain the career field through improved education and training; it is a comprehensive core education and training document that identifies life-cycle education and training requirements, training support resources, and minimum core tasks for this specialty. The CFETP provides personnel with a defined career path and instills rigor in all aspects of career field training. NOTE: Civilians occupying Bioenvironmental Engineering positions will use Part 2 to support duty position qualification training. 2. The CFETP consists of two parts; supervisors use both parts to plan, manage, and control 4B0X1 training. 2.1. Part I provides information necessary for overall specialty management. Section A explains how everyone will use this plan. Section B identifies career field progression information, duties and responsibilities, training strategies, and defines the career field path. Section C associates each skill level with specialty qualifications (knowledge, education, training, experience, and other). Section D indicates resource constraints. Section E identifies transitional training for SSgt through MSgt (reserved). 2.2. Part II provides a comprehensive list of training courses and standards available to support career field training requirements. There are six sections to Part II: Specialty Training Standard (STS), Course Objective List, OJT Support Material, Training Course Index, MAJCOM unique requirements, and Competency Assessment Folder maintenance. Section A contains the most current version of the STS. This revised STS identifies 3-, 5-, and 7-skill level training requirements and indicates those tasks determined to be core tasks. The STS also includes duties, tasks, technical references, USAF School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM)-conducted training, Readiness Skills Verification (RSV) curriculum, wartime emergency surge training curriculum, and correspondence course requirements. Section B contains the Course Objective List. Supervisors use this list to determine the scope of training Airmen receive from these courses. Section C identifies available OJT support materials, e.g. Qualification Training Packages (QTPs) which are developed to support proficiency training. Section D contains the Training Course Index, listing mandatory courses, field training, and Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) courses used to support training within the 4B career field. Supervisors use this index to determine resources available to support training. Included here are both mandatory and optional courses. Section E identifies MAJCOM-unique training requirements, if any. Section F is specific to medical AFSCs. It describes the master training plan and training documentation. At unit level, supervisors and trainers will use Part II to identify, plan, and conduct training commensurate with the overall goals of this CFETP. 3. The guidance provided in this CFETP will ensure individuals in the BEE career field receive effective and efficient training at the appropriate points in their career. This plan will enable you to train today's work force for tomorrow's challenges. 4

These tasks are only for those career fields that still need them applied to their schoolhouse tasks. For the 4B0X1 AFSC, these tasks are aligned with RSVP.
PART I, Section A - General Information 1. Purpose. This CFETP provides information necessary for the Bioenvironmental Engineering (BE) career field manager, BE MAJCOM Functional Managers (MFMs), commanders, training managers, supervisors, trainers and the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM) to plan, develop, manage, and conduct an effective and efficient career field training program. This plan outlines the training that individuals in the 4B0X1 AFS will receive to develop and progress in the 4B career field. This plan identifies initial skills, upgrade, qualification, advanced and proficiency/continuation training: 1.1 Initial skills training, conducted at USAFSAM, is the AFS-specific training an individual receives upon entry into the 4B career field. Course graduates are awarded the 3-skill level. 1.2 Upgrade training identifies the mandatory courses, task qualification requirements, correspondence course completion, and minimum experience required to award the 5-, 7-, and 9-skill levels. 1.3 Qualification/job proficiency training (along with job experience) is actual hands-on task performance training designed to qualify an airman in a specific duty position. This training program occurs both during and after the upgrade training process. It is designed to provide the performance skills and knowledge training required to do the job. 1.4 Advanced Training is formal specialty training provided to select Airmen. 1.5 Proficiency/continuation training is additional training, either with in-residence training courses or exportable advanced training courses, or on-the-job training provided to personnel to increase their skills and knowledge beyond the minimum required for upgrade. 2. Uses. The plan will be used by BE MFMs, superintendents, and supervisors of all 4B Airmen at all levels to ensure comprehensive and cohesive training programs are available for each individual in the specialty. 2.1 USAFSAM training personnel develop and revise formal resident, nonresident, field and exportable training based on requirements established during U&amp;TWs and documented in Part II of this CFETP. They also work with the BE CFM to develop acquisition strategies to obtain resources needed to provide the identified training. 2.2 BE MFMs will ensure their training programs complement the CFETP mandatory initial, upgrade, and proficiency requirements. OJT, resident training, contract training, or exportable courses can satisfy identified requirements. MAJCOM-developed training to support this AFSC must be identified for inclusion in this plan and must not duplicate available training resources. 2.3 Each individual will complete mandatory training requirements specified in this plan. The lists of courses in Part II will be used as a reference to support training. 3. Coordination and Approval. The 4B0X1 AFCFM is the approval authority for this CFETP and will initiate an annual review of this document to ensure currency and accuracy. MAJCOM representatives and USAFSAM training personnel will identify and coordinate on the career field training requirements. Using the list of courses in Part II, they will eliminate duplicate training.
PART I, Section B - Career Progression and Information
4. Specialty Description. 4.1. Specialty Summary. Performs and manages occupational and environmental health (OEH)-related activities to support delivery of Air Force Medical Service (AFMS) and BE capabilities. Related DoD Occupational Subgroup: 132200. 4.2. Duties and Responsibilities. Ensures delivery of BE capabilities at the tactical level as outlined below: 4.2.1. Execute SG related vulnerability assessment. Coordinate with members of Force Protection Working Group (FPWG) to identify critical infrastructure and operational components of base/location. In conjunction with the Threat Working Group (TWG), use existing sources of information (intelligence, previous vulnerability studies, EPA reports, etc.) to identify potential threats to critical nodes. Assess overall vulnerability to critical nodes given threats, probability or occurrence, and consequence of effects. Provide recommendations through FPWG to reduce overall vulnerability/risk to mission. 4.2.2. Identify / Approve potable and non-potable water sources. Analyze surface, ground and/or local supplier sources to determine drinking water quality and health risks associated with non-potable water quality for garrison/deployed operations. Recommend feasible solutions to address health concerns to facilitate approval of use. Scope of analysis is determined by immediacy of need, duration of need and population demographics. 4.2.3. Execute Occupational &amp; Environmental Health Site Assessment (OEHSA). The key operational health tool for producing data or information used for health risk assessments (HRA) and to satisfy OEH surveillance requirements. OEHSAs focus on collecting sitespecific data to identify potential or actual exposure pathways during bed down, employ, and sustainment of air and space forces. OEHSAs are also the mechanism for providing OEH inputs to the development of base support and expeditionary site plans and each service member's longitudinal exposure record (LER). Sub-capability: Identify potential operating locations. Coordinate with Plans communities and retrieved intelligence to address OEH threats associated with potential garrison/deployed operating locations. This capability is most appropriately executed during the planning phase, but if necessary can be executed at any time. 4.2.4. Conduct predictive exposure assessments. Use data, intelligence products and modeling information collected in garrison as a baseline for predicting potential OEH exposures across the range of military challenges and operations. 4.2.5. Respond to OEH health threats. Effectively/efficiently respond to both deliberate and crisis events which may result in actual/potential exposure to OEH health threats. Document information regarding actual/potential exposure from OEH incidents as part of the LER 4.2.6. Identify OEH health hazards. Effectively/efficiently anticipate and recognize actual/potential chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and physical (OEH) health threats. Sub-capability: Link weapons effects w/ health risk to potentially exposed personnel. Work with Emergency Management personnel, EOD, and other base personnel to identify OEH hazards associated with different weapons effects. Working through TWG, identify probable weapons and assist with planning phases for posturing efforts, incorporating potential health risk as a result of attack due to residual effects of weapons (OEH hazards versus direct blast 9
effects) . Proficiency in this capability will allow easy translation from defensive to offensive operations if asked to address collateral damage input in an air tasking order. 4.2.7. Analyze OEH health hazards. Effectively/efficiently evaluate actual/potential chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and physical (OEH) health threats. Sub-capability: Manage samples. Collecting, handling, preserving, packaging, shipping or transporting/escorting samples associated with deliberate and crisis responses at garrison/deployed locations. Sub-capability: Conduct exposure investigations. Evaluates post exposure investigations through interviews, re-creation, modeling, post-exposure medical exams and knowledge of processes of AF work centers, implemented controls implemented and resultant health affects to document human health threats. Uses results to reduce risks in future operations and other similar and concurrent operations through recommendations to commanders. Documents known operational impacts (maximizing positive impacts and minimizing negative impacts). 4.2.8. Control OEH health hazards. Provide control recommendations and advocate for their installation/use to eliminate/mitigate actual/potential chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and physical (OEH) health threat. Sub-capability: Provide protective postures in C-CBRNE operations. Using information from gathered intelligence, vulnerability assessments, OEHSAs and incident-specific data, provide relevant threat control recommendations to the commander with respect to real-time and future operations. Apply the OEH hazard control hierarchy, using engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment as the operations dictate. Sub-capability: Assist with shelter management. Determine adequacy of collective protection for controlling OEH health threats, as requested. Perform health risk assessment to determine ability to release personnel from collectively protected facilities. 4.2.9. Associate exposure with affected personnel. Document information regarding identification, evaluation and control of actual/potential OEH health hazards as part of the LER. Tie completed or potentially completed exposure pathways to individuals using spatial and temporal reference marks. 4.2.10. Assist with health risk management. Advise decision makers in a decision-making process to evaluate and select courses of action (COAs), minimize OEH risks, and maximize benefits for operations and missions. This is the health component of the ORM process and HRM recommendations and decisions are integrated into the commander's ORM decisionmaking. Sub-capability: Communicate OEH risk-based information &amp; recommend COAs. Effectively communicate potential health effects, outcomes, and control measures. Provide information consistent with the HRA. Use knowledge of processes of AF work. 5. Skill/Career Progression. Adequate training and timely progression from the apprentice to the superintendent skill level play an important role in the Air Force's ability to accomplish its mission. It is essential that everyone involved in training do his/her part to plan, manage, and conduct an effective training program. The guidance provided in this part of the CFETP will ensure each individual receives viable training at appropriate points in their career. 5.1 Apprentice (3-Skill) Level. Initial skills training in this specialty consists of the tasks and knowledge training provided in the Bioenvironmental Engineering Apprentice (BEA) located at USAFSAM. Individuals must complete this initial skills course to be awarded 10
AFSC 4B031. The 4B0X1 Airman's immediate supervisor will manage the member's 5-skill level upgrade training curriculum to include Career Development Course (CDC) enrollment and fulfillment of OJT requirements. 5.2 Journeyman level (5). Upgrade training to the 5-skill level in this specialty starts immediately after assignment to the duty position as an apprentice (3-level). Airmen must complete a minimum of 12 months of OJT (9 months for those in retraining status). Upgrade training consists of task and knowledge training provided in career development course (CDC) 4B051 and the 5-skill level core task requirements identified in the STS. During this period the individual will also be receiving job proficiency training for their specific duty position. After receiving their 5-level, SrA are eligible for most of the advanced and continuation training courses that Bioenvironmental Engineering enlisted personnel can attend that are offered at USAFSAM. The Bioenvironmental Engineering Site Assessment (BESA) Course, Parts 1 (via ADL) and 2 (via in-residence) is offered to SrA (and above) 4B051s who have reenlisted. Six-year first-term Airmen are eligible if they are between 36 and 60 months of their enlistment. Most 4B051s will attend Airman Leadership School (ALS) (for specifics, see AFI 36-2301, Professional Military Education). Following completion of ALS, 5-skill levels will be considered for appointment as supervisors, and rank permitting, as element-level NCOIC. 4B051s should strive to complete Associate Degree in Bioenvironmental Engineering Technology requirements for award of their Community College of the Air Force Degree. 5.3 Craftsman level (7). Individuals must be Staff Sergeant (SSgt) selectees and are entered into UGT on the first day of the promotion cycle. They must complete: a minimum 12 months of OJT (6 months for those in retraining status); the 7-level core task requirements identified in the STS; BESA, Parts 1 and 2; and the BEE Craftsman Course in-residence. A 4B071 can expect to fill various supervisory and management positions such as NCOIC of a flight or element. They may also be assigned to special duty positions. Also, they can expect career broadening experiences beyond the 4B career field, e.g. first sergeant, recruiter, PME instructor, etc. Increasing 4B management experience, deployment service, and additional duty at squadron level are strongly recommended for senior NCO promotion. Prior to promotion to Master Sergeant (MSgt), craftsmen will be selected to attend the USAF NCO Academy. Continued education leading to award of a BE-related bachelor's degree is highly encouraged. 5.4 Superintendent level (9). AFSC 4B091 will be awarded upon promotion to SMSgt, and after satisfying the requirements of AFI 36-2101, Classifying Military Personnel (Officer and Enlisted). A 4B091 can be expected to fill positions such as Superintendent, Bioenvironmental Engineering Flight and may include additional duty as a squadron superintendent. Additional training in the areas of resource management, to include budget, manpower, and personnel management, should be pursued through continuing education. Higher education, greater responsibility within the medical treatment facility and in the host unit, base, or community, plus deployment experience are expectations of senior NCOs. 6. Training Decisions. The CFETP uses a building block approach (simple to complex) to encompass the entire spectrum of training requirements for the Bioenvironmental Engineering career field. The spectrum includes a strategy for when, where, and how to meet the training requirements. The strategy must be apparent and affordable to reduce duplication of training and eliminate a disjointed approach to training. Initial skills and upgrade training requirements were reviewed, updated, and expanded during the 4B0X1 Utilization and Training Workshop (U&amp;TW) held 20-24 August 2007 at USAFSAM. The decision to train specific tasks and knowledge items in the initial skills course is based on occupational survey report (OSR) data (2006), training requirements analysis (TRA) data, and input from 4B0X1 subject matter 11
experts (SME). Task and knowledge training requirements are identified in the Specialty Training Standard (Part 2, Section A of this CFETP). The following training decisions were made during the U&amp;TW. The entire STS was reviewed and updated. Multiple line items were eliminated to reduce redundancy and align with the career field strategic objective of garrison equals deployed. 6.1 Initial (3) Skills Training. Tasks and proficiency codes in the 3-level course column were changed to reflect the career field's desire to increase the amount of hands-on training received by the students. Additions, deletions, and modifications were made to the course using OSR as the guiding criteria. 6.2 5-level Upgrade Training Requirements. The 5-level OJT and CDC columns were revised to align and increase proficiency in the subjects and tasks introduced in initial skills training; mandated use of QTPs and third party certification of all 5-level core tasks. 6.3 7-level Upgrade Training Requirements. 6.3.1 The 7-level OJT column was revised; mandated use of QTPs and third party certification of all 7-level core tasks; 6.3.2 Replaced the Bioenvironmental Engineering (BE) Advanced Measurements courses with the Bioenvironmental Engineering Site Assessment (BESA) Part I (ADL) and Part II (Inresident) courses. Mandated completion of BESA Part I and II. Completion of BESA Part I is a prerequisite for enrolling in BESA Part II. These courses provide critical assessment training, applying the Occupational and Environmental Health Site Assessment (OEHSA) concept to both garrison and deployed operations and particularly focusing on health risk assessment skill sets. Only those described in paragraph 5.2 above are eligible to enroll in BESA Part II. 6.3.3 Mandated completion of the BE Craftsman course. Continue the primary focus of the course on managing bioenvironmental engineering resources with no technical skills training. Completion of all 7-level core tasks is a prerequisite for attending the BE Craftsman course. 6.4 Proficiency Training. Any additional knowledge and skills requirements, which were not taught through initial skills or upgrade training, are assigned as continuation training. The purpose of the continuation training program is to provide additional training exceeding minimum upgrade training requirements with emphasis on present and future duty positions. The Medical Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (MNBC) Operations course was replaced with the Bioenvironmental Engineering Emergency Management Response (BEEMR) Part I (ADL) and Part II (In-resident) courses. The BEEMR courses provide training on critical skills necessary to operate on both MNBC Unit Type Code and Home Station Medical Response. The BEEMR Part I and II courses have been identified as an advanced course on the Specialty Training Standard (Part 2, Section A of this CFETP). It is not required for upgrade training.
7. Community College of the Air Force. Enrollment in CCAF occurs after completion of Basic Military training. CCAF provides the opportunity to obtain an Associate of Applied Sciences Degree. In addition to its associate degree program, CCAF offers the following: 7.1 Occupational Instructor Certification. Upon completion of instructor qualification training, consisting of the instructor methods course and supervised practice teaching, CCAF instructors who possess an associate's degree or higher may be nominated by their school commander or commandant for certification as an Occupational Instructor. 7.2 Trade Skill Certification. When a CCAF student separates or retires, a trade skill certification is awarded for the primary occupational specialty. The College uses a competency based assessment process for trade skill certification at one of four proficiency levels: Apprentice, Journeyman, Craftsman (Supervisor), or Master Craftsman (Manager). All are transcribed on the CCAF transcript. 7.3 Degree Requirements. All Airmen are automatically entered into the CCAF program. The journeyman 5-level must be held at the time of program completion and the following requirements must be met. As of the publication date of this CFETP, CCAF awards 24 semester-hours for completion of the Bioenvironmental Engineering Apprentice course.

11. Purpose. This section identifies known resource constraints that preclude optimal/desired training from being developed or conducted, including information such as cost and manpower. Narrative explanations of each resource constraint and an impact statement describing what effect each constraint has on training are included. Also included in this section are actions required, office of primary responsibility, and target completion dates. Resource constraints will be, as a minimum, reviewed and updated annually. There are currently no resource constraints. 12. Reporting Job Proficiency Training Constraints - Units/MAJCOMS. 12.1 Supervisors should report known resource constraints, which prevent personnel from completing the mandatory training requirements specified in this plan, to their unit enlisted specialty training (EST) manager. The authority for requesting waivers is AFI 36-2101, Military Personnel Classification Policy. 12.2 In the report, provide a brief description of the resource constraints which adversely affect your training program and include the impact this constraint has or will have on training. Identify the specific STS task code(s) affected. Also, provide a brief description of what you need to resolve the problem, including expenses, the corrective actions taken or to be taken, and the estimated completion date. 12.3 If the constraint can be resolved at the local level the report will be coordinated with the senior 4B0X1, and if the impact affects unit war skill requirements, the group commander. If the constraint needs MAJCOM support, forward the report through your group commander to the MAJCOM 4B0X1 Functional Manager. Constraints that cannot be resolved at the unit or MAJCOM level, or have a long term estimated completion date, must be forwarded to the 4B0X1 AFCFM as a request for waiver or deferment of CFETP requirements.

unique requirements. This area is reserved.
Section F - Documentation of Training (Medical Specific)
10. Development of a Work Center Training Plan and the Enlisted Training and Competency Folder. 10.1 The Focus. This training guidance is to bring all training documentation back into one OJT record. Over the years, training documentation has taken on many forms. The following training information provides specific guidance along with recommended documentation, consistent with current Air Force instruction/directives. This training guidance has focused on two main areas: 1) Developing a Master Training Plan and 2) Documentation of the Training in the Enlisted Training and Competency Folder. 10.2 Developing a Master Training Plan (MTP). 10.2.1. What Is It? A Master Training Plan is a reference guide developed for each section that includes all facets of training for individuals assigned. It is to be used as a reference source for the type of training and training documentation that occurs with each assigned member. The MTP is used to standardize training and to give trainers, trainees, supervisors, NCOICs, and OICs an overview of the training process for the duty section. The MTP is also used as a means to reduce the amount of paperwork previously required during the training process. 10.2.2 What's In It? Keep in mind that the Master Training Plan is an overview of training for the duty section; it should include all documents involved in the training process for the duty section. Training will vary from section to section and person to person, but there are certain documents that will be a standard requirement for all MTPs. They are listed below. 34

Milestones for Qualification Training Packages (QTPs) use for task completion and CDC completion (identify the projected timeframe the trainee will complete all required tasks, home station training, deployment/UTC tasks, and each set of CDCs/QTPs as required). 10.3 Documentation of Training. 10.3.1. The purpose of this section is to provide guidelines and examples of proper documentation for the many forms used in training all medical personnel. Training documentation helps us to assess readiness capability, individual strengths and weaknesses, and resources needed to support quality patient care. It also helps us meet all JCAHO and regulatory requirements. Enlisted Specialty Training documentation is migrating from the hard copy Enlisted Training and Competency Folder to the electronic Air Force Training Record (AFTR). Effective 1 Sep 08, all existing 4B0X1 training documentation (except for 623a entries and various training certificates) should be transcribed to AFTR. AFTR will also be upgraded to allow scanned document storage. Once this capability is activated, all existing hard copy 623a forms and training certificates must be scanned and added to each Airman's AFTR. AFTR is accessible from the Advanced Distributed Learning System via the Air Force Portal. Refer to your unit training manager for the most current policies and guidance on training documentation.

ON - THE - JOB TRAINING RECORD CONTINUATION SHEET INITIAL BRIEFING (Trainee Orientation)
______________________________ has been briefed on the On-The-Job Training (OJT) Program and how he/she fits into the program while in upgrade training (UGT). Upgrade training was explained as a dual-channel process designed to qualify an Airman for skill level upgrade. Dual-channel OJT is a systematic reportable application of self-study and the craftsman/apprentice principle. Trainees acquire job qualification while performing on the job under supervision. This combination, knowledge and job position qualification constitutes the dual-channel concept. Requirements from AFI 36-2101, 36-2108, and 36-2201 were covered. AF Forms 623, 623a, 797, 2096, and the CFETP, STS/JQS or automated JQS, which serves to make up the individual training record, was explained. Responsibilities of the commander, base training, BEF education and training manager (ETM), immediate supervisor, trainer, and trainee were discussed. The career development course (CDC) was briefly discussed and will be explained in detail when the CDC arrives, if applicable. Requirements for upgrade in your AFSC ____________ are: (1) Satisfactory completion of CDC ___________; (2) Supervisor certify job qualifications with adequate hands on training; (3) Meet typing proficiency of ______ WPM per AFI 36-2108, if applicable; (4) Completion of 7-level school, if applicable; and (5) Supervisor recommendation for upgrade. Each Airman in grades E1 through E6 (and SNCO's in retraining status) has an AF Form 623 that must contain a CFETP or JQS. The CFETP or JQS may contain 150 or more separate tasks but it should be annotated to show only those tasks the Airman is required to perform in his/her current duty position, all AFI 36-2108 mandatory requirements for upgrade, and core task requirements. In the JQS there is a space for both the supervisor and the trainee to initial to certify training is complete. In the CFETP, the trainer, trainee, and certifier have a space to initial when training is completed. After upgrade the CFETP or JQS will continue to be used to document further job proficiency training.
