Active duty
Field Training is commanded by an active duty USAF Colonel and a staff of approximately 55 active duty USAF officers, non-commissioned officers, and cadet training assistants (CTA). Active duty FT staff are typically selected from cadre at AFROTC detachments and serve in four to six-week rotations. "CTAs are POC cadets selected, based on their FT performance and overall cadet record, to return to Field Training as assistants to active duty staff members." There is one Flight Training Officer and one CTA assigned to each flight. In addition to flight CTAs, there are also traditional CTAs (who focus on Drill &amp; Ceremonies, Physical Training, Public Affairs, and Standardization).
