Who needs to file DAF 2096?
Air Force unit training managers, supervisors, and Military Personnel Flight staff complete DAF 2096 whenever an Airman, Guardian, or activated reservist needs an action on their AFSC, classification, or on-the-job training. Supervisors initiate the action, the training manager prepares the entry, and the personnel flight runs the official transaction.
After the form is processed, the member's record is updated to reflect the new AFSC, skill level, or training milestone. Detailers and assignment teams then see the change in the personnel system, which keeps career progression, promotions, and assignments aligned with the member's actual qualifications.
