Which command is involved in the specialty training standard (STS) for the AFSC?

The correct answer is associated with the specialty training standard (STS) for the Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) because the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) is primarily responsible for developing and overseeing the training programs for various Air Force specialties. AETC focuses on ensuring that Air Force personnel receive the appropriate education and training to fulfill their roles effectively. This includes creating and maintaining STSs, which outline the necessary skills, knowledge, and behaviors that members in a specific AFSC must attain.

The other commands have distinct focuses that do not include the overarching responsibility of developing training standards for AFSCs. For example, while Air Combat Command (ACC) focuses on combat readiness and operational support, and Air Mobility Command (AMC) specializes in air mobility operations, neither of these commands is responsible for the educational and training structures that AETC manages. Similarly, Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) primarily deals with operations and support in the Pacific region, further highlighting the unique role AETC plays in training standardization across the Air Force.
