Analysis of Air Force Contingency Contracting Training Needs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781288282609)

This research examined the Air Force training needs of contingency contracting officers (CCOs). The study utilized the inductive approach to research. A survey instrument captured the data for the study. The survey captured input from CCOs with deployment experience and each of the Air Force components and Major Commands (MAJCOMs). Series 1 of the survey polled CCOs with deployment experience to determine the training CCOs require based on their personal experiences. Series 2 surveyed the component and MAJCOM level supervisors to determine their perception of the training that should be required for CCOs. Comparing the two series identified the differences in responses from the groups. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used to interpret the completed surveys. The survey analysis was used to determine what tasks should be trained prior to a CCO being deployed. This study tried to capture the general contracting tasks that may be performed at any contingency location. The survey results were combined and a set of training tasks were identified for CCOs.
