ISSUE ITEM #: 
SUBJECT: Requirements Deviation 
 
BACKGROUND: A few bioenvironmental engineering personnel 
(907X0) deployed were not prepared to handle independent duty 
at remote sites. At some locations, such as Diego Garcia, the 
907X0 was not effectively utilized because of existing support 
from contractor and Navy units already in place. Given more 
lead time, deploying personnel were briefed on potential 
hazards and had a better idea of what their involvement should 
be. Also, 9126 and 907X0 requirements were matched with 
appropriately skilled personnel. 
 
DISCUSSION: Based on existing resources, some bioengineering 
personnel were under utilized while others were not well 
prepared to accomplish their tasks. 
 
ACTION RECOMMENDED: Based on feedback from deployed personnel, 
readjustment of AFSCs being deployed must be considered and the 
substitution of IDMT type 902X0 personnel for 907X0 personnel 
should be considered, especially at Diego Garcia. 
 
SUGGESTED OPR: HQ USAF/SGPA
