Title:
Course Developer/Instructor-Financial Management
The Acquisition Instructor Course (AQIC) is the joint USAF & USSF acquisition course in which only the most highly qualified applicants are chosen to attend through a competitive selection process. The AQIC was established under the U.S. Air Force Vice Chief of Staff’s direction to integrate acquisition into the Air Force Weapons School. The AQIC resides as Detachment 2 under the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) with the purpose to cultivate military and civilian instructors within the acquisition force who are skilled in tactical acquisition, instructorship, and operational integration.
Within small class sizes, AQIC is intentionally designed to mirror the training methodology, organization, and rigor of the USAF Weapons School curriculum. This is a rare opportunity to provide cutting-edge financial management Subject Matter Expert (SME) support developing the best and brightest young acquisition officers and professionals into expert instructors and integrators who are deliberately and strategically placed throughout the acquisition enterprise to tackle the USAF and USSF toughest problems.
