ACAs are mandatory for which groups?

• A. All civilian employees
• B. All personnel including civilians
• C. Officers up through Colonel, plus all Regular AF and ARC
• D. Officers only

Answer: (C)

ACAs are a formal performance feedback tool used across the Air Force to document evaluation and development needs. They’re required for commissioned officers from junior officer up through colonel, and they also apply to all members of the Regular Air Force and the Air Reserve Component, ensuring consistent assessments across active-duty and reserve personnel. Civilians aren’t included in this ACA requirement, and general officers above colonel typically follow a different evaluation path. That combination—officers up to colonel plus all Regular AF and ARC—is why this option is the best fit.
