In the second week of November 2016, the Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force, International Affairs, Policy, Programming and Strategy Directorate (SAF/IAP), will convene a Total Force Direct Utilization (DU) Board (Regular Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard) for certification of Regional Affairs Strategist (RAS) officers and award of the secondary Air Force Specialty Code 16F1X.

In order to be considered by this board, applicants must comply with all instructions outlined in the FY17 Total Force RAS DU Memo, accessible from a Common Access Card-enabled computer. Incomplete applications will not be considered. The suspense for all complete packages to be received is 4 Sept. 2016.

Board members will evaluate applicants based on the whole person concept. When preparing supporting documents, applicants are encouraged to highlight their depth and breadth of international experience, in both military and civilian capacities.

After reviewing the instructions, if any questions remain, interested candidates can email the organizational email account listed in the memo.
