DODD 8570.01, Information Assurance (IA) Training, Certification, and Workforce Management

The correct answer is Enhanced Technical Information Management System (ETMIS). This system is responsible for managing the distribution and printing of paper technical orders. It is specifically designed to handle technical information and ensure its efficient distribution to the appropriate personnel. The other options, Office Automation System (OAS), Decision Support System (DSS), and Training Business Area (TBA), are not directly related to the management of technical orders.

The Chief, Directives Division (DD), under the Director, Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) is responsible for assigning numbers to Department of Defense (DOD) issuances based on the established subject groups and sub subject groups.

JP 6-0, Joint Communications System is the keystone document for the communications-system series of publications. This publication provides guidance and doctrine for the planning, development, and execution of joint communications systems in support of joint operations. It outlines the principles, policies, and procedures for establishing and operating joint communications systems, ensuring interoperability and effective communication among different military services and agencies.

Air Force Mission Directives (AFMD) prescribe the mission, area of responsibility, organization, and relationships of MAJCOMs, FOA, and DRUs with their respective units. This publication provides specific guidance on the roles and responsibilities of these entities within the Air Force, ensuring effective command and control, and facilitating the accomplishment of their assigned missions. AFMDs serve as a reference for commanders and personnel at all levels, helping to establish a clear understanding of the overall operational framework and ensuring unity of effort across the Air Force.

The Technical Order Distribution Office (TODO) is responsible for overseeing technical order requirements and distribution within an organization. They are in charge of ensuring that technical orders, which provide instructions and information on how to operate and maintain equipment, are properly distributed to the personnel who need them. The TODO ensures that technical orders are readily available and accessible to the appropriate individuals, allowing for efficient and effective operations within the organization.

Chartering directives are a type of Department of Defense Directive (DODD) that establishes the official mission, responsibilities, function, relationships, and authority of Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) component heads and other agencies. These directives outline the purpose and scope of the organization, as well as the roles and responsibilities of its members. They provide a framework for the functioning and coordination of various departments and agencies within the OSD, ensuring clarity and consistency in their operations.

The correct answer is Standard Installation Practices TO (SIPTO). This type of technical order has a numerical designator beginning with "31" and covers topics such as basic electronics technology and testing practices.

Non-directive Air Force publications are informational and suggest guidance that can be modified to fit the circumstances. Unlike directive publications, which provide specific instructions that must be followed, non-directive publications offer more flexibility and allow for adaptation based on the specific situation or context. These publications provide general information and guidance that can be tailored to meet the needs of different units or individuals within the Air Force.

The correct answer is Time Compliance Technical Order (TCTO) procedures. This means that the information outlined in TO 00-5-1 does not include the procedures related to Time Compliance Technical Orders. The other options, such as resources required to manage and use TOs, infrastructure to manage and use TOs, and training to manage and use TOs, are all described in TO 00-5-1.

Air Force Instructions (AFI) are directive publications that provide essential procedural guidance on implementing Department of Defense, Air Force, or higher departmental policies and/or laws. These instructions serve as a comprehensive source of information for Air Force personnel to ensure compliance with established policies and procedures. They outline specific steps and guidelines that individuals and units must follow in order to carry out their duties effectively and in accordance with the overall objectives of the Air Force. AFIs are an important tool for maintaining consistency and standardization within the Air Force and ensuring that policies are properly implemented at all levels.

Any user may post an update to a technical order assuming they are training and authorized access to the data. This means that as long as the user has the necessary training and authorization, they have the ability to make updates to the technical order. The other options, such as TODA, TODO, and library custodian, do not have the same level of authority and access as any user.

Policy and Non-Policy

The correct answer is Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA). ECIA develops standards for interconnect, passive and electro-mechanical (IP&E) electronic components under the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) designation of Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standards.

Air Force Policy Memorandum (AFPM) publications expire one year after their effective date or when superseded by an Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD). This means that AFPM publications have a limited lifespan and are subject to being replaced or updated by higher-level directives. Unlike Air Force Instructions (AFI), Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD), and Air Force Mission Directives (AFMD), AFPM publications have a shorter shelf life and are not considered as permanent guidance.

AF Handbooks (AFHs) are a type of non-directive Air Force (AF) publication that is not subject to frequent change. Unlike AF Doctrine, AF Pamphlets (AFPAMs), and AF Visual Aids (AFVAs), which may require updates to reflect changes in policies, procedures, or technology, AFHs are typically more static and provide comprehensive guidance on specific subjects. They are designed to be reference materials that remain relevant over a longer period of time, providing consistent information and guidance to AF personnel.

Air Force Policy Memorandums (AFPM) are orders issued by the Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF) that contain directive policy statements.
