What documents are maintained in the user file of the AFTR?

The user file of the AFTR (Aerospace Force Training Record) is specifically designed to maintain essential records related to an individual's medical qualifications and certifications. Among the most critical documents stored within this file are the current National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) card and Basic Life Support (BLS) Card. These documents signify that the individual has met the necessary certification requirements to perform specific medical duties.

The NREMT card demonstrates an individual's proficiency and successful completion of the emergency medical technician training and assessment, which is vital for ensuring that a service member is up to date with the necessary skills and knowledge. Similarly, the BLS card is essential as it confirms that the individual is trained to perform basic life support techniques, a fundamental skill required in emergency medical situations.

Other records, although important, do not belong in the AFTR user file. Performance evaluations, medical records, and training completion certificates may be kept in different locations or files as part of broader records management but are not specifically allocated to the user file in the context of the AFTR. This distinction underscores the importance of maintaining focused records that reflect the critical certifications necessary for operational readiness and safety in the aerospace medical service field.
