When referring to member's duty section tasks, which document is necessary?

The Master Task List (MTL) is essential when referring to a member's duty section tasks because it outlines specific tasks that personnel are expected to perform in their roles. The MTL is directly associated with the operational needs of the unit and details the competencies that each member must achieve as part of their daily responsibilities.

The MTL serves as a comprehensive guide for training and assessment, providing clarity on the expectations for each position within the duty section. By focusing on the tasks listed in the MTL, supervisors can effectively track a member's progress and ensure that all required skills and knowledge are being addressed.

While other documents like the Career Field Education and Training Plan (CFETP) or the Air Force Training Record (AFTR) may play important roles in broader training objectives or the documentation of an individual's training history, the MTL specifically narrows down to the tasks required within a particular duty section, making it the most relevant document for tracking member responsibilities. The Master Training Plan (MTP) supports overarching training initiatives, but it does not provide the task-specific focus that the MTL does.
