Military Faculty
We acquire new officers in two ways:
the Air Force Assignment System (AFAS) and AFIT sponsorship.
I. Air Force Assignment System (AFAS): Qualified individuals typically hold an advanced degree
in Warfare Studies, Airpower Studies, Political Science, International
Relations, International Security, Space Studies, Strategic Studies,
Military History, or a related field.
II. AFIT Sponsorship: We sponsor a limited
number of highly qualified officers for doctorate deegrees
in fields related to military strategic studies. Officers seeking
sponsorship should have strong operational backgrounds. Those
in non-rated ops career fields typically come from AFSCs such as space/missile, and intelligence; or mission support fields such as Civil Engineering, OSI, Security
Forces, Communications, or Logistics. Officers in rated ops career
fields such as pilot, navigator or air battle manager will also
be considered on a case by case basis, but the extensive demand
for members of these specialties in the operational Air Force takes
precedence. Captains and junior Majors holding M.A.s in National Security
Studies, Military History, or Political Science/International
Relations are preferred for Ph.D. sponsorship.
If you are interested in appyling, please contact our
