AETC Studies and Analysis Squadron’s (SAS) mission is to accelerate the transformation of Airmen development through relevant, responsive, and rigorous analytics.

Within SAS, the Airman Advancement Flight develops approximately 240 enlisted promotion exams with over 125,000 tests administered annually. The results of these tests are part of the Weighted Airmen Promotion System (WAPS) that helps to determine the advancement of Airmen to the grades of E-5 (SSgt) and E-6 (TSgt). Additionally, the flight produces the AF Handbook 1, Airman using associated electronic media, which supports officer, enlisted, and civilian personnel in their professional development journeys.
