Training 35,000 new recruits each year is an enormous task. Nine squadrons accomplish this mission. Seven of these are training squadrons that train Regular, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve recruits in the fundamentals of being an airman. This includes military discipline, drill and ceremonies, Air Force core values, physical fitness and a comprehensive range of subjects relating to Air Force life.
Two squadrons support the basic training mission by providing personnel records management, job classification and discharge actions, resource management support, academic instruction and field training.
