What document prescribes and explains how the United States Air Force and United States Space Force will participate in Department of Defense Global Force Management Processes?

• A. AFI 10-401 - Air Force Operations Planning and Execution
• B. AFI 10-403 - Deployment Planning and Execution
• C. DAFI 10-401 - Air Force Operations Planning and Execution
• D. DAFMAN 10-406 - Unit Type Code Management

Answer: (C)

Global Force Management processes coordinate how DoD assigns and sustains forces across the joint force. The Department of the Air Force Instruction 10-401, Air Force Operations Planning and Execution, is the document that prescribes and explains how the Air Force and Space Force participate in those processes. It provides the policy, roles, and procedures for planning, programming, and executing operations within the joint framework, ensuring these services’ inputs are aligned with DoD GFM cycles, data standards, and joint requirements. It covers how deliberate and crisis-action planning feed into the GFM process and how units are assessed for availability and readiness in coordination with Combatant Commands, the Joint Staff, and other DoD entities. AFI 10-403 centers on deployment planning and execution rather than DoD-wide GFM participation, and DAFMAN 10-406 deals with Unit Type Code management, which is a coding and organization matter, not the overarching GFM involvement described in the Air Force instruction.
