What is the purpose of an Airman Comprehensive Assessment?

The purpose of an Airman Comprehensive Assessment is to establish a formal communication channel that focuses on discussing standards, expectations, and goals related to an Airman's performance and development. This assessment is not merely a checklist or a numeric evaluation; rather, it serves as an opportunity for meaningful dialogue between the Airman and their supervisor. Through this process, the supervisor can provide constructive feedback, identify areas for improvement, and set future objectives that align with both personal growth and the organization's mission. These discussions ensure that Airmen understand how their contributions fit within the larger framework of their duties and the goals of their unit, fostering an environment of continuous improvement and professional development.
