Which document serves as a roadmap for an Airman’s career progression?

The Airman's Development Plan (ADP) is specifically designed to outline and guide an Airman's career progression within the military. It includes goals, career objectives, and the necessary training and education needed for advancement in rank and responsibilities. The ADP allows Airmen to assess their career aspirations in conjunction with the needs of the Air Force, providing a structured approach to their personal and professional development.

While the Training Manual may cover specific training requirements, it does not provide a comprehensive overview of an individual’s career journey. The Performance Review Document focuses on evaluating past performance rather than future career growth. The Career Transition Handbook is typically aimed at helping Airmen transition out of military service, rather than acting as a roadmap for ongoing career advancement.
