EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- On 14 September 2022, the Air Force released the results of Academic Year 2023 Civilian Development call. Air Force Test Center had 69 primary and alternate selects.
The Department of the Air Force AY23 CD Selection Board was held 3-5 Aug 22. Twelve SES members and two General Officers considered a total of 318 applicants. The board selected 131 primaries and 91 alternates to attend a variety of Civilian Development opportunities. Functional Development Teams selected a total of 1,178 primary and 138 alternates for CD DT-approved programs. This number will increase when the DoD makes final selections for the Defense Civilian Emerging Leader Program, which will be in the late September to early October.
Candidates were eligible to be a primary or alternate for multiple programs. Selectee status is indicated as "primary" or "alternate." Those selected for the Civilian Strategic Leadership Program are indicated as "primary".
According to Mr. Dave Eisenstadt, the AFTC Director of Personnel, the CD process was very competitive this year. AFTC did exceptionally well. The selects should be very proud, they are the best of the best.
