Wing Assistance

• Deploying requirements for ILO Airmen ? AEF
  Airmen
• Pick strong/self-motivated leaders equipped for
  unique challenges
• Physically fit to deploy outside the wire
• Up-to-date security clearance
• IDO Process
• Pay attention to unique equipping training
  needs (attention to detail / dont assume) 2 AF
  will work with home units to resolve shortfalls
• Timing compressed due to ILO training
• Wings must load names based upon first movement
  date not LAD
• Readiness Flights need to review/follow ILO
  reporting instructions
• Gas mask fit test
• Frequency of 365-day TDYs will continue to
  increase
