DAFI36-2907 establishes instruction for managing unfavorable information files, control rosters, letters of reprimand, letters of admonishment, and letters of counseling. It requires records generated through its processes to follow Air Force records management and disposition requirements.
Applies to: This instruction applies to uniformed members of the United States Space Force (USSF), the Regular Air Force (RegAF), the Air Force Reserve (AFR), the Air National Guard (ANG) on Title 10 orders, and the Civil Air Patrol Reserve Assistance Program.
Commanders (or civilian equivalents) use the control roster to establish a six-month observation period.
A brief incident of substandard performance or an isolated breach of standards, not likely to be repeated, should not usually result in an individual’s placement on the control roster.
The UIF establishing authority should not place an individual on the control roster as a substitute for more appropriate administrative, judicial, or nonjudicial action.
The control roster is cleared at 2359 hours on the last day of the observation period or on the date a member separates, retires, or dies.
UIF establishing authorities may take subsequent control roster action only if a new incident or failure occurs.
