Which are the different levels of functional managers within the 1C0X2 career field?

• A. MAJCOM, Functional Manager, Career Field Manager, Chief Host Aviation Resource Manager
• B. Career Field Manager, MAJCOM, Functional Manager, Chief Host Aviation Resource Manager
• C. Functional Manager, Wing Commander, Base Supervisor, Chief
• D. Base Level Manager, Squadron Lead, Wing Resource Officer, Chief

Answer: (B)

Functional management for 1C0X2 spans from the Air Force-wide policy leader down to the on-base resource leader, with each level ensuring accountability and alignment at its scope. The Career Field Manager is the senior policy voice for the entire career field, setting standards, career development paths, and overall direction. The MAJCOM Functional Manager operates at the Major Command level, translating policy into command-wide guidance and overseeing implementation across units within that command. At the installation level, the Functional Manager handles day-to-day supervision and execution of the ARM program on the base, coordinating training, staffing, and resource management for the wings and tenant units. The Chief Host Aviation Resource Manager acts at the host installation as the senior ARM liaison, ensuring resources are managed effectively for the host and coordinating with tenant units and affected base entities.

Other options mix in roles that aren’t recognized as the standard levels of functional management for this career field, such as general command leadership positions or unrelated bases’ roles, which don’t reflect the formal, hierarchical ARM management structure.
