The Airmen Development Plan is a new Web-based decision support tool designed to integrate numerous force development tools, including electronic records, duty histories, and assignment preferences, into one platform. Phase one of the ADP, launched in September, will apply to active duty officers and will replace the transitional Officer Development Plan. In February 2008, phase two will replace the transitional Civilian Development Plan and will also incorporate the developmental education nomination process.
   Officers can access the ADP via the AFPC secure Web site and the Air Force portal. The ADP will be the one tool for all active duty officers and civilians to convey desired assignment, professional development, intermediate and senior developmental education, and leadership preferences to senior raters and development teams.
   When development teams review Airmen careers, they will use the ADP to 'vector' Airmen into the right experiences or the right education to meet their career goals and the needs of the Air Force. Through this new system, senior raters and development teams will have access to personnel records, performance and training reports, and decoration citations online.
   The ADP enables senior raters to better manage and nominate military and civilian personnel for command, leadership and developmental education opportunities.
   The Air Force has also established a web page on the Air Force Portal where enlisted personnel can create their own development plan. The page can be accessed by typing "MyEDP" in the search function.
