What does the K prefix identify in the DAFSC system?

• A. Instructor
• B. Evaluator
• C. CEAs
• D. Commander

Answer: (A)

The K prefix in the DAFSC system designates that the member is an instructor for that specialty. In this coding scheme, prefixes modify the base duty AFSC to show special roles or qualifications, and K signals that the airman is qualified and assigned to teach others in that field rather than only performing standard duties. This affects their training responsibilities, eligibility to certify others, and how they’re used in assignments. It isn’t used to denote evaluator, CEAs, or commander roles, which use different designations.
