C. Background: This is a new position description (PD). The PD identifies new duties and responsibilities in the Deployment and Distribution Flight. The Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) directed a reorganization of the Global Wing Organization to streamline the mission generation chain of command in the Logistics operations.
D. Pay Plan, Series, Title, and Grade Determination:
1. Pay Plan: The primary duties and responsibility require trades, crafts, or laboring experience and knowledge, and are paramount (i.e., embodies the essential, prerequisite knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to perform the primary duty or responsibility for which the job has been established). Some of his duties, such as assisting in determining freight shipping requirements consistent with efficiency and transportation prioritiesare General Schedule, however areincidental to the primary purpose of the work(i.e. packing and motor vehicle operations). Since the paramount requirement for this position’s primary duties is trades knowledge, the work is assigned to the Federal Wage System.
2. Series: This is a mixed series position. As explained in paragraph 5c of section III-A of the Introduction to the Federal Wage System Job Grading System, jobs requiring the performance of work in two or more occupations (mixed jobs) are coded to the occupation which is most important for recruitment, selection, placement, promotion, or reduction in force purposes. This is ordinarily the occupation having the highest skill and knowledge requirements. The purpose of this position is to perform a variety of duties relating to materiel distribution activities, including organic ground transportation for cargo and personnel. It includes work involved in receiving, in-checks, routes, and moves parts, assemblies, components, and on-base turn-ins into and out of industrial shops which is described in the Materials Handling series, 6907 JGS. It involves packing and repacking a wide variety of materials. Most packing is accomplished using containers such as crates, boxes, cases, skids and a variety of packing materials such as cushioning or foam to protect the items from damage. The work requires the use of tools and equipment to move and pack the material. The incumbent must pack the items in accordance with Air Force and international regulatory packing and shipping requirements for hazardous and nonhazardous materials and items, and they must have in-depth knowledge to prepare and verify shipping documents for correct safety and destination coding, classifications and hazardous material handling criteria. The certification required when packing hazardous material is a regulatory requirement. This work is appropriate in the Packing, WG-7002 occupational code. In addition, the position also requires operating electric, LPG, or diesel powered fork lift trucks, operating one or more types of trucks such as pickups, and straight-in-line trucks which typically have an approximate gross vehicle weight of more than 32,000 pounds and/or truck tractors with semi-trailers or full trailers to transport personnel or pick up and deliver supplies, materials or equipment. The forklift operations are covered in the Materials Handling, WG-6907 and the Forklift Operating, WG-5704 JGS. The FWS JGS for Motor Vehicle Operating, 5703, series covers nonsupervisory work involved in the operation of gasoline, diesel, or electric powered wheeled vehicles to haul cargo and fuel, transport passengers, or to tow or recover equipment. The vehicles are driven in restricted traffic environments on Government installations, over public roads and highways, or under cross-country conditions. Also included are motor vehicles which have special-purpose or auxiliary devices where knowledge of such devices does not exceed the level of knowledge and skill required to operate the vehicle safely. Although packing operation is significant in terms of the skill required, the work is of a lower grade than the motor vehicle operation. The motor vehicle operating work is the highest skill and knowledge required and constitutes the most important skill for recruitment, selection, placement, promotion and reduction-in- force purposes. Therefore, the WG-5703 is determined to be the proper occupation.
