Individual readiness is the primary responsibility of which group?

The primary responsibility for individual readiness lies with all Airmen. Each service member has a personal obligation to maintain their own readiness, which includes ensuring their physical fitness, mental health, and administrative documentation are up to date. This comprehensive responsibility emphasizes the commitment of every individual to contribute to the overall operational effectiveness of the unit and the military as a whole. In addition to personal readiness, Airmen are expected to engage in continuous training and development to prepare for various mission requirements.

While unit commanders, senior leadership, and military support staff play crucial roles in guiding, supporting, and facilitating readiness activities, ultimately, individual readiness is a responsibility that every Airman must take seriously and act upon independently. Each member’s proactive engagement in their readiness not only enhances their capability but also strengthens the collective readiness of the entire force.
