What are job guides?

Job guides are specific types of technical orders (TOs) that provide abbreviated, step-by-step instructions for performing functional or operational checks on systems related to a particular job. They serve as a practical reference for Airmen, helping them to efficiently and accurately conduct checks necessary in their roles, particularly in maintaining weapon systems and aircraft armament systems.

This option emphasizes that job guides are not just general manuals or safety procedures; instead, they offer concise, task-oriented details that focus on the operational aspect of maintenance. By streamlining the information necessary to perform functional checks, job guides enhance the efficiency of technicians and ensure accurate compliance with maintenance standards. The specificity of job guides contributes to enhanced readiness and operational safety within the aircraft armament fields.
