What is the maximum number of TIG/TIS eligible Airmen in a small unit?

The maximum number of TIG/TIS eligible Airmen in a small unit is established to ensure that leadership, mentorship, and readiness remain effective within the unit. The limit is set at 10 eligible Airmen, which allows for a manageable and focused approach to personnel management, ensuring that the development and advancement of Airmen can be closely monitored. This number also helps maintain a balanced structure within the unit, making it easier to provide adequate training and leadership opportunities. Keeping the number at this level enables the unit to prioritize quality over quantity regarding leadership roles and mentoring relationships, ultimately contributing to mission readiness and effectiveness.
