Can an enlisted Airman on TDY outside the CAFSC have a different DAFSC?

An enlisted Airman on Temporary Duty (TDY) outside their Control Air Force Specialty Code (CAFSC) can indeed be assigned a different Duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC) for the duration of their temporary assignment. This flexibility allows the Airman to adapt to mission requirements that may not align directly with their primary specialty. When on TDY, personnel may perform tasks or roles that necessitate using skills from other specialties, which justifies the assignment of a different DAFSC.

This practice is essential in ensuring the Air Force can effectively manage resources and personnel in varied operational environments where specialized skills may be required temporarily, hence resulting in the conclusion that enlisted Airmen can hold a different DAFSC while on TDY outside their CAFSC.
