How often must WAPS materials be reviewed for updates?

WAPS (Weighted Airman Promotion System) materials require annual reviews to ensure they remain current and effective for promotion processes. This frequency allows for timely updates to the criteria, standards, and any other relevant changes that may impact the evaluation of airmen. By conducting reviews each year, the system can adapt to developments in policies, regulations, and operational needs, thus maintaining an accurate and fair assessment of airmen’s qualifications and readiness for advancement. Keeping WAPS materials updated annually helps ensure that decisions regarding promotions are based on the most relevant and up-to-date information. This practice is essential for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the promotion system within the military framework.
