Which publications outline the SIB duties?

• A. DAFI 91-204 Chapter 8 & DAFMAN 91-223 Chapter 6
• B. DAFI 91-204 Chapter 2 & DAFMAN 91-223 Chapter 4
• C. DAFMAN 91-223 Chapter 8
• D. DAFMAN 91-223 Chapter 4

Answer: (A)

The question is about where the SIB duties are officially defined. The authoritative references are the Air Force publications that address mishap investigations and safety investigation management. In these two, the SIB’s responsibilities during investigations are laid out: DAFI 91-204 Chapter 8 describes the SIB’s role, authority, and how it interfaces with other investigators during a mishap investigation, including how coverage of the investigation is structured and how evidence and records are handled. DAFMAN 91-223 Chapter 6 reinforces and elaborates on the SIB duties within the safety investigation framework, detailing how the SIB operates within that process and what is expected in terms reporting and coordination. Together, these two chapters provide the formal reference for what the SIB is required to do. The other option pairs chapters that do not specifically outline the SIB duties in this combined, authoritative way, so they’re not the correct combination.
