What Is the AF 1768 Staff Summary Sheet?
The AF 1768, also called the AF IMT 1768, is the Air Force's standard form for routing administrative packages that require documented review and approval at multiple command levels. It captures the action officer's identity, a summary of the proposed action, and a sequential chain of reviewer signatures, grades, and dates. Every reviewing official who handles the package signs a coordination tab, producing a traceable record from the originating office to the final approval authority.
What Information Goes in Each Coordination Tab?
Each coordination tab on the AF Form 1768 requires three items: the reviewing official's printed name, their military grade or rank, and the date they signed. Officials who concur sign in the concurrence block. Officials who do not concur write their objection in the remarks section and return the package to the action officer for revision. Once all required reviewers have signed, the final approval authority signs the decision block at the bottom of the form.
What Documents Should Be Attached to the Staff Summary Sheet?
Common attachments include balance sheets, operating statements, current officer rosters, revised constitutions or by-laws, and liability waiver documents. Number each attachment sequentially and cite it in the summary paragraph so reviewers know exactly what is enclosed. Certain recurring attachments require biennial revalidation, so confirm that all supporting documents are current before submitting the package.
When Should You Use the Staff Summary Sheet?
Use the AF 1768 whenever an administrative action requires documented coordination at more than one command level. Typical uses include annual organizational reviews, budget amendment requests, personnel policy changes, facility-use requests, and actions that require a waiver from a standing regulation. The form is not needed for single-level approvals, which are handled by memorandum or email in most Air Force units.
