Abstract	Readability of Air Force logistics procedural manuals is generally too high for their readers. The readers, from different Air Force Specialties (AFS), are faced with a readability/reading ability gap when using the procedural manuals. This 'gap' was found to correlate directly with the frequency of discrepancies actually found over a two-year period by Air Defense Command (ADC) Headquarters Inspector General's Staff. Additionally, USAF manuals in the 66-, 67-, 70-. 75-, series were tested for readability using the Fog Count method. Mean readability was 17th grade (95% one side confidence interval), with a standard deviation of 4.5 grades (95% one sided confidence interval). Recommendations for action to correct problem areas found by the study are included. (Author).
