The Unfavorable Information File (UIF) is an official record of adverse information about an individual. Our office requires an Adverse Action Monitor appointment letter from each unit. The UIF consists of:

  • All mandatory documents to include the Unfavorable Information File summary, AF Form 1137 (Please refer to DAFI 36-2907 table 3.2)
  • Optional documents (at the commander’s discretion)
  • AF IMT 1058, Unfavorable Information File Actions

The MPF maintains the UIF (except units that have fully operational CSSs) and all of its documents/contents until the final disposition date; unless early removal of the document or UIF is warranted. Commanders initiate removal action via an AF IMT 1058 and the individual should acknowledge the action.

If the unit initiates an UIF or adds/removes documents from a member’s UIF, please ensure your route the documents through the MPF IAW Total Force Adverse Actions PSD Guide.
