Requesting RPA Orders
In addition to IDT and AT, there are three other types of special tours that fall under RPA: Active Duty for Training (ADT), Active Duty for Operational Support (ADOS), and School tours.  RPA are orders funded by the Air Force Reserve.

ADT is used to supplement AT and IDT when additional training is needed to achieve or maintain a required skill or skill level in the IR's assigned Duty Air Force Specialty Code (DAFSC). ADT includes the Seasoning Training Program 1 and Seasoning Training Program 2 or STP-1 and STP-2.

ADOS provides direct support to Reserve programs. ADOS days are distributed directly from AFRC or through RIO Detachments.

School tour funding may be used by IRs for, but not limited to, the following: Officer Developmental Education (DE), Enlisted Professional Military Education (EPME), Professional Continuing Education (PCE), Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL), initial skill training for nonrated officers and enlisted members (technical school for award of AFSC).
