The Air Force actually has an Air Force Instruction (AFI) that governs the Enlisted Force and its duties by both rank tier and specific rank.
I always keep a few hard copies, known as "the little brown book" in my desk drawer. Before the age of the smart phone I carried one on me, now I have the digital version in my phone as a handy reference. I use it all the time for on the spot mentoring and formally when doing our required Airmen Comprehensive Assessments or ACA (formally feedbacks) to highlight where I am getting my expectations from. It is not just me making these requirements/expectations up, they are no kidding black and white requirements in the AFI!
I am always shocked when I have an Airmen that has no idea about the Enlisted Force Structure, I am dismayed when an NCO doesn't know about it, and disappointed as recently as last week when I had 2 Officers in a class I was teaching that had no idea what it was.
So for our sister service folks, here is the "little brown book": http://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a1/publication/afi36-2618/afi36-2618.pdf
AF Members: Do you routinely use the Enlisted Force Structure?
Sister Service Members: Does your Service have a Reg, Manual, Instruction, etc that is roughly the same? If not. would you want one?

I believe that the Army may have a specific one, but a quick google search cites the Army's 'Blue Book' Tradoc Pam 600-4 Chapter 6 outlines the rank structure.

This is a guide book for newly enlisted Soldiers. It is not the regulation. I haven't found the specific publication out there that covers this as of yet.

Upon furthur research, the US Army's Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development Guide is the best answer I can find. It details what each Soldier of all ranks is to know for their job skill.

Again, this is a guide of how Soldiers should be, know, and do. It is not a reg.

SSG (Join to see), that looks like it might be the counter part to our Professional Development Guide.
