The Process and Procedures Used for Job Preparation; Field Artillery and Infantry Officers and NCOS

Garrisonadministrative requirements consume a large percentage of Field Artillery and Infantry officers and NCOs work day, allowing little time for combat training, the primary peacetime mission of the U.S. Army. This Research Report examines the process and procedures by which these individuals are prepared to assume garrisonadministrative responsibilities. Included in the report is an identification and description of the components of the job preparation system, and an assessment of the adequacy of that system. Recommendations are provided for modifying the current job preparation system to allow officers and NCOs to more effectively and efficiently perform their garrisionadministrative duties.
