Training Requirements and Training Delivery in the Total Army School System
Abstract:
This report analyzes training requirements and school delivery of training in the Total Army School System, focusing on the systems ability to meet its training requirements in Reserve Component Training Institutions. Two types of training are the subject of this research. The first is the education of Reserve Component noncommissioned officers NCOs. The second is reclassification training of soldiers who previously held one military occupational specialty MOS but who now need to be trained and qualified to hold a different MOS. The report examines the execution year of Region C, where the prototype Total Army School System was established in the southeastern United States FY95-compared to the implementation year FY94, as well as examining the prototype in relation to the overall system. The document also analyzes the impact of personnel policy changes that could enhance the training systems flexibility and effectiveness in meeting training requirements i.e., by lowering turbulence to reduce demands on the system. This report is part of a larger effort by RAND Arroyo Center to analyze the performance and efficiency of the RC school system.
