Command-Wide Group Training: Case Study

Decent Essays
Command wide Group Training - ATSC will be unable to promote professional and self-development and prepare its employees for future assignments causing a severe degradation in mission accomplishment and low employee morale. Employees who are not funded by their Career Programs will not be able to take the courses related to their job that will allow them the opportunities the Army promised them while climbing the ladder of success. The requirements for civilian trainers, training supporters, combat training and doctrine war fighting developers to expand their areas of expertise, scope of work, and responsibilities will be impacted drastically, thus handicapping the Army's goal to develop and maintain a world-class workforce. With the emphasis

    These courses provided follow on training specifically to Soldiers who were assigned to a FORSCOM unit which focused on the tactical aspect and skills of 35P Soldiers. The course length was 6 weeks and the curriculum was aimed at teaching the equipment that Soldiers would use while assigned to a Brigade Combat Team (BCT) or Brigade Forward Support Battalion (BFSB). Training within the course covered equipment, reporting skills and tactical movements. Soldiers were sent to their units requiring very little On the Job (OJT) training upon completion of the course and were both tactically and technically proficient. Establishing a course similar to CEWEOC or Prophet Operator would require additional man power and money, but realistically could be cheaper than an attempt to build tactical training course into existing AIT…

    The 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (4ABCT) proud tradition of excellence throughout its history took a turn for the worse with its recent deployment and redeployment issues from Afghanistan. An organizational change within 4ABCT is paramount in order to return to its storied heritage of excellence by being a contributing member of the division. In order to complete the change from its current state to a well-respected unit, I would execute a blended version of the seven-step vision process with John Kotter’s eight-stage model to create successful and lasting change. First, I would begin with conducting an initial assessment of the brigade prior to taking command, which is the first step in the seven-step vision process. From this initial…

    The United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence Noncommissioned Officers Academy (NCOA) is an organization founded with standards, and staffed highly skilled NCOs. The NCOA is composed of dedicated personnel with many strengths, but its NCOs are human and therefore the organization is not perfect. The greatest strength of the Academy is the constant effort to improve training, which ironically leads to one of its greatest weakness. That weakness is communication throughout the execution of the improved training throughout each class.…

    Perhaps the greatest shock to me when joining the DEL cohort 11 was the military presence, former and current. I was looking forward to substantial exposure to alternate views from obscuring industries that would assist in re-shaping my knowledge, skill and ability as an executive. My Air Force career took me all over the world and were invaluable but was a season. Entering in to a different season and changing industries and specialities I recognize the flaws and defieiences of the military experience, which have been measurable to my professional career. Specifically, the dependencies of protocol, procedures and requirements now appear to me as subordinate experiences to those in my current environment where they routinely are absent…

    Pre Commobilization

    • 1049 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Arguably, adding days to pre-mobilization is not as controversial or even as radical as consolidating training days, given that additional days would only occur in two of the five-year cycle which is a predictable pattern and not a constant requirement. On the other hand, consolidating training to a week or so, every 90 days is a radical approach that challenge the status quo. A bold move such as this one could lead to employers, schools, family, personnel, and perhaps political frictions. Since the inception of the All-Volunteer Force, RC soldiers voluntarily join for many reasons. Their voluntary status as RC Soldiers indicates they generally do not want the high operational tempo of the AC or taking additional time away from their civilian…

    Why has the Army forced its soldiers to adapt this new way of learning? Money. If money is the sole driving reason for the major change, the Army should redirect its thinking. Saving money at the expense of an untrained Army is a terrible idea. The Army now requires soldiers to complete online classes prior to going to professional growth schools or even become promotable.…

    SWOs will train many juniors and seniors in their career. The more we train and practice our trades with juniors, the more positive the impact we have across the Army. People PCS, people inter-post transfer, and people make lateral or promoted movements within their current organizations.

    The new technologies have integrated many sectors of combat system industries which needs a high level of qualification. Naomi Verdugo and Nehama E. Babin write in “The Impact of Advanced Technology on the U.S. Military”, that it is mandatory to adapt the skills of manpower to the requirements of new technologies. It will demand greater knowledge and more sophisticated skills than are presently. For instance, computer systems and networks remain advanced technology which is used now in the majority of telecommunication systems thus radically changing the profile of the users of these systems from soldiers to operators. This also will generate the need for skilled personnel in the maintenance sector because of the greater sophistication of new systems.…
