Training Package: Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Agreements (Planning and Costing).
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) curriculum development directives and DOD directives related to systems acquisition. The author seeks to show the similarities of the procedures and processes used in each, and to indicate how more accurate training cost estimates are possible through thorough training requirement analysis. The study identifies documents that are related to cost reporting which can be used in conjunction with the curriculum development directives to provide a valid basis for more accurate cost estimating where training costs must be included in a package type Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case. The study takes advantage of the author's experience, gained in an on-going program, to show how pitfalls may be avoided, where advanced planning must be accomplished, and required funds, facilities, equipment, personnel, and other training related items projected. A brief planning model is provided. Also included are sample forms which will be useful in doing the training analysis, formulating the overall training plan, and organizing it in a manner which makes the cost track easier to follow.
