Survey of User Attitudes Towards Army Training Literature.
Abstract
To achieve an effective fighting force, the Army maintains an extensive training system. Officer training places emphasis on formal school training. Formal school training also provides enlisted personnel initial exposure to the principles of soldiery in Basic Combat Training (BCT). The training prepares soldiers to function at an apprentice level in a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), on the basis of either Advanced Individual Training (AIT) at a training center or training at an Army branch school for more technical MOSs. Subsequent training of individual enlisted personnel is carried out largely within the unit to which personnel are assigned. Unit 'schools' provide varied training in the context of the unit; leadership training for noncommissioned officers (NCO) is usually provide in this manner. Training is also provided within the unit to combine the skills of individuals into effectively functioning units. During unit training--Basic Unit Training, Advanced Unit Training, and Operational Readiness Training--enlisted personnel learn to function as a unit, and officers gain experience in leading troops and in the exercise of command and control procedures.
