Technical Skill Training in the Selected Marine Corps Reserve.
Abstract
This report describes the approach now used by the Marine Corps to build and sustain technical logistics skills in individual Marines of the Selected Marine Corps Reserve. The purpose of this work is to assess both the suitability and the adequacy of the policies and programs that support technical skill training for the men and women of the Marine Corps Reserve. It addresses only the programs dealing with developing and sustaining specific, important technical logistics skills of individual enlisted personnel, rather than training programs for management and supervisory skills or training efforts in collective or unit proficiency. It has concentrated on seven Marine Corps logistics specialties as they occur in the Selected Marine Corps Reserve and have excluded consideration of the Individual Ready Reserve. The terms Reserve , Selected Reserve, and Selected Marine Corps Reserve are used interchangeably. For a full understanding of the requirements that must be met by individual training programs, it analyzes the military jobs--the roles and responsibilities of the enlisted logistics specialists of the Selected Marine Corps Reserve--considering wartime assignments as well as documented peacetime duties. It reviews data on the personal attributes and experience of the Marine Corps Reservists who now occupy these positions to understand whom the Marine Corps is training. Third, it analyzes the overall training strategy and the specific training programs that prepare logistics specialists of the Marine Corps Reserve for their wartime tasks.
