National Guard Pre-Mobilization Training Certification: 54 Ways to Skin a Cat

Abstract

On January 19, 2007 the Secretary of Defense announced significant changes to the mobilization of reserve component (RC) forces in support of the Global War on Terror. Most notably RC forces would only serve 12 months of active duty for each mobilization. This would be accomplished by conducting a substantial portion of their pre-deployment certification training prior to mobilization reducing the required post-mobilization training time to approximately 2 months leaving the remaining 10 months for active employment in the theater of operations. The current conduct of pre-mobilization training certification (PMTC) is duplicative, confused, and nonstandardized and this paper will outline ways to remedy these shortcomings This paper will analyze three different states that recently completed the process of establishing teams to conduct the PMTC The research will focus on how the teams are structured and manned their specific roles and responsibilities and how they are funded and resourced The research will also look at the methods and procedures employed to certify training.
