Analysis of U.S. Army Enlisted Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) for Rapid Train-up Program (RTUP) Application

Authors: Ronald E. Kraemer; ARMY RESEARCH INST FOR THE BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES ALEXANDRIA VA
Abstract:
Fourteen U.S. Army service schools participated in a Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) sponsored research effort to identify U.S. Army Enlisted Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) suitable for training Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) soldiers using Rapid Train-up Program (RTUP) methods. The objectives of the research were to determine (a) which task at skill level 1 for each MOS were highly critical for combat; (b) which highly critical combat tasks were suitable for training IRR soldiers in an RTUP using a procedure guide, training guide, or no training materials; and (c) the average time required to provide refresher training to standard using a training guide. Data obtained from service school subject matter experts (SMEs) indicated that 88 of 141 MOS analyzed were suitable for RTUP training. Moreover, 68 of these MOS could be refresher trained using training guides during a 3-day time frame being considered by the U.S. Army Training Board (USATB) for conducting an RTUP program. Keywords: Mobilization, Reserve component, Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), Training strategy. (sdw)
