The ASIs 7D and 7E are used for identification of positions and personnel in selected MOS where the training process is incorporated into a lifelong learning strategy that qualifies Soldiers in the skills to perform all critical MOS tasks to standard in a specific unit or organization type.
Multiple tracks are used to train all critical skills associated with the MOS.
Either ASI 7D or 7E will be used in TOE/MTOE and TDA documents to identify the MOS track training required for the organization (see table 12-6 and 12-7).
a.
The use of 7D or 7E must be in accordance with Headquarters, Department of the Army authority contained in table 12-6 or 12-7–MOS Authorized Use of ASI 7D and 7E–Assignment Oriented Training.
Requests for additional authorized uses will be submitted through appropriate channels to CG, HRC, ATTN: AHRC-PLC-C.
The request will include:
(1)
The supporting documents as outlined in AR 611-1 (Military Occupational Classification and Structure Development and Implementation), chapter 2.
Special emphasis should be placed on:
(a) Course Administrative Data (CAD)
All AOT MOCS proposals must include the approved CAD for the proposed training.
(b) Training Base Impact Statement (TBIS)
The TBIS must address the training for the implementation year of the AOT proposal.
The TBIS will compare the current training as approved and the proposed training to demonstrate the cost/savings to the Trainees, Transients, Holdees and Students (TTHS) account in man-years and instructors.
(c) AOT ASI Specifications
The AOT ASI specifications must be clearly defined with special attention to the position documentation.
The position documentation guidance in the specifications must clearly define where in the authorization/requirements documents the AOT ASI for a training track will be coded.
This guidance will be used to mark-up the current MOS and TAADS extracts with the applicable ASI and be used to correctly code future documents.
(d) MOS and TAADS Extracts
By definition, AOT coding of positions will be applicable to all positions within the AOT grade-band of the MOS for all components (Active, NGB and USAR).
MOS and TAADS extracts correctly marked with the applicable AOT ASI per the documentation guidance established in the AOT ASI specifications must be provided.
(2)
In addition to the MOCS proposal documents required by AR 611-1, AOT proposals must include the following:
(a) Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP)
AOT by definition produces a Soldier that is qualified to perform the duties and functions necessary for their first assignment and possible following-on assignments but is not fully MOS qualified per the specifications of the MOS.
As such, AOT proposals must include a narrative concept plan that addresses Soldier qualification through out the life-cycle of the MOS to include Initial Military Training (IMT) for the AOT common core and/or ASI track, unit and subsequent training as necessary, resident or Distance Learning (DL) and professional development training such as NCOES.
The proposal must also specifically define the when and how within the Soldier’s Career Path that they will become fully MOS qualified.
The LLP must address Soldiers in all components (AC, NGB, USAR).
Any resident courses required for the Lifelong Learning plan must also be addressed in the TBIS.
(b) Training Requirements Forecast (TRF)
An AOT proposal must include a narrative listing of any additional resource requirements needed to accomplish the Lifelong Learning Plan such as funding, classrooms, training aids, instructors, barracks, drill sergeants and other equipment over the life cycle of the concept.
(c) Funding Requirements
An AOT proposal must include a statement of funding requirements over the Program Objective Memorandum (POM) and Unfinanced Requirements (UFR) for the execution and budget years.
The AOT proposal must also include statements that identify risks and detail alternative Lifelong Learning Plan Courses of Action (COA) if funding is not available.
(d) Projected costs/savings over the life cycle of the Soldier
A statement that details the projected costs/savings over the life cycle of the MOS.
An example would be a comparison of training costs and TTHS for the implementation year for IMT, NCOES and other required training as currently approved and the same under AOT.
(e) Strategic Communications Plan (SCP)
An AOT proposal must contain a SCP that details the Proponent Public Relations Plan that will inform the Army leadership and rank and file on the MOS converting to AOT and how it will be disseminated so commanders, individual replacement operations and supervisors understand what the Soldier is qualified to do, where they should be utilized and how they are identified.
(3)
All AOT proposals will be submitted through TRADOC for supportability review.
AOT proposals supported by TRADOC will be forwarded to ODCS G-1, Military Personnel Structure and Plans Division, ATTN: DAPE-PRP for processing and staffing.
Proposals not supported by TRADOC will be returned to the submitting Proponent without further action.
b.
The life span of the ASI 7D and 7E will be indefinite from the effective date of authorization.
The proponent will initiate action to delete the MOS association with ASI 7D and 7E when no longer needed.
