Issue SCoE BC Training Strategy
(07-01-BC-SCoE) Discussion The current SCoE BC
training strategy addresses pooling of assets to
support multiple-like BC requirements across the
installation in support of institutional and
operational tenant unit requirements
(Lee/Eustis). There is a disconnect between the
VCSA guidance (ACP Update on 17 Apr 08) and the
emerging BCTS as to the responsibilities of CoEs
in training Operational Forces. Currently
DAMO-TRS has only validated Installation
(Lee/Eustis) requirement SCoE support of POIs
(Lee/Eustis/Jackson (future)) DAMO-TR has not
resourced requirement to provide pre-deployment
training support to TSC, ESC etc.

• STATUS Re-done draft BCTS is out for AO level
  staffing before being resubmitted. Institutions
  will have some limited Operational Training
  responsibility as directed by TRADOC.

• Assistance necessary No
• Discussion

G
Recommendation/Timeline TRADOC, SCoE
coordinate logistics community BC training
requirements with FORSCOM, FIRST Army, USARC and

  POIs.
• BCTC is for tenant Operational units on Ft
  Lee and Ft Eustis. It is not a SCoE BSC
  facility. New FY 15 Operational BCTC MCA project
  competing in FY10-15 POM. Based on DP 91, BCTC
  Design Board consult with garrison and units to
  determine operational facility requirement.

• STATUS BCTC requirement for Fort Lee was not
  validated on the FY10-15 POM. Will re-compete in
  FY12-17 POM. CAC-T, CTD and NSC reviewed the BCTC
  facility requirements for training ESC/BSC type
  units. Recommendation of increased building size
  resulted and was briefed to Mr. Moore.

should be applicable beyond AIT and SCoE. Some
CoE POI training gaps are thought to have a
gaming solution. These gaps need to be clearly
identified before determining if they are
suitable for GT. Examples Lighting the M2
burner is a sequenced operation. GT could show
process of lighting M2 burner and negative
consequences of using improper procedures. Create
situational vignette with a specific problem to
solve (e.g., supply sergeant with weapon turned
in for repair). Need an authoring SW-based
capability that allows SCoE to easily create and
edit scenarios/vignettes to satisfy SCoE training
objectives. Would require a multi-media device
(e.g., laptop, PDA, Game-boy).

• Issue No funding for legacy-class watercraft
  TADSS. (08-10-SP-SCoE)
• Discussion
• Legacy-class watercraft (LSV, LCU, etc.) Training
  Aids, Devices, Simulators, and Simulations
  (TADSS) remain a continual unfinanced requirement
  (UFR).
• While this fleet of watercraft has been fielded
  new technology upgrades (e.g. C4ISR
  capabilities), TADSS technology
  refresh/modernization has not been program funded
  (although, the TSCH has been aggressive about
  pursuing other funding sources).
• As the Army watercraft life cycle manager,
  Product Director, Army Watercraft Systems (PD
  AWS, Mr. Fred Williams) coordinate with DA G8,
  TRADOC Capabilities Manager-Transportation, and
  the USATSCH in identifying, requesting,
  obtaining, and executing funding sufficient to
  resolve this issue.

• STATUS PD AWS has submitted funding requests in
  the FY10-15 POM sufficient to fund non-JHSV TADSS
  requirements, if approved. JHSV TADSS funding
  requested in the FY10-15 POM, 9.9M, is short by
  approximately 1.7M. This shortfall and any
  other shortfalls resulting from receiving less
  than the amount of funding requested in the
  FY10-15 POM will be requested in the FY12-17 POM.

TSSR Issue Sheet Conduct of FORSCOM required
vehicle operator training
As of 24 Nov 08
08 ISSUE UPDATE

• Lead
• Mr. Charles J. (CJ) Florence, TSCH-ADSO,
  757-878-6557
• Mr. Sam Woolf, CASCOM TD

Issue Conduct of FORSCOM required vehicle
operator training is limited due to lack of
virtual simulator support (08-11-SP-SCoE) Discussi
on Resource constraints dictate that drivers,
commanders, and their units do not have
sufficient operational miles/hours (or other
resources) to hone these individual and
collective skills in a purely live-fire or
live-maneuver environment. Therefore, drivers
will require access to virtual training
capabilities. Current construct of the 7th
SBDEs driver training program consists of 23
hours of classroom and 17 of hours of live
driving prior to a Soldier being certified to
operate a vehicle on Ft Eustis and Ft Story, VA.
Systems will support deployment training for up
to 3,395 FORSCOM personnel. It is anticipated
that 8 hours of live training will be replaced by
virtual training

• STATUS USATSCH and CASCOM are leading the
  TRADOC effort to craft the Army Drivers Training
  Strategy to virtual drivers training via TADSS.

• Assistance necessary No
• Discussion

G

• Recommendation/Timeline
• Pass back to FORSCOM to resource their
  requirement.
• TRADOC re-address the Drivers Training
  Training Strategy.
