• Marine Aviation TR Program Road Ahead
• TECOM (ATB)

Purpose

• Provide TECOM (ATB) perspective on MET-based
  training readiness
• Core METLs
• TR Program
• Training Readiness Reporting

3
Core METLs
4
Background

• DRRS Services required to develop METs
• Core METLs, Major Plans, Named Operations
• Services must standardize Core METLs for like
  tactical units
• This brief addresses Aviation Core METLs only

5
Core METLs

• Standardize/develop/validate/approve Core METLs
• Tactical RW/FW squadrons Workshops conducted
• MACCS /Avn Ground - In work
• ATB will assist/facilitate
• Higher echelon agencies - MAG, MAW, MEU ACE
• MALS, MWSG/MWSS

6
TR Program
7
Why Change?

• DRRS MET-based reporting requirements
• Current TR construct and respective training
  readiness reporting metrics does reflect
  MET-ready metrics - requires revision
• Fleet/MAWTS input
• AV-8 FA-18 TR Mission Skills
• Marine Corps Training Policy
• UTM MCO - Collective Training Standards

8
TR Program Revision Concept

• Core Skills
• Individual training foundation
• Implement Mission Skills
• Individual (crew oriented) training to perform a
  MET
• Forms basis for MET-Ready determination
• Prerequisites to Collective Training Standards
• Implement Collective Training Standards (CTS)
• Unit training to perform a MET
• Facilitates DRRS assessment gt demonstrated
  performance
• Mechanism to conduct formal Unit Evaluations per
  UTM

• New Phase (level) of training
• Existing 200-400 phase training consists of
  INDIVIDUAL Training Standards (ITS)
• New phase will consist of UNIT or Collective
  Training Standards (CTS)
• Unit trains to METs
• Conditions, Standards, Output Standards

Training Readiness Reporting

Background

• Readiness Reporting
• SORTS Order
• Combat Readiness Percentage or Phase Completion
  based
• Disconnected from TR Core Model
• TR Program Manual
• Core Model (CMMR)
• Still includes CRP (based on existing SORTS)
• Appendix D provides Core Skill-based readiness
• Core Model Training Report (CMTR)
• Anticipated Avn SORTS Update Jun 05never
  happened
• SORTS Advisory (7-01)
• Directs MET-based reporting with no standard for
  MET-ready
• DRRS
• Directs MET-based reporting
• Bottom line TR will provide objective measure
  to define MET ready

  etc.)
• Solicit OPFOR/DC AVN/MAWTS input
• Fall-Winter 2007
• Conduct TR Program Manual Review
• Spring 2008
• Coordinate required M-SHARP upgrades

M-SHARP Overview

• M-SHARP is a TMS (Training Management System)
• Marine Corps Sierra Hotel Aviation Readiness
  Program
• Designed to be authoritative source for aviation
  training data
• Replacing SARA, ATRIMS
• Web-based, but still supports deployed ops
• Government-owned / maintained by InnovaSystems
• Funding by MARFORs OMN (2.5M/yr)
• POM FY-10
• Coming to an air station near you
• Beta version test period thru Feb 07
• Primarily Miramar / VMA-223 Cherry Point
• Version 1.0 fielding Mar Sep 07 (slide)
• Complete throughout Aviation by Sep 07
• Transition deployed upon return

20

BLUF

• Effective implementation of DRRS MET-based
  reporting requires a solid TR Program definition
  of MET-ready
• Current TR construct and respective training
  readiness reporting metrics requires revision
• Road Ahead requires concurrence and cooperation
  at HQMC and Marine Forces levels

Core/Mission Skills

• Core Skills gt 200 Phase
• Enablers/Mechanics
• Implement Mission Skills in 300 Phase
• Each MET will have a corresponding MS
• MS use existing TR event format
• Trains individuals/crews to perform a MET

CTS Concept

• Provide a mechanism, in TR format, to conduct
  MET-based unit training
• Establish a clean method to determine Y/QY
  assessment in DRRS
• Units objectively demonstrates MET performance
  per established conditions and standards
• Enable formal unit evaluations
• UTM MCO (MCCRES Replacement)
