I.46. Conducting the SMDR

SMDR conduct. The SMDR will be conducted virtually using TRADOC's Classroom XXI or digital training facilities (DTF). The TRADOC SMDR will be broadcast from a DTF facility in the Washington, D.C. area to TRADOC schools' local Classroom XXI/DTF. There will be a DTF available at Fort Eustis during the two-week period of the SMDR for the HQ staff, the U.S. Army Transportation School, and the Aviation School.

School participation via Classroom XXI/DTF in the SMDR is required. Due to facility size constraints, there is insufficient space for school representatives to attend. Schools are required to schedule a Classroom XXI/DTF at their respective locations during their scheduled time period. The school scheduled to start each day should book the room for a minimum of two hours beyond the scheduled time period. The follow-on schools should anticipate early starts and possible late finishes.

The TRADOC training and education program is developed based on identified requirements, past performance, and each school's projected ability to execute the program given appropriate resources. Prior-year show rates are a major factor in considering requirements.

The SMDR process emphasizes maximum utilization of training and education capacities within the school system. The training base capacity will be used for constrained courses. Proponents need to be ready to recommend how constraints can be overcome and where. For example, within the TASS, the training and education requirements should be accommodated. This excludes courses which, by policy, must be trained by the AA such as IMT, officer accession, etc.

(1) Input agencies (Human Resources Command (HRC), NGB, USAR, etc.) will be asked to voluntarily reduce their program requirements.

(2) If the AA schools within the TASS are unable to accommodate the projected load, they must recommend alternate solutions. If voluntary cuts are not accommodated by the input agencies and the course is not critical, reductions in the training and education program (by input agencies) will be levied by HQDA (Chief of the Training Requirements Office, Military Personnel Management Directorate with the concurrence of G-37, Training and Lead Development Directorate (Department of the Army Management Office, Training Requirements)) based on HQDA priorities. The no-show rates for previous years will be a major factor in considering training and education requirement reductions when the total training and education program exceeds course capacity. Part of the analysis should include USAR/ARNG institutions for training any excessive AA load. Proponents will identify the course to be taught and the number of requirements they estimate a TASS battalion can train.

Requirements for critical courses that cannot be resolved during the SMDR or the action officer meeting will be referred to the CoC and/or the General Officer Steering Committee (GOSC) for resolution.

Aviation training and education requirements will be supported with the following information from all input agencies:

(3) The current and projected numbers of aviators on hand, both commissioned and warrant, including specific ASI data.

(4) The number of aircraft on hand or projected to be on hand (for example, new fielding plans), by component.

(5) Commissioned and warrant officer rates of separation that generate requirement increases.

(6) Justification for refresher courses versus in-unit training and education beyond what is required to position students for additional flight courses at Fort Rucker, AL.

Resources:

(7) MFAD (ATRM-FA) allocates manpower by the POI proponent unit identification code. There are exceptions, but exceptions must be coordinated with TOMA and G-8, MFAD. The G-8 Budget Directorate (ATRM-BD) allocates dollars by course location regardless of the POI proponent.

(8) The final TRADOC training and education program will not exceed the baseline as measured in training and education man-years and budget loads for the SMDR program. Therefore, it may be necessary to limit input in selected courses and/or recommend certain courses for elimination or reduction in length. Training and education loads may be reviewed on two fronts so the bill payer targets may be adjusted. Input agencies must adjust inputs to remain below the baseline; or, if inputs have not grown, the training and education ACOM must pay the bill through course deletions and/or course length reductions. A recommendation will be made at the SMDR with final approval at the CoC and GOSC.

I.47. Post SMDR

As schools complete each SMDR period, TOMA and the senior school representative will compare notes to determine the unresolved issues. TOMA will task the school to take appropriate action to resolve the issues.

Within five working days of the completed SMDR, proponents will respond to TOMA (ATTG-TRI-MP) addressing all unresolved SMDR issues. Prepared using an "information paper" format, responses will identify solutions or actions initiated to resolve each issue. Each information paper will address a separate course (issue) and will provide sufficient detail to be a standalone document. At a minimum, the information paper will contain the issue, recommendation, and a detailed discussion. These papers will be addressed during the action officer and CoC meetings to resolve SMDR issues. They may also be reviewed by the GOSC, if required. The information papers are used to scope the magnitude of the problem and facilitate the DA G-3 decision process.

Decisions to leave the training and education requirement as stated in the SMDR require proponents to input the issue as an unresourced requirement with the appropriate priority in the POM to obtain required resources. The information paper does not do this. In addition, proponents need to track these issues through the resourcing process to ensure that resource decisions are made to train the ARPRINT. If problems arise, proponents should notify TOMA of the issue.

Proponents are required to develop class schedules for all courses and enter them into ATRRS no later than 60 days after publication of the ARPRINT and receipt of scheduling guidance for TRADOC (ATTG-TRI-MO).
