Chapter 2

Compliance…Standards, Accountability and Discipline



2-1. IET requirements

IET is conducted in five phases:


a. Phase I: Focus is on developing “character and enhanced performance” through introduction to military customs and discipline, the Army ethic, values, physical readiness training, and resiliency. To progress to phase II, recruits must demonstrate a level of functional fitness which will allow them to meet follow-on physical fitness requirements. Trainees who meet Phase I requirements are authorized to wear the Army patch (Army Star Logo) on their Army Combat Uniform (ACU). All Trainees will Complete the global assessment tool (GAT) and initiation of building mental resilience.
b. Phase II. Focus is on individual Soldier tasks as defined by the Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills (WTBDs). The Army has identified various basic WTBDs that all Soldiers are required to be proficient in order to succeed on the battlefield. These WTBDs cover critical skills associated with the ability to shoot, move, communicate and survive. To progress to phase III, recruits must demonstrate individual cognitive proficiency on the Warrior Tasks. Evaluation is conducted by an end of phase test. Upon completion of Phase II each trainee will earn a rifle qualification badge.
c. Phase III. This phase builds upon what was learned over the past two phases and reinforces the basic combat skills with a focus on teamwork and discipline. Trainees who achieve phase III requirements, meet the requirements to graduate from BCT. Evaluation is conducted by end of cycle test and by completing the Army physical fitness test (APFT) by scoring at least 50 points in each event. After meeting all BCT graduation requirements, Soldiers are authorized to wear the Army Black Beret as a Rite of Passage and receive a graduating certificate signed by the SMA and CSA earning the right to be called a “Soldier”.
d. Phase IV. This phase is the first segment of comprehensive MOS training and occurs during weeks 10-13 of OSUT and the first three weeks of AIT. Upon completion of Phase IV BDE Commander can authorize the wear of the individual unit patch on the Army Combat Uniform (ACU).
e. Phase V. This is the final and most progressive stage of MOS training and covers weeks 14-20 of OSUT/AIT. The phase ends with the successful completion of MOS testing, demonstration of apprentice-level proficiency, and completing the Army physical fitness test (APFT) by scoring at least 60 points in each event, and passing the high physical demands test. For combat support and combat service support occupational specialties, Soldiers successfully completing all MOS requirements are authorized to wear the regimental distinctive insignia (RDI) on their Army Service uniform (ASU).
2-2. IET graduation requirements

Soldiers completing BCT and Phases I-III of OSUT must meet the initial foundational and developmental requirements of being a Soldier in the U.S. Army. The expectations for all AIT and OSUT Soldiers graduating from initial entry training is that they are physically ready and cognitively able to execute their Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills and serve as an apprentice in their MOS.


a. BCT and OSUT (Phase I-III).
(1) Complete the end-of-cycle Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) with a minimum of 50 points in each event.
(2) Safely handle, provide proper maintenance, zero and qualify with your individual weapon. All Soldiers will qualify using the M68 sighting device and participate in the weapons immersion program.
(3) Pass the end-of-cycle “hands-on” test and demonstrate elemental proficiency in the Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills.
(4) Qualify on the hand grenade qualification course to standard and throw two live grenades. (At a minimum throw one live grenade only in cases of Army shortages or ammunition constraints).
(5) Demonstrate proficiency in the wear of the chemical protective mask and complete the protective mask confidence exercise (CBRN 2).
(6) Pass the Land Navigation Course with a minimum of a 3 person team but not more than a 4 person team achieving 3 out of 5 points.
(7) Complete the end of cycle 16K foot march.
(8) Demonstrate proficiency in basic First Aid techniques.
(9) Complete Buddy Team Live Fire.
(10) Negotiate Confidence, Obstacle Courses, and Confidence Tower (Must complete 70% of all available obstacles).
(11) Complete Combatives Training.

(1) (OSUT) Complete all BCT graduation requirements identified above.
(2) Pass APFT with a minimum of 60 points in each event.
(3) Pass MOS-specific critical tasks as identified by the proponent school.
(4) Complete the 8 hour personal financial training course.
(5) Complete the Army Traffic Safety Training Program, IAW AR 385-10, paragraph 11-7a (Introductory Training Course I)
(6) Reinforce training in accordance with Table 5-2 this regulation.
(7) Individually assessed and pass the High Physical Demand Test (HPDT) in accordance with AR 611-1 and DA PAM 611-21. (https://www.milsuite.mil/book/groups/smartbookdapam611-21)

2-3. Testing procedures for Advanced Individual Training (AIT) and the MOS portion of One Station Unit training (OSUT) of IET Soldiers


a. Proponents will develop within course tests (end of block/module) for MOS producing courses according to guidance outlined in TR 350-70. Continuously assess the validity of each task evaluated and its relevance; make changes as appropriate.


b. Commanders will ensure Soldiers are tested in accordance with the Individual Student Assessment Plan (ISAP) for the course being presented. Guidelines for development of ISAPs are outlined in in accordance with TR 350-70. The ISAP informs Soldiers, instructors, and other personnel of the course graduation requirements. Explain the requirements of the ISAP to each IET Soldier at the beginning of each course and make available to every student for reference.
c. Course tests must provide a fair and accurate evaluation of the Soldier's ability to perform the tasks presented to established standards.
d. Hands-on, performance-oriented testing is the norm throughout TRADOC. Situational based, written open book reference tests (when used), must require the Soldier to not only extract data, but also apply the data to specific situations they are likely to encounter on the job. Use closed book, knowledge-based written tests only if it is necessary to verify the learner's knowledge as a prerequisite for later performance testing, where the knowledge is applied (as a building block to later tests). All testing is conducted in an environment that would replicate the Soldier's duty position in the unit; as far as safety and environmental considerations will allow and in accordance with test administration instructions.
e. Each test will have at least two versions. Use all versions concurrently.
f. Tests are monitored by quality control personnel reporting to the brigade or ATC commander, as determined by the local commander. Certify unit cadre personnel in accordance

with TR 350-70.


g. Score tests on a go or no-go basis.
h. Conduct counseling with each Soldier to reinforce strengths on tasks accomplished and to correct deficiencies on tasks missed.
i. The goal is 80 to 100 percent performance to standard on all tasks by each Soldier. Consider Soldiers unable to achieve this goal for remedial training and retesting, prior to graduation, or reassignment to another company in a follow-on cycle.
j. Remedial training is a joint responsibility of Soldiers and trainers. Provide Soldiers failing to achieve task/course standards opportunities to review material and practice skills with trainers prior to undergoing retest.
k. In accordance with the ISAP, IET Soldiers that fail an end of block/module retest are prohibited from progressing further in the course and considered for new start to a follow-on class, reclass, or separation.
