- 5-21. Corrective training and corrective action
5-20. On-the-job-trainingOn-the-job training is appropriate for those holdover Soldiers that have completed all POI requirements and are retained in the unit for administrative purposes. Commanders and trainers must ensure that clearly stated on-the-job training objectives are being achieved and Soldiers involved are being employed productively in MOS or MOS-related duties. 5-21. Corrective training and corrective actiona. General. Corrective training and corrective action are tools available to leaders to rectify minor deficiencies, simple infractions, and less serious breaches of discipline; to focus the attention of Trainee/Soldiers, and to inspire compliance with Army standards. At no time is corrective action meant to demean, belittle, or embarrass a Trainee/Soldier. The effective leader knows when to use permissible corrective training and NOT excessive or unauthorized physical activity to coach, teach, train, and mentor Trainee/Soldiers who are not meeting the standard. See table 5-1. The following definitions apply: (1) Corrective Training. Corrective training is for Trainee/Soldiers who have demonstrated that they need, and would benefit from, additional instruction or practice in a particular skill. Corrective training should be directly related to the military skill that the Trainee/Soldier is deficient in and assist him/her in meeting the standard. (2) Corrective Action. Nonpunitive actions used as a motivational tool by authorized cadre members to immediately address deficiencies in performance or conduct and to reinforce required standards. By virtue of administering corrective action, there is recognition that the misconduct did not result from intentional or gross failure to comply with standards of military conduct. Corrective action is inappropriate for situations requiring additional training to master a specific level of skill proficiency, or in matters where punishment is administered as a result of Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) action. (3) Physical exercise for corrective action. Requiring Trainee/Soldiers to perform a reasonable number of repetitions of authorized physical exercises in accordance with FM 7-22 page 5-5 as a motivational tool is permitted for corrective action. However, consideration must be given to the exercises, repetitions, and total number of times each day that exercise is used for corrective action to limit the potential for overtraining and injuries. In phases IV through V+ of training when 40 repetitions are administered there should be a minimum of two minutes of rest between exercises. No more than two corrective exercises per infraction are authorized. Authorized cadre (Chapter 5,paragraph 5-214(c) will alternate between upper-body and lower body or trunk exercises per Table 5-1 and FM 7-22. (4) Other Corrective Action. Nonphysical tasks may be used as corrective action instead of physical exercise. Requiring a Soldier or group of Soldiers to recite the Soldier’s Creed is an example of other action-based corrective action. b. Leaders must exercise good judgment in the administration of corrective action. Corrective action may be applied to entire units if appropriate (correcting an entire platoon failing to show teamwork during Red Phase in a given training event by having them do five repetitions of the pushup, for example), but will be focused at the individual level whenever possible. Improper use can lead to unauthorized mass punishment or hazing. Do not refer to this type of administrative corrective measure as "smoking" or "smoke sessions". c. Only DSs, Squad Leaders, AIT PSGs, 1SGs, and Commanders are authorized to employ physical exercise for corrective action. This augments, but does not limit, a leader’s general military authority to address observed deficiencies. d. IET Soldiers and trainees from other DOD services who are occupying leadership positions are prohibited from administering physical exercise as corrective action. Prior service Trainees are similarly prohibited from administering physical training as corrective action. e. Consider climatic conditions in the decision to use exercise as corrective action. The use of mission oriented protective posture gear during corrective physical training is specifically prohibited. Table 5-1 Corrective action
Notes: 1. The exercises listed in Table 5-1 (FM 7-22 Exercises) are the only exercises authorized for use as corrective action. 2. No more than two corrective action exercises may be administered per deficiency or infraction. 3. The repetition range for corrective action exercises in Phases IV through V+ is at the discretion of the authorized cadre and should be based on the severity of the deficiency or infraction (the number of repetitions will not exceed the max reps listed for each phase of training listed above). 4. Consideration must be given to the exercises, repetitions, and total number of times each day that exercise is used for corrective action to limit the potential of overtraining.
